Description

Brefeldin A is an inhibitor of intracellular protein transport. Incubation of cells in culture with Brefeldin A leads to blockade of protein transport to the Golgi complex (GC) and accumulation of proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Addition of Brefeldin A during the last hours of in vitro activation of cells results in enhanced detection of intracellular cytokines. Brefeldin A is effective for enhanced detection of a majority of mouse and human intracellular cytokines; however, it is advised that the investigators evaluate the use and efficacy of this reagent as well as other protein transport inhibitors such as Monensin in their specific assay system.

Applications Reported

For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use. The Brefeldin A Solution is supplied at 1000X working concentration in methanol. Prior to addition to the cell cultures, a 1:1000 dilution in the culture media should be made. The final working concentration of the Brefeldin A (at 1x) is 3.0 ug/ml.
