Set of three vectors for studying Raf or MAPK signaling pathways: the pCMV-Raf-1 Vector expresses the wild-type Raf protein, the pCMV-RafCAAX expresses a constitutively active form of the Raf protein, and the pCMV-RafS621A Vector expresses a mutated form of Ras with a Ser-to-Ala mutation at residue 621. These vectors can be used to study Raf-related signal transduction pathways in mammalian cells. Each gene is expressed from the constitutive CMV promoter.
Overview

Inhibition of NFκB activity using pCMV-IκBα and pCMVκIαBM from the IκB Dominant-Negative Vector Set
Inhibition of NFκB activity using pCMV-IκBα and pCMVκIαBM from the IκB Dominant-Negative Vector Set (Cat. # 631923). HEK 293 cells were transiently transfected with the indicated plasmids. After 16 hr, fresh medium was added to the cells along with TNF to induce the NFκB pathway. SEAP activity was assayed 6 hr later to determine NFκB activity.
