Background

PKR (protein kinase, activatable by RNA) is a double-stranded (ds) RNA-activated protein kinase that plays a key role in the innate immunity response to viral infection in higher eukaryotes (reviewed in Langland et al, 2006). PKR contains an N-terminal dsRNA-binding domain that consists of consensus dsRNA-binding motifs and a C-terminal kinase domain containing conserved motifs for protein kinase activity. DsRNA is a well characterized danger signal that the cell uses recognize the presence of viral infection. PKR binds to dsRNA molecules during viral infection and triggers antiviral innate defense mechanisms including the induction of type I interferons and downregulation of gene expression. One of the most well characterized substrates of activated PKR is the eukaryotic tranlation initiation facter, eIF2. PKR phosphorylates eIF2 during virus infection, which ultimately leads to an inhibition in protein synthesis and block in viral replication. The key role played by PKR in innate responses to viral infections is underscored by the large number of DNA and RNA viruses, whose hosts range from insects to humans, that code for PKR inhibitors. PKR is also known as PRKR, EIF2AK1, and EIF2AK2. Recognizes PKR; human PKR is 942 amino acid protein.

1. What is the difference between the Quantikine and Duoset ELISA kits?
   • Our Quantikine kits are fully optimized and validated for the sample types listed on the product specific webpage and datasheet, as this can vary between kits. Each kit is supplied ready to use with one pre-coated 96-well plate, a detection antibody directly conjugated to HRP, and all other necessary reagents. These kits are ideal for researchers who want the convenience of a ready to use and optimized ELISA product. Some of these kits are also available prepackaged in larger 6 and 50 plate sizes.Our DuoSet Kits, in contrast, are ELISA development kits containing the capture and detection antibody, the mass-value calibrated standard, and streptavidin-HRP to prepare approximately 5 or 15 plates. Ancillary reagents will need to be used/purchased, and for most kits, we will recommend one of our Ancillary Reagent Kits, which contain the reagents we use ourselves in-house. DuoSet kits are validated only for cell culture supernatant samples and therefore require further development and validation for accurate measurement in more complex samples such as serum and plasma. Our DuoSet Kits offer an economical, flexible alternative for the experienced ELISA user.
