Used in biomedical research to detect and quantify levels of IFI16 protein in human samples. Helps in studying inflammatory responses, autoimmune diseases, and viral infections such as HIV and herpes. Commonly applied in immunology and molecular biology labs to assess interferon pathway activation. Supports research into cancer progression and cellular senescence due to p16's role in cell cycle regulation. Provides a reliable method for measuring protein expression in serum, plasma, and cell lysates.
