研究目的
Describing the immunodetection of endogenous FOXO by confocal microscopy as a chemical tool to quantify FOXO expression levels, its cellular location, and its active/inactive forms with relevant antibodies.
研究成果
The protocol described is an accurate method to detect FOXO proteins and other transcription factors, serving as a valuable tool for validating the activity of new molecules and understanding disease mechanisms.
研究不足
The protocol's effectiveness may vary depending on the cell line used and the quality of antibodies. Additional cell viability assays and compound solubility tests are recommended for accurate results.
