I am a transplantation imunology researcher. I have spent the better
part of the last 3 years developing a number of nonradioactively
labelled riboprobes that are good for in situ hybridization and
Northern blots. I have developed probes for Human IL2-10, Granzyme B,
IFN-g, c-fos, some chemokines and selected rat and mouse specific
probes as well. In my hands nonradioactively labelled riboprobes are
more sensitive and specific than oligonucleotide probes and are good
for at least 1 year in the freezer. I have since received requests for
aliquots of these probes from colleagues from as far away as
Australia. Some of my local colleagues have encouraged me to offer
these for commercial sale. As I have spent a significant amount of
time and effort developing these perhaps other researchers would not
need to .
So the question is:
If I offered readymade riboprobes for sale would there be a market?.
Would YOU have an interest in using them? What amounts? Would you need
sense probes?
I guess what I am asking is if you think this is worth pursuing?
Thank you in advance for your attention.
Please reply to my email so as not to clutter the list.
