Description:
Although cytokines and growth factors have been studied for many years, this research is taking on greater
significance today because the completed sequence of the human genome has revealed a variety of potential new drug targets that are related to
previously characterized cytokines, growth factors and receptors. Moreover, the molecules are appearing more and more frequently in the drug
development pipelines of biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. The increasing importance of cytokine and growth factor research has attracted
many life science suppliers, both large retailers as well as niche vendors, who are competing for a share of this attractive market. Whether your
company sells products for basic research, diagnostics or therapeutics, this report provides valuable information on market dynamics and user needs
that will help your business to stay ahead of the curve. Based on an in-depth 30-question survey of over 660 life scientists, this report identifies
preferred quantification and activity assays, new research trends and the most popular suppliers of antibodies, recombinant proteins and DNA
microarrays.
The major objectives of this report are as follows:
- Determine the scientific objectives of cytokine and growth factor researchers.
- Identify the systems and methodologies that are commonly used in cytokine and growth factor research.
- Ascertain the attributes of reagents and products for cytokine and growth factor research that are considered most important by end users.
- Assess levels of satisfaction with currently available products and reagents for cytokine and growth factor research.
- Identify unmet product needs in the cytokine and growth factor market.
- Determine current and projected throughput levels for key product categories.
