Stat 3 tyrosine phosphorylation (research and development assay)

Stat 3 tyrosine phosphorylation

Immunology

IL-6 may be used to assess tyrosine phosphorylation of STAT 3. Mutations in STAT 3 cause Hyper IgE Syndrome. For patients with early onset autoimmune disease increased tyrosine phosphorylation of STAT 3 can indicate a gain of function STAT 3 mutation. Request STAT3 to IL-10 for VEOIBD patients where IL-10R deficiency is being considered
