Pharmacological inhibition of COX can provide relief from the symptoms of inflammation and pain. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as aspirin and ibuprofen, exert their effects through inhibition of COX. The names "prostaglandin synthase (PHS)" and "prostaglandin endoperoxide synthetase (PES)" are still used to refer to COX.;Description:Mouse Anti-Cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) Monoclonal Antibody;Host Species:Rabbit;Species Reactivity:Human;Clone#:SP32;Isotype:IgG;Application:IHC;Storage:Store antibody products at 2-8°C. For long term storage, aliquot and freeze at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles;Usage:For Lab Research Use Only;
