Protein kinase R (PKR) is a kinase encoded by the EIF2AK2 gene and is involved in central cellular processes such as mRNA translation, transcriptional control, regulation of apoptosis, and proliferation. PKR plays a key role in the innate immunity pathway and is a mediator of the antiviral effects exerted by interferons. PKR also regulates eIF2α through phosphorylation. Dysregulation of PKR has been implicated in cancer, neurodegenerative disease, inflammation, and metabolic disorders.

The introduction of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) in the early 1970’s offered researchers a non-radiometric immunoassay platform without compromising sensitivity. Over the last 50 years scientists have made huge strides in disease research and drug discovery and a demand for greater assay throughput and sensitivity has evolved. In response, more robust immunoassays have been developed to address some of the limitations of the standard, colorimetric ELISA.
Find out about the most common limitations of traditional ELISAs and how different ELISA alternative technologies address these limitations.
