Transmembrane Signal Transduction Inflammatory mediators
Induction of EGFP expression by 1 nM IL-1 in HeLa cells transiently transfected with a pIL8 reporter Minutes after IL1 IL1 vehicle

Comments Cell to cell variations in both amplitude and kinetics of signal transduction events cause a significant noise in the system. Obtaining detailed information of regulatory mechanisms at the single cell level requires identification of fundamental controlling parameters. -------------- To use the single cell data as the basis for mathematical modelling of signalling networks. To use the theoretical predictions for improved design of the biological experiment.
