Answer
We do not have specific analyte panels for transdifferentiation or reprogramming. However, we have a large list of analytes at our disposal, as wells as preassembled analyte panels. We suggest screening your cell culture supernates with a broader panel of analytes first. This would help you identify signature changes in protein secretion that could be used to track the success of future reprogramming or trandifferentiation experiments.
