The phrase "assess the activation of" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where you are evaluating or measuring the initiation or engagement of a process, system, or response.
Example: "In this study, we aim to assess the activation of the immune response in patients after vaccination."
Alternatives: "evaluate the initiation of" or "measure the engagement of".
The aim of this study was to assess the activation of superficial brain structures by popular dance music and art music in young adults using functional magnetic resonance imaging.
The present study was designed to assess the activation of key neuronal populations in subdivisions of the accumbens and subdivisions of the medial prefrontal cortex in cocaine-sensitized rats, using the expression of the immediate early gene, c-fos, as a marker of neuronal activation.
Were any intermediate outcome measures taken to assess the activation of the causal mechanism(s) judged to underpin the intervention?
Anti-ED1 immunostaining was performed to assess the activation of microglia.
In order to assess the activation of NFκB quantitatively in Mp infected BMM from WT and MyD88−/− mice, we used an ELISA that only detected the activated form of this transcription factor by virtue of its ability to recognize its specific DNA target sequence.
Since we found that slower migration (up-shifting) of ERK5 in SDS-PAGE is well correlated to ERK5 activation and is much more sensitive than that detected by anti pERK5 Ab, a phenomenon that was also reported in other studies [21], [27], [28], we decided to assess the activation of endogenous ERK5 by its gel shifting.
In addition, we assessed the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways.
Finally, we assessed the activation of NF-κB and activating protein-1, as well as phosphorylation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase by electrophoretic mobility shift assay with super shift and/or Western blot.
We initially assessed the activation of the GTPase by capturing the activated form of RalA on a GST-affinity column containing a fragment of Ral binding protein 1 (RalBP1) [19].
The modulation of the ERN amplitude in relation to memory decisions was interpreted as reflecting the activity of an internal monitoring device assessing the activation of the two possible decisions [29].
We assessed the activation of the STAT3 (signal transducer and activator of transcription 3) signalling pathway and the downstream targets in the cells with different expression levels of NS.
