9 pathway-specific screening assays in Immunotherapy
Focus on Actin - G-F Actin ratio measured in cells
In previous posts, I invited you to look at versatile methods to
- Visualize actin: Focus on Actin staining and visualization
- Measure
Ion channel over expressing cell lines for inhibitory screening
In a recent post on Venomous toxin ion channel modulators, we looked at toxin derived peptides to manipulate a wide variety of ion channels. These toxins can be used as tools to characterize
Angiogenin favours liver cancer (HCC) growth & expansion
A publication earlier this year by Bárcena et al. shows that angiogenin plays a crucial role in the onset and development of liver
IDO and TDO - Cell based & biochemical assays
Which roles do IDO and TDO play in Immunotherapy? Immune evasion is one of the identifying hallmarks of cancer and researchers are investigating the complex mechanisms that enable cancer
Immunotherapy Screening – OX40:OX40L pathway
The treatment of diseases by inducing, enhancing, or surpressing an immune response is referred to as Immunotherapy. T-cell activation and inactivation requires the coordination of various co-inhibitory
Crosstalk between cancer and immune cells: tumor escape
A crosstalk between cancer and immune cells is established during cancers. The immune system is able to fight against tumour cells (see my previous post "Immunosurveillance: Crosstalk between cancer and
3 easy colorimetric assays to measure ECM components
Matrix components are key R&D elements in pharmaceutical and cosmetology with tremendous impacts on tissue regeneration, skin repair,
Rat liver tritosomes in the endosome-lysosome pathway
Rat liver tritosomes are hepatic lysosomes that have been loaded with Tyloxapol (Triton WR 1339), a non-ionic surfactant. Tyloxapol is taken up by hepatocytes through endocytosis and is trafficked to lysosomal
2 assays to assess GEF and GAP activity
In my previous post Small GTPases: Measuring small G protein activation I looked at state-of the-art methods for measuring the activation of small G proteins,
Versatile measurement of protein binding to microtubules
You suspect your protein binds to microtubules? That it might stabilize or destabilize these filamentous structures? Then this post is here to help you to find a meaningful assay to validate your assumption.
