EPO has a reputation with many non-scientists through bad press in the cycling/racing environment. From a researcher's point of view, Erythropoietin or EPO is a 34 KDa glycoprotein known as the main

Interferons (IFNs) are low molecular weight proteins that belong to the class of glycoproteins known as cytokines. IFNs are part of the non-specific immune system and are an important first line of defense

Classically, it was known that CD4⁺ T cells, upon activation and expansion, develop into different T helper cell subsets with different cytokine profiles and distinct effector functions to effect the

Immunoediting of cytokine signals provides another area of pathways which tumours utilise to evade and potentially escape from immunological targeting. This post aims at shedding some light into the

Knowledge about which epitopes are recognized by a blocking antibody can help researchers to develop improved antibodies

For humans, IFN-α consists of a group of proteins that are greater than 85% homologous by amino acid sequence.  A lot of individual human IFN-α subtypes have been identified and many have different

With more than 170,000 publications in 2016, inflammation remains a "hot" topic in today's Life Science research (source: Google Scholar). Interestingly, the ELISA test is still one of the most popular

PBL assay specializes in the development of IFN related research Tools. One of their most appreciated assay kit by the IFN research community is the ELISA test kit for all Human IFN Alpha subtypes (41115

Cell-Based ELISA tests now enable precise measurement of the phosphorylation status or expression profiles of target proteins (biomarkers) in whole cells. In this post, a review of high performing cell-based

As is already known, multiple families of small GTPases (Ras, Arf and Rho families) make up the Ras GTPase superfamily. Due to their role as molecular switches in cell signalling (active GTP-bound state

Tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) is a classic substrate for peroxidase activity that is used for microwell plate analysis such as an ELISA test. A quantitative color change from yellow to blue reveals the activity

The ELISA test (acronym of Enzyme Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay) is a test principally used In immunology to detect and/or assay a protein, antigen or antibody in a biological fluid sample . It has many practical
