Th17 cell-related Multiplex immunoassays
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
Cancer and immune cells crosstalk: immunoediting
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
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, such as RhoA, Rac1, Cdc42, and the proto-oncogen
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.
How sample preparation can affect your biomarker studies (II)
In a previous post, we looked at the importance of sample preparation methods depending on the biomarker being studied (e.g. MMPs, cytokines). Today, let's focus on cell / tissue lysates.
Tip #1
Tubulin polymerisation measurement - made easy!
Recently, I issued a post about a method which allows measuring microtuble binding capabilities of proteins of interest. Today, I invite you to look at methods for
Tubulin:Microtubule ratio measured in cells
Post-Translational Modifications (PTM) of Tubulin
In this post, I'd like to take a look at the current understanding of tubulin PTMs, that include tyrosination/detyrosination, Δ2-tubulin formation, acetylation, phosphorylation, ubiquitination, glutamylation,
3 functional assays to investigate actin dynamics
Today, I'd like to give you an overview about methods in actin research with validated R&DÂ products and kits which will allow you to measure binding to actin and effects on the polymerisation dynamics
