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

When producing recombinant proteins, one can follow the purification process either by antibodies detecting the target protein specifically, or by adding a tag to it, thus using antibodies detecting not

Montelukast is a marketed drug used for asthma treatment and to relieve symptoms of seasonal allergies. It is known to function as a leukotriene receptor antagonist.

The treatment of diseases by inducing, enhancing, or surpressing an immune response is referred to as Immunotherapy.

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

Trpytophan (trp) is an important and essential amino acid that has a variety of functions within the cell. In addition to being incorporated into the

Stem Cells: a great tool for biomedical research! From the embryo at a very early stage of development, stem cells have two important capabilities: to multiply to infinity by simple division and to give

In a recent post,  I invited you to discover a cell line provided by BPS Bioscience over-expressing the checkpoint

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

Interleukin-17 (IL-17) is a family of 6 closely related cytokines, designated IL-17A-F, that play a central role in mediating inflammation, autoimmunity, and

The main challenge when choosing a transfection reagent is that we don't know how it will work with our own cell type of interest. It is also time consuming to find the optimal conditions. Well, here's

Immune checkpoint molecules play an important role in T cell functionality after TCR/MHC signaling. In fact, blockade of two B7/CD28 family checkpoint molecules, namely CTLA-4 and PD-1, have already demonstrated
