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

PBL Assay Sciences offer a new monoclonal antibody to neutralize Human Interferon (IFN) activity,

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

PBL Assay Science, the specialists of Interferon related quality reagents, have just released 4 new unique products to be used in neutralization assays. I am pleased to introduce them in this post, in

Cell-based assays have become a classic way to monitor cells' reactions to a treatment or a specific stimulus. They involve a reporter construction and a detection system. The classic system is Firefly

Enteroviruses are common human viruses causing rather mild symptoms. However many different species and serotypes (incl. Echoviruses, Polioviruses, Coxsackieviruses A and B) can cause serious illness

Released by the kidneys, Renin is an enzyme which belongs to the Renin-Angiotensin system (RAS) and is involved in blood pressure homeostasis.

In healthcare, Renin assay blood tests can be performed to

Cell-based assays, screening for pathway activation or inhibition are classically done with promoter reporter clones expressing Firefly luciferase. Brighter, more stable, more sensitive, more convenient

Optimal knock-down can be done by a shRNA sequence that depends on the gene expression level and the cell type. Usually, 4 shRNA should be tested to find the one inducing a minimum of 70% increase of the

Tropical and vector-borne diseases account for more than 17% of all infectious diseases, causing more than 1 million deaths annually. Recognizing infected patients early in their clinical course is critical

ORF expression in Mammalian cells is very useful for many applications: protein production with HEK293, over-expression of tagged protein for immuno-tracking or immuno-precipitation, development of a cell

Gene knock-out, which is gene editing leading to loss of function, just requires delivering into cells the 2 CRISPR system actors: the CAS9 endonuclease and the specific guide RNA to target the gene of
