IDO and TDO - Cell based & biochemical assays
Â
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 cells to evade
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
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, wound healing, allergy
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
Histone Deacetylases (HDACs) and Alzheimer
In a recent post, I concentrated on the role of HDACs in cancer: Histone Deacetylases (HDACs) and Cancer and mentioned that some HDACs are overexpressed and show very high activities in a number of tumours.
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.
Deubiquitylating enzymes (DUBs) as pharmaceutical targets
Â
While it is likely that all Ubiquitin-Like proteins (UBLs) will be important for drug discovery because of these associations, Ubiquitin has been the most completely validated for this purpose by genetic,
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
IQF substrates for true isopeptidase/deubiquitinase activity measurement
Deubiquitylating enzymes (DUBs) are promising therapeutical targets, especially in oncology (see my previous post dedicated to this topic). Today, I'd like to introduce you to new innovative
Antibody purification troubleshooting tips
Antibody-based techniques are widely used in Life Science laboratories. Antibody purification is often required to raise purity yield of antibody production batches or to reach publication-grade
