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 assays is made.

Interestingly, the experimental design is simple and is based on 3 steps:

1. Plate
2. Treat and fix your cells of interest (adherent or in suspension)
3. Detect the target proteins with the optimized reagents provided in the kit (450 nm colorimetric detection)

These Colorimetric Cell-Based ELISA Kits enable the detection of various target proteins (biomarkers). Some references also enable the precise measurement of the phosphorylation status of proteins of interest. They can easily

Since the discovery of reprogramming factors in 2006 and the boom of CRISPR gene editing strategies, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) have emerged as new cellular models. The development

Following up on my series of posts based on Dr Chris Bohl's work at Sekisui Xenotech, in this post I invite you to take a look at the work he has published, together with Dr Christopher Seib, Maciej Czerwinski,

Pooled human hepatocytes are a preferred test system in many drug discovery and development applications requiring intact cellular systems for in vitro testing. Intact hepatocytes contain the

NADPH is a critical cofactor supporting numerous biochemical reactions. In ADME-Tox studies, NAD(P)H regeneration is strongly recommended when using drug metabolizing enzymes (ex. Cytochrome

Membrane transporters can have clinically relevant effects on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of a drug in various organs and tissues by controlling its absorption, distribution and elimination.

I am following up on my series of posts based on the work done by Chris Bohl and collaborators at Sekisui Xenotech. Here, he looks at the effect of cryopreservation on pooled hepatocytes metabolic activities,

In the field of neurosciences, increasing research is being undertaken on neurodegenerative disorders like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases, as well as on nerve injury and regeneration. One of the

Kupffer primary cells are macrophages endogenous to the liver which have the ability to modulate hepatic inflammation and injury associated with various pathophysiologies and toxicities.

Sekisui XenoTech have announced the addition of Rodent Hepatocytes to their patented CryostaX® product line.

The CryostaX® in vitro drug discovery and preclinical drug

In this post, I'd like to introduce the Human liver Lysosomes developed by Sekisui-Xenotech, which have opened up a new era in catabolism models. Read on to learn more, and also to download a case study

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
