5 Tips for Flow Cytometry
Flow cytometry, even if somehow a "classical" technique, is still very valuable in Immunology. Uses of flow cytometry vary from cell identification & sorting based on membrane molecules, characterisation
Get your ELISA results before lunch!
ELISAs are widely used in biomarker-related studies, especially when a high number of samples is involved, and only a few biomarkers need to be quantified. That said, incubations can be somehow cumbersome,
D-dimer and Cardiovascular Disease
Fibrinogen is the main protein of the blood coagulation system. It consists of two identical subunits that contain three polypeptide chains: alpha, beta and gamma. The process of blood coagulation results
Differentiate between K48- and K63-specific Ubiquitination
Ubiquitination is a common post translational protein modification that occurs through an isopeptide linkage between the C-terminus of ubiquitin and the ε-amino group of a lysine residue on the target
Flow cytometry intracellular staining
Intracellular Flow Cytometry enables the identification and analysis of signaling and functional markers within cells from samples containing heterogeneous cell populations. Many cell types can be thus
IL-1 family quantified simultaneously...at last!
The IL-1 family has long been known as a key player in the effector role of macrophages in innate defence against tumours and infections. It plays an important role in the field of natural / innate immunity
Invasion of influenza A
The influenza season in Europe is over... until next year. Influenza remains one of the most important public healthcare problems, especially in risk groups.
Vive la différence! To pool or not to pool...
In a previous post on whether samples should be pooled or not for proteomic profiling, we discussed this approach, which can be quite cost-wise, while still allowing to see the main biomarkers
Blood as a cells highway
For years, we already
