Pluripotent Stem Cells and iPSC Research: Quality and Innovative Products
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
Neurons, Astrocytes, Microglia: High Quality primary cells source
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
Tips and Tricks: how to increase unstable protein expression in E. Coli
Recombinant protein expression and purification for therapeutic development or for in vitro studies can sometimes be a real challenge. It requires huge investments in both time
Why you should outsource your production of proteins - both stable or unstable
Whether your protein is simple to produce, or complex and requires more development, in any case, outsourcing your protein expression, purification and production is a very viable option
Luciferase promoter reporter clones
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
Achieve success with RNA-based CRISPR-CAS9 knock-out
RNA-based CRISPR-CAS9 gene editing is a vector-free approach that is required for therapeutic perspectives. However, from a practical point of view, what appears as a major challenge to engineer
How to produce high yield capped mRNA
Messenger RNA can be used for protein expression into the cells. The delivery of mRNA is the delivery of a new function that can activate a biological process. In the particular case of the CAS9 mRNA,
How to obtain reliable DNA and RNA quantitation
The iQuant kits developped by ABP Bioprobes provide accurate quantitation of DNA and RNA with a wide range including high sensitivity. They are useful for NGS applications, qPCR analysis, and in
Lympholyte®: The ideal tool for simple and viable lymphocytes isolation
High quality isolation of lymphocytes is a key step in many in vitro research programs covering immunology, infectious diseases and oncology. To simplify this step, CEDARLANE®
shRNA set with improved performances
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
ORF expressing Lentiviral system
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
Primary cells: ready-to-use, QC tested media
In a previous post, I introduced a complete panel of ready-to-use specialized media for smooth muscle primary cells culture. Produced by Cell Applications, a GMP certified
