Gene knock-out in hard-to-transfect cells
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
Five new fluorescent probes to easily image live cellular processes
Real time visualization of cellular events by Live Cell Imaging (LCI) has led to a better understanding of the global dynamic biological process. In a constantly evolving field, tebu-bio regularly introduces
New - you know CRISPR, now it's Prime Editing
This month, a new leap forward in gene editing has been published in Nature under the title 'Search-and-replace genome editing without double-strand breaks or donor DNA'. DOI: 10.1038/s41586-019-1711-4.
How can TR-FRET facilitate your cell signalling studies?
Time-Resolved Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (TR-FRET) is a robust and homogeneous fluorescence detection technology and a real alternative to ELISA to perform Cell Signalling studies. Based on this
ChIP for sensitive & fast genomic mapping
Chromatin profiling assays enable the mapping of protein-DNA interactions that influence chromatin modeling and gene expression.
Over the years, Chromatin ImmunoPrecipitation (ChIP) assays became the gold-standard
New Primary cell Models: a focus on Kidney cells
tebu-bio is pleased to announce their new partnership for a European distribution of Novabiosis, a US based manufacturer providing cryopreserved primary human cells for the biotechnology, pharmaceutical
World's first 3',3'-Cyclic CAMP ELISA
The cGAS-cGAMP-STING cell signalling pathway plays a critical role in antiviral and antitumor immunity as well as mediating autoimmune responses. Dysregulation or aberrant activation of the pathway by
New SARS-CoV/ACE2 inhibitor assays & small molecules for drug discovery
Many initiatives led by worldwide scientific networks are currently being launched to decipher cellular mechanisms involved in SARS-CoV-2 cellular entry. For example, a recent study has identified 332
How to monitor inflammatory cytokines in anti-COVID drug discovery
The close relation between Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), unpaired adaptive immune responses and overexpression of inflammatory cytokines has been described more than a decade ago (1, 2).

Immunoassay development: reliable sources of quality reagents
We understand how crucial it is to have access to sustainable, quality sources of reagents when developing and/or producing the same immunoassays over long periods of times. Over the years, we've established
How are mRNA vaccines changing drug discovery?
mRNA vaccines are developing very quickly with dozens of ongoing clinical trials against cancers or infectious diseases (e.g. HIV or more recently SARS-Cov-2). Recombinant monoclonal antibody (mAB) based
COVID-19: relevant cell culture models
One of the challenges in respiratory research in general, and for COVID-19 related projects in particular, is to have access to relevant in vitro cell culture models. Human lung epithelium models are currently
