Cancer and immune cells crosstalk: immunoediting
Immunoediting of cytokine signals provides another area of pathways which tumours utilise to evade and potentially escape from immunological targeting. This post aims at shedding some light into the Tumour
Is tumour immune evasion mediated by p53/miR-34/PDL1 interaction?
Tumour immune evasion can be mediated by a complex set of interaction involving p53, miR-34 and PDL1. This is the conclusion of a work by Cortez et al. and recently published in JCNI .
The
Why is the hCMEC/D3 cell line a robust in vitro BBB model?
The Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) affects the development of drugs for all pathologies (brain exposure to drugs, side effects...). In the early phases of drug development, there is a strong need for stable
Make sure you detect all your Human IFN-alpha
For humans, IFN-α consists of a group of proteins that are greater than 85% homologous by amino acid sequence. A lot of individual human IFN-α subtypes have been identified and many have
5 popular RayBio® ELISA kits for studying inflammation
With more than 170,000 publications in 2016, inflammation remains a "hot" topic in today's Life Science research (source: Google Scholar). Interestingly, the ELISA test is still one of the most popular
Obesity (adipose tissue) and Diabetes - which ELISA tests, arrays and cellular models?
If your research is related to obesity and adipose tissue, you may be interested by the selection I have performed below of immunoassays (including ELISA tests and antibody arrays), as
New Reporter cell lines for Drug discovery and Immunotherapy checkpoint research
In the last few decades, in the field of Drug Discovery, Immunotherapy has gained more and more importance for the treatment of various diseases and in particular for certain types of
ELISA test to confirm elimination of Host Cell Proteins (HCP) from bioproductions
Expression systems - removing their contaminants
CHO, E. Coli and Pichia are useful expression systems for drug production. This can be for proteins, enzymes or antibody productions. Research and
How can you improve your reporter gene assays?
Gene reporter assays are widely used in research and Drug Discovery. The development of such cell lines is often time-consuming and costly, sometimes upwards of 5-20k € per cell line.
Immunotherapy research: Easily build your own reporter cell line
As discussed previously in our recent Drug Discovery post, Immunotherapy is one of the central research fields for various disease treatments and also certain cancers. A major regulator
