3 Reasons to use fresh TLR9 agonists
As part of the innate immune response, Toll-like receptor 9 recognizes unmethylated CpG nucleotide sequences, which are very common in viruses and prokaryotes and more rare in vetebrates. Scientists
Immunotherapy Screening - GITR:GITRL pathway
In previous blogs, I invited you to read about the relevance of the B7-1 : CD28, B7-1 : CTLA4, the BLTA:HVEM, CD47:SIRPα , and the PD-1/PD-L1/PD-L2 pathway for immunotherapy screenings and discussed
Glycosylation studies in the inflammasome
In a previous post on tumour microenvironment (TME) and glycosylation, we indicated that new tools for studies on glycosylation of proteins were being developed. We are happy to announce that they are
Where can I find the best PARPs?
Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) is a family of proteins which catalyze the NAD-dependent addition of Poly ADP-ribose (PAR) chains to nuclear proteins. PARPs play key signaling roles in apoptosis,
The TRPV1 Pain Receptor activates T cells
The Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) ion channel family participates in numerous functions of the Nervous System. A recent publication tends to indicate that TRP might also be of interest for therapeutical
6 Tips for a successful ELISA
ELISA are immunoassays widely used in biomarker detection and validation. They have been used in research and clinical settings for more than 40 years, and they allow to quantify, in a simple way, thousands
HSCI's researchers switch skin cells into pain-sensing neurons
In a recent publication, Dr Clifford J. Woolf's
Measure antioxidative capacities of your samples
Free radicals and Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) are highly reactive molecules generated by normal cellular processes, environmental stress, and UV irradiation. ROS react with numerous cellular components
Gateway® cloning technology: Is it as easy as they say?
Molecular biology experts have been telling us for a while that the Gateway® cloning vectors are easy-to-use, saving them significant time and effort.
Basically, the technology allows you to start with
Antibody arrays: a matter of species
Research is never easy. That's why we either like doing it or supporting it.
That said, it's easier for some researchers than others. If you are working on human, mouse or even rat models, you have quite
