Erythropoietin - active EPO for... hematologists!
EPO has a reputation with many non-scientists through bad press in the cycling/racing environment. From a researcher's point of view, Erythropoietin or EPO is a 34 KDa glycoprotein known as the
Caspases as pharmaceutical targets - screening for inhibitors?
Caspases (cysteine-dependent aspartate-directed proteases) belong to the family of cysteine proteases and are involved in networks controlling cell death (apoptosis and necrosis) and
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
Using CRISPR to knockout an essential gene
Genome editing technology enabled by CRISPR and TALEN has become mainstream. Most cell biology labs are engaged in projects to create custom cell lines with knock-outs and knock-ins, and companies such
9 pathway-specific screening assays in Immunotherapy
Interferons - the first line of defense against viral infections
Interferons (IFNs) are low molecular weight proteins that belong to the class of glycoproteins known as cytokines. IFNs are part of the non-specific immune system and are an important first line of defense
IDO and TDO - Cell based & biochemical assays
Which roles do IDO and TDO play in Immunotherapy? Immune evasion is one of the identifying hallmarks of cancer and researchers are investigating the complex mechanisms that enable cancer
Immunotherapy Screening – OX40:OX40L pathway
The treatment of diseases by inducing, enhancing, or surpressing an immune response is referred to as Immunotherapy. T-cell activation and inactivation requires the coordination of various co-inhibitory
