Comment choisir un test multiplex adapté à votre laboratoire Un test multiplex se justifie quand le panel couvre précisément l’arsenal pathogène recherché en clinique et que le laboratoire peut en ga
Comment choisir une protéine cytokine pour votre étude(Post)Comment choisir une protéine cytokine pour votre étude Pour une mesure fonctionnelle in vitro, privilégiez une cytokine recombinante à activité biologique validée sur la lignée cible. Pour une admini
The Leukocyte Adhesion Cascade: Integrin Signalling and Assays(Post)Every leukocyte that reaches an inflamed tissue has solved the same mechanical problem. It must stop, in under a second, against a shear flow that would otherwise sweep it past the site of infection.
Chemokines versus Cytokines: A Detailed Comparative Study(Post)The complex interplay between chemokines and cytokines is fundamental to the immune system's function, orchestrating the body's response to infection, inflammation, and injury. This detailed analy
Ferroptosis and Immunogenic Cell Death(Page) B-Cell Depletion: Why Anti-CD20 Spares the Antibody(Post)You can remove almost every B cell from an animal and barely move its antibody titre. That is not a failed experiment — it is the expected result, and it follows from one fact: CD20 is switched off a
Leukemia Inhibitory Factor: An Overview (Post)Leukemia Inhibitory Factor and JAK-STAT Signalling Pathway Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) is a cytokine that belongs to the interleukin-6 (IL-6) family of cytokines. Other members of
Understanding T Cell Fatigue: Implications for Immune Function and Therapeutic Interventions(Post)T cells are central players in adaptive immunity, responsible for recognizing and eliminating infected or aberrant cells. Upon encountering antigens, T cells undergo clonal expansion and differ
PD-1/PD-L1 Checkpoint Signalling: Pathway, Function and Assays(Post)PD-1 does not switch a T cell off; it moves the threshold. Engagement of PD-1 by PD-L1 recruits a single phosphatase into the immunological synapse, and that one recruitment event is enough to collap
Allorecognition Pathway: Transplant Rejection, DSA and GvHD(Post)Transplant rejection is the fastest, most violent adaptive immune response a body can mount — and it is a response to a molecule rather than to a pathogen. Somewhere between one and ten per cent of a
What is an Antigen?(Post)Antigen's are foreign molecules recognised by the immune system. Antigens can be protein, carbohydrate, lipid or nucleic acid molecules. Examples include viruses and bacteria as well as fr
Dendritic Cells: Tracing the Developmental Lineage Pathway(Post)Dendritic cells (DCs) are pivotal in the immune system, orchestrating innate and adaptive immune responses. Understanding their developmental lineage pathway is crucial in immunology, particularly
Necrosis: Types, Causes, Symptoms & Prevention Guide(Post)Cell Biology · PathologyNecrosis: Types, Causes, Mechanisms and How It Is MeasuredNecrosis is cell death accompanied by membrane rupture and release of intracellular contents — which is what makes it
VEGF: Inflammation and Tumourigenesis(Post)What is VEGF? Vascular Endothelial Growth Factors (VEGFs) are a group of homodimeric polypeptides, and are master regulators of vascular development, maintenance and a
The Double-Edged Sword: How Neutrophil Traps Can Both Help and Hinder Cancer's Spread(Post)The Double-Edged Sword: How Neutrophil Traps Can Both Help and Hinder Cancer's Spread In the intricate battlefield of the human body, the immune system’s foot soldiers, neutrophils, have long been re
