Coeliac Disease Signaling – Review | Assay Genie(Post)
By Ciara Coleman PhD General Introduction Coeliac Disease (CD) is defined as a common, chronic inflammatory disease
LAG-3: Revitalizing T Cells in Exhaustion for Combination Therapies(Post)Lymphocyte Activation Gene-3 (LAG-3) is an immune checkpoint receptor that plays a critical role in regulating T cell function. In recent years, LAG-3 has emerged as a potential target fo
CD28: Amplifying T Cell Responses for Better Tumor Clearance(Post)The CD28 molecule plays a crucial role in amplifying T cell activation, which is critical for mounting effective immune responses against tumors. By engaging with co-stimulatory molecules
NK Cell Cytotoxicity Pathway: Receptors, Signalling and Assays(Post)A natural killer cell decides by subtraction. It carries no rearranged antigen receptor and no memory of what it has seen. It presses a panel of germline-encoded receptors against a target and integr
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
Unconventional T Cells: Already Armed, and No MHC Required(Post)Most immunology is written as though a T cell must first be told what to look for. Three lineages did not read that memo. γδ T cells, invariant NKT cells and MAIT cells leave the thymus with their ef
Boiling Proteins for Western Blotting: Optimal Conditions and Best Practices(Post)Protocols · Western BlottingBoiling Proteins for Western BlottingHeating protein samples in SDS loading buffer denatures proteins and coats them in a uniform negative charge for clean SDS-PAGE s
Ivuxolimab: Redefining Cancer Immunotherapy and Research(Post)Quick Facts About IvuxolimabWhat is ivuxolimab?Ivuxolimab is a monoclonal antibody targeting CD47, a "don't eat me" signal that cancer cells exploit to evade immune destruction.How does
Emapalumab: Unlocking the Potential of Targeting IFN-γ in HLH Treatment(Post)Quick Facts About EmapalumabWhat is Emapalumab?Emapalumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody that neutralizes interferon-gamma (IFN-γ). It is the first FDA-approved therapy for primary
Uliledlimab: Unveiling the Role of Anti-CD47 in Cancer Research(Post)Quick Facts About UliledlimabWhat is Uliledlimab?Uliledlimab is a monoclonal antibody targeting CD47, a checkpoint protein that helps tumors evade immune system detection. By blocking CD
Apamistamab: Advancing Leukemia Treatment through Targeted Radioimmunotherapy(Post)Quick Facts About ApamistamabWhat is Apamistamab?Apamistamab is a monoclonal antibody that targets the CD45 antigen on hematopoietic cells.How does Apamistamab work?When labeled with the
Unlocking the Next Wave of Cancer Treatment: The Promise and Progress of CAR-T Cell Therapy(Post)Imagine a living drug, engineered from a patient's own immune system, that can hunt down and destroy cancer cells with remarkable precision. This isn't science fiction; it's the reality of Chimeric An
Troubleshooting high ELISA concentrations(Post)QUICK ANSWER If your ELISA returns sample concentrations that are orders of magnitude too high, the assay itself is usually fine — the error is almost always in data analysis. The most
cGAS-STING cytosolic DNA sensing(Page) Car t signalling pathway · H(Page) TNFRSF9: Enhancing Immune Cell Activity Against Tumors(Post)Introduction to TNFRSF9 and Its Role in Immune ActivationTNFRSF9, also known as 4-1BB or CD137, is a co-stimulatory receptor expressed on the surface of T cells, natural killer (NK) cells
Blood Coagulation Pathway: Factors, Cascade & Disorders [Guide](Post)Haematology · CoagulationBlood Coagulation Pathway: Factors, Cascade and DisordersThe coagulation cascade is usually taught as two pathways converging on a common one. That framework maps neatly onto
Antigen Processing and Presentation: MHC-I, MHC-II, Cross-Priming(Post)Every T-cell response begins with a protein being taken apart. Before a CD8 or CD4 T cell can see anything, an antigen has to be degraded into peptides of the right length, delivered to the right com
chemokine receptors and ligands(Post)Chemokines are highly conserved cytokines that control the movement of cells around the body. All 45 members of the chemokine family can be divided into 4 subfamilies depending on th
Anti-PD-L1: Targeting Tumor Evasion with Immune Checkpoint Blockade(Post)IntroductionCancer cells have developed sophisticated mechanisms to evade the immune system, particularly through the inhibition of T-cell responses. One such mechanism involves the progr
