Immunopeptidomics: Mapping the Hidden Landscape of the Cancer Immunome(Post)Imagine a high-stakes game of hide-and-seek where the seeker is your immune system and the hider is a master of disguise: cancer. For decades, we believed the 'wanted' posters for tumor cells were li
ELISA High Background Troubleshooting: FBS Matrix Interference(Post)Quick answer A researcher running a Rat Eotaxin/CCL11 (Eotaxin) sandwich ELISA saw sample readings sit above the top standard and wells turn colour the instant TMB was added — even aft
The common characteristics of cancer | Assay Genie(Post)By Shane Houston, PhD Candidate Queen’s University Belfast Cancer is an age old adversary of the human race. This out-of-control growth of abnormal cells has been a shadow over human health t
In Vivo Cell Depletion: Antibody Targets, Fc Mechanisms and Dosing(Post)A depletion experiment is only as good as the depletion you can prove. Injecting a functional-grade antibody and assuming the population is gone is the most common failure mode in in vivo immunology.
