Monoclonal antibodies
In 1975 G. Köhler and C. Milstein published in Nature the introduction of a hybridoma technique to produce monoclonal antibodies. This technique has become a pillar in modern biological science Read more
Loading Controls
Western blotting is a commonly used method to determine specific protein levels in a sample (e.g. tissue homogenate, extract). Loading control antibodies... Read more
Western Blotting (Immunoblot): Gel Electrophoresis for Proteins
Western Blotting (also called immunoblotting) is a technique used for analysis of individual proteins in a protein mixture (e.g. a cell lysate). In Western blotting (immunoblotting) the protein mixture is applied to a gel electrophoresis in a carrier matrix. Read more
What is Flow Cytometry (FACS Analysis)?
Originally developed in the late 1960s, flow cytometry is a popular analytical cell-biology technique that utilizes light to count and profile cells in a heterogenous fluid mixture. Flow cytometry is a particularly powerful. Read more
An Introduction to ELISA (Part 1)
While there are many different kinds of ELISAs, the basic principle behind the assay is strikingly simple: antibodies conjugated to an enzyme (most commonly a peroxidase) are bound to an analyte that has been immobilized on a solid support (commonly a 96-well microtiter plate). Read more
An Introduction to ELISA (Part 2)
ELISA is an exceptionally powerful and versatile technique, and there are number of different ways to approach it. This article covers the various ELISA formats that are most commonly commercially available, and discusses the nuanced differences between them. Read more
The Epigenome Project
The frugality of the human genome contrasts with the profound complexity and diversity of the human species, and poses a number of interesting questions. Namely, how do you build such a stunningly complex system with so few distinguishable, functional units? Read more
Antibody and immunoglobulin alternatives (Part 1)
There is mounting pressure to develop and optimize alternatives to traditional immunoglobulins. Both products derived from immunoglobulins and non Ig-based alternatives are rising in popularity... Read more
Antibody and immunoglobulin alternatives (Part 2)
The common characteristic for antibody mimetics is the intention to provide alternatives that perform similar or better than antibodies. Their origins are very diverse and accordingly there is a wide... Read more
Protein Tumor Markers
Biomarkers that are produced at higher levels in cancerous conditions compared to benign conditions are collectively termed tumor markers. Most but not all of these substances are proteins that can be measured. Read more
Immunoprecipitation, CoIP, and ChIP-seq
At its core, immunoprecipitation is used to isolate a single protein. Various evolutions have turned this simple method into one of the mainstays in life science research. Read more
Protein Exosome Marker
Exosomes are extracellular microvesicles (EMV) excreted by most cells involved in intercellular communication. They are present in bodily fluids and can contain a vast array of different proteins depending on their host cell. Exosomes are excellent biomarkers for liquid biopsies e.g. in cancer diagnosis. Read more
MeDIP, hMeDIP, bisulfite sequencing, and TAB-seq
Modification at the 5-carbon of cytosine in DNA is an epigenetic mark that influences gene expression, cell differentiation and embryonic development. While 5-mC is the most common and widely studied DNA-methylation cytosine methylation and demethylation processes give rise to various other forms. Read more
Nanodiscs
Nanodiscs are soluble synthetic phospholipid bilayers that are encircled by a belt of helical membrane scaffold proteins. They enable reconstitution and detailed study of membrane proteins. Read more
Independent Validation Initiative
Most commercially available antibodies lack critical validation data. This is why we started the (IVI) to independently validate commercialantibodies and ELISA kits. The Independent Validation Initiative is centered around core values of transparency, reproducibility, scientific integrity. Read more
