NYU Study Reveals How Brain's Immune System Fights Viral Encephalitis
New York University biologists have uncovered how the innate immune system in mice's brains fights viral infection of neurons. The findings, published as the cover study in the latest issue of Virology, show that proteins in neurons fight the virus at multiple stages--by preventing the formation of viral RNA and proteins, and blocking the virus' release, which could infect other cells in the brai...New Insights Into HIV Immunity Suggest Alternative Approach to Vaccines
New insights by Duke University Medical Center researchers as to how HIV evades the human immune system may offer a new approach for developing HIV vaccines. The findings suggest some HIV vaccines may have failed because they induce a class of antibodies that a patient's own immune system is programmed to destroy. The Duke team discovered that certain broadly protective antibodies, which...NYU study reveals how brain's immune system fights viral encephalitis

Using their novel bio-bar-code amplification (BCA) technology, researchers analyzing fluid from around the brain and spinal cord have detected a protein linked in recent studies to Alzheimer's disease. Gold nanoparticles and bio-bar codes bring sen...Newly Discovered 'Branding' Process Helps Immune System Cells Pick Their Fights
Scientists have uncovered a new method the immune system uses to label foreign invaders as targets to be attacked. Researchers showed that the immune system can brand foreign proteins by chemically modifying their structure, and that these modifications increased the chances that cells known as lymphocytes would recognize the trespassers and attack them. "Now that we know that some T cells...HTS at Biology Products

Screening for antibodies directed against...Mix-and-Read, Bead- and Cell-Based Immunoassays Using the FMAT 8100 HTS System
Immunoassays are valuable and widely used tools in the biological sciences. In drug discovery research, immunoassays are used to measure secreted cytokines in the tissue culture supernatants of treated cells. However, scientists often avoid immunoassays in high throughput screening (HTS) because they require cumbersome manipulations. Applied B...Kelly Carter-Allen and Loraine Upham PerkinElmer Life Sciences, Inc. technology is a highly sensitive, non-isotopic homogenous assay method developed for assay development and high throughput screening applications.
