NCI Researchers Confirm the Effectiveness of Immunotherapy Approach to Treating Melanoma

A team of researchers, led by Steven A. Rosenberg, M.D., at the National Cancer Institute, part of the National Institutes of Health, have found that patients with advanced melanoma who had not responded to previous therapies experienced a significant reduction in the size of their cancers as a result of receiving a new immunotherapy. This immunotherapy consisted of a combination of chemotherapy...

Chemical guidance of T cells leads to immunologic memory and long-term immunity

In the latest issue of the journal Nature, scientists at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) describe a new understanding about how long-term immunity works--findings that may lead to new ways of thinking about how to enhance certain immune responses and how to improve vaccines. Led by immunologist Ronald Germain, M.D...

Immune cell communication key to hunting viruses, Jefferson immunologists show

Immunologists at the Kimmel Cancer Center at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia have used nanotechnology to create a novel "biosensor" to solve in part a perplexing problem in immunology: how immune system cells called killer T-cells hunt down invading viruses. They found that surprisingly little virus can turn on the killer T-cells, thanks to some complicated communication amon...

Catch & Release v2.0 High Throughput (HT) Immunoprecipitation Assay Kit- 96 well from Upstate

Description:This kit allows for quick and reproducible immunoprecipitation (IP) by using a 96 well filter plate. The system is more reproducible than regular IPs, which are problematic with regards to washing the protein A/G agarose without disrupting the agarose bed. The binding of the antibody/antigen complex in Catch and Release is reversible, and elution of the immune complex can occur with native or den...

Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) Immunofluorescence Assay Kit from AbD Serotec

Description:Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) is an intracellular marker normally present at high levels in cortical thymocytes and minor subpopulation of bone marrow prelymphocytes. Elevated levels of the enzyme and increased numbers of TdT cells are found to be associated with some lymphoblastic leukaemias and lymphomas. Presence of TdT thus provides a useful adjunct in the differentiation of leu...
