Immunology

Nigel McCracken from Virax Biolabs discusses the new frontier in immune diagnostics, which may hold the key to better patient care.

While antibiotics given in the first week of life reduce vaccine responses at 15 months, probiotics might counteract these effects.

Combining multiple vaccines may trigger stronger immune responses in fewer shots, potentially improving the efficacy of immunization programs.

Neutrophils in urine extrude their DNA to create large webs that catch and kill pathogens.

Immunizing mice with an edited Lyme disease-causing bacterial protein effectively protected them against the disease.

Alberto Ascherio and Stephen Hauser were recognized for their work uncovering the role of B cells and Epstein Barr virus in the disease.

Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) is a time tested, universal supplement used in cell culture. It provides many compounds that have been shown to satisfy specific metabolic requirements for the culture of cells, including hormones, growth factors, cell attachment factors, pH buffer, protease inhibitors, vitamins, minerals, lipids, and a variety of undefined components. Serum also protects against toxic effects associated with pH change, the presence of heavy metal ions, endotoxin, and proteolytic activity. Corning offers a wide variety of fetal bovine serum (FBS) options to satisfy multiple applications from cell culture research to complete bioprocess production. Our FBS is a perfect complement to our classical and custom cell culture media products. We draw on our fully integrated supply chain, comprehensive product offering, and manufacturing capabilities to help you produce consistent, reliable, and reproducible results.

A bold funding initiative aims to help scientists predict a T cell’s target antigens, with implications far beyond cancer therapy.

Cardiac macrophages in newborn mice promoted heart cell proliferation after injury, offering a potential approach to regenerate cardiac tissue in adults.
