“Let’s Make America the Country That Cures Cancer Once and For All”
During the 2016 State of the Union Address, President Obama called attention to a myriad of issues currently plaguing Americans. One of the many initiatives President Obama announced in response was a “moonshot” to cure cancer, referencing the flood of
A Brief Introduction to PD-1 Antibodies and Immunotherapy
President Jimmy Carter’s cancer remission was wonderful news, but as some outlets [1] noted, it is important to understand that not all patients are responding as well to similar treatments, and that there is currently still no “cure” for cancer.
Blood Controls for Flow Cytometry
Routine haematological testing requires the use of reference material during machine set up such that validation prior to analysis of patient samples can be performed. Many also require repeat use of reference controls throughout the running period of the machine,
Cell Fixation and Permeabilistation Kit for Intracellular Staining
Intracellular staining of protein biomarkers using antibodies in flow cytometry has opened up a diversity of new options for phenotypic and functional characterisation of cells in both research and clinical diagnosis. Definitive phenotypic identification of certain cell types can require labelling
