Screening for COVID-19 T-Cell Peptides and Immune Monitoring with MHC Tetramers In A Single Assay
COVID-19 infected cells can be recognized by T-cells only after SARS-CoV-2 peptides are processed and presented in the context of self MHCs. Identifying these peptides have essential utilities: Immune monitoring: Using peptide-MHC tetramers to assess vaccine-induced immunity Designing potent vaccines
Coronavirus (COVID-19) Research Tools
Recently, scientists have discovered a novel strain of Coronavirus (COVID-19) that is more deadly than SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV combined. This has caused a massive viral outbreak globally, and due to the lack of information about this strain, there are limited
Clinically relevant Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Rapid advancements in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) research are shedding light on disease processes of musculoskeletal tissue, tissue regeneration, immune modulation and epigenetics. To further the understanding of MSCs disease mechanisms and therapeutic approaches, we offer Renovos research-grade mesenchymal stem

Fresh and Frozen LeukoPaks
Apheresis was first described over 100 years ago and has been used as a therapy for a number of different diseases, including sickle cell anemia and certain types of cancer. The use of apheresis as a method for isolating enriched
Protective role for IL-36 cytokines in obesity and metabolic disease
Interleukin-36α, β and γ (IL-36α, β and γ), members of the interleukin-1 (IL-1) family, are pro-inflammatory cytokines mainly involved in skin inflammatory diseases, but also in the inflammation of lung or gut. Recently, the lab of Prof. Patrick T. Walsh
