Single-domain antibodies, also known as nanobodies or VHH antibodies, are a unique class of antibody fragments derived from the immune systems of camelids, such as llamas and alpacas. These small yet robust molecules present significant advantages in various applications, from therapeutics to diagnostics. This article explores the process of single-domain antibody production, its benefits, and ...
In the rapidly evolving field of cellular biology and genetic engineering, the development of efficient and reliable cell lines is vital for research and therapeutic applications. One such advancement is the establishment of the Monkey DLL3 stable cell line using HEK293T cells. This article provides an overview of the significance of this cell line, its applications, and the methodology behind ...
Antibodies can often be used in multiple assays, but they do not perform equally well in all assays. This is particularly true for immunohistochemistry (IHC). IHC has now become an indispensable assay and is consistently performed in anatomic pathology to give specific diagnosis and subclassification of neoplasms. IHC is a complex assay, where the end result is influenced by a variety of ...
What are Biotinylation and Biotinylated PEG?Biotinylation is the process of covalently attaching biotin to molecules (such as amino acids, peptides, antibodies, or proteins). Due to the small molecular weight of biotin, biotinylation is usually rapid and specific and is unlikely to interfere with the inherent function of the molecule. Biotin has extremely high affinity, rapidity and high ...
Enzymes, nature's molecular architects, have been at the heart of industrial processes for decades. Today, the dynamic field of Enzyme Engineering and Modification is driving these biocatalysts towards unprecedented capabilities, triggering a wave of transformative applications across diverse sectors. Decoding Enzyme Engineering Enzyme Engineering stands as a cornerstone of modern ...
Cytokines represent a class of small protein molecules that exhibit diverse biological activities. These molecules are synthesized and secreted primarily by immune cells (including monocytes, macrophages, T cells, B cells, and NK cells) as well as certain non-immune cells (such as endothelial cells, epidermal cells, and fibroblasts) upon specific stimulation. Cytokines play pivotal roles in ...
Many HIV-1 envelope-based synthetic peptides behave as antigenic mimics of linear or conformational epitopes generated in vivo in infected subjects, meaning they can be used as immunogens for antibody induction in appropriate animal models or as antigens in Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). These peptides are linear or branched, single sequenced or multi-epitopic, mostly representative ...
