Unconventional T Cells in COVID-19 Patients Predicts Disease Outcome
While most people infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus experience relatively mild symptoms, some patients mount an aberrant inflammatory response that can damage the lungs and cause acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), potentially resulting in the patient's death. More...17 Sep 2020

New Gold and Copper Nanoshell-Enhanced Immunoblotting Technique Makes POC Diagnosis of Tuberculosis Easier
A team of researchers have developed a straightforward and naked-eye-sensitive nanoshell-enhanced immunoblotting technique to detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) antigen 85B (Ag85B). More...09 Sep 2020


Specificity of Rheumatoid Factor Detected by Latex Fixation Compared
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory and autoimmune disorder that can affect more than just the joints. In some people, the condition can damage a wide variety of body systems, including the skin, eyes, lungs, heart and blood vessels. More...02 Sep 2020


Cancer-Associated T Cell Receptors Evaluated for Malignancy Detection
A key goal in oncology is diagnosing cancer early, when it is more treatable. Despite decades of progress, early diagnosis of asymptomatic patients remains a major challenge. Most methods for this involve detecting cancer cells, but a different approach, focused on the body’s immune response. More...31 Aug 2020

Hodgkin Lymphoma Therapy Response Linked to T-Cell Receptor Repertoire
Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is a type of lymphoma in which cancer originates from a specific type of white blood cells called lymphocytes. Symptoms may include fever, night sweats, and weight loss. Often there will be non-painful enlarged lymph nodes in the neck, under the arm, or in the groin. More...27 Aug 2020
