Benchtop Cell Sorter Validated in Biosafety Containment Setting
Fluorescent-activated cell sorting (FACS) is often the most appropriate technique to obtain pure populations of a cell type of interest for downstream analysis. The ability to sort pure populations of immune cells is a critical tool for immunologists. More...27 Dec 2021

Tissue Counterpart to Monoclonal B-Cell Lymphocytosis Characterized
Monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis (MBL) was initially proposed to recognize patients with a monotypic B-cell population identified by peripheral blood (PB) flow cytometry (FC) that did not meet numerical criteria for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). More...27 Dec 2021

Causal Effects of Inflammatory Protein Biomarkers on Inflammatory Diseases
Inflammatory processes are associated with a large range of human diseases, including rheumatic diseases and allergies. The role of inflammation in the development and progression of disease is of great medical, scientific and public health interest. More...22 Dec 2021

Long-Term Storage Stability of Corticotropin Investigated
Corticotropin (adrenocorticotropic hormone, ACTH) is a 39-residue polypeptide tropic hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary gland following hypothalamic corticotropin-releasing hormone release. Corticotropin is notorious for its instability. More...20 Dec 2021


Pulmonary Eosinophilia Indicates Onset of Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis
Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is a pulmonary disorder caused by type 2 immune responses to Aspergillus. This pathology usually develops after the onset of bronchial asthma (BA) or cystic fibrosis. Rates differ among countries, but appear to be increasing around the world with the increase of BA. More...13 Dec 2021

Immunoprofiling HTLV-1 Blood Samples Show Altered Innate Cell Responsiveness
The Human T-cell Leukemia Virus-1 (HTLV-1)-Associated Myelopathy/Tropical Spastic Paraparesis (HAM/TSP) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by the demyelination of the middle-to-lower thoracic cord. More...09 Dec 2021
