FISH Method Developed for Analyzing Immune Response

Researchers have developed a method to analyze hundreds of thousands of cells at once using FISH-Flow for concurrent detection of mRNA and protein markers in single cells using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and flow cytometry. The new protocol currently evaluates immune responses and could lead to faster and more accurate diagnoses of illnesses, including tuberculosis (TB) and cancers. More...

Rapid Assay Monitors Influenza Virus Susceptibility

Early detection of drug-resistant influenza viruses is needed for timely modification of policies and recommendations on the use of antivirals. In many countries, neuraminidase (NA) inhibitor(s) are the medications of choice for treatment and prophylaxis of influenza infections, with oseltamivir being most commonly prescribed. More...
