How to screen SARS-CoV-2 peptides to facilitate T cell research
Whenever our immune system is faced with a challenge, be it a multicellular parasite, a bacteria, a virus, or even cancer, this threat is detected and sampled primarily by the protein sequence of the pathogen in question. Other aspects of
Interleukin-6 release in response to Coronavirus 19
Coronavirus 19 is known to infect the respiratory tract and cause mild or highly acute respiratory syndrome. A consequence of this is the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-6 (1). This hyperinflammatory response is thought to be
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
Revel the Mechanisms of Host Defense by Cross-regulation of Toll-like Receptor (TLR) Responses
A recent Nature Immunology paper describes the epigenetic landscape that results from the integration of the inflammatory cytokines type I interferons and TNF. This comprehensive epigenomics approach to the analysis of human macrophages showed that the proinflammatory cytokines TNF and type
New Immunometabolism brochure from BioVision
An emerging field of Immunometabolism involves investigating the interface between immunological and metabolic process. Immunometabolism topic underpins the events leading to diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular diseases and many other disease areas. BioVision is excited to announce the release of its very
IL-18 (Interleukin-18)
Background Interleukin 18 (IL-18) is a cytokine that has been found to be involved in many different biological processes. So what is a cytokine? A cytokine is protein that is secreted by certain cells and interacts/communicates between cells. And which
