Immunogens and Carrier Proteins What is an immunogen? An immunogen is a specific type of antigen that is able to elicit an immune response. Antibody development is dependent on a humoral immune response mediated by immune cells recognising a molecule
A Summary of ProSci’s Research on HIV – ProSci
ProSci’s roots lie in the research of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus and working to develop a neutralising vaccine against it. Below is an “abstract of abstracts” summarising the research performed over the last several years that has built their business
Why Are Antibodies Produced in the Body? – ProSci
Antibodies are produced in the body to serve 3 major purposes in the immune system: neutralisation, opsonisation, and complement protein activation. Each of these functions helps to protect the body from potentially harmful pathogens. Neutralisation Neutralisation occurs when the antibodies
Visualizing Cell Death Won’t Be Scary With MBLI Tunel Kit -MBL International
Programmed cell death is a selective process of physiological cell deletion. It plays a major role in developmental biology and in maintenance of homeostasis in vertebrates. For example, during maturation, T cells recognising self antigens are destroyed by programmed cell

What is a Pseudovirus? – ProSci Inc.
It has been two years since the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was identified as the cause of the pandemic and has only gotten more complex for scientists to study. Studies of
Monkeypox Virus: A breakthrough in Scientific News – ProSci Inc
Monkeypox’s genetic code is similar to smallpox so known vaccines & anti-viral treatments are effective in reducing its spread & physiological effects.
Highly Contagious Influenza Virus – ProSci Inc.
As of May 2022, a highly contagious influenza virus continues to wreak havoc on domestic bird flocks across the United States. Millions of chickens and other fowl are dying or being killed to stop the spread of an HPAI (highly
CRISPR/Cas9 technology by OZ Biosciences
“Genome editing” or “Genome engineering” gives the ability to introduce a variety of genetic alterations (deletion, insertion…) into mammalians cells. During the past decade, zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs) and transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs) were the tools of choice for
CELLvo Cells from StemBioSys
CELLvo™ cells from StemBioSys are the only cells isolated and expanded using StemBioSys’s CELLvo™ Matrix technology. By isolating cells on a cell-derived extracellular matrix (ECM), StemBiosys are able to preserve more natural phenotypes. Cells are always isolated from the best
