THERAPEUTIC ANTIBODIES: Advancing the development of COVID-19 neutralizing antibodies
In this article, we speak with Kevin Entzminger, Director of Antibody Discovery and Engineering at Abwiz Bio, to learn more about how virus-neutralizing antibodies have proven to be a key tool in the fight against SARS-CoV-2, the advantages of using Octet in this work, and why science communication and collaboration between researchers is so important.
ANTIVIRAL THERAPIES: Rapid and real-time results for the study of viral biology
In this video, Dr. Rebecca Dubois, University of California, outlines the advantages of using Sartorius' Octet® platform in her research to understand the molecular mechanisms of human viral infection and to develop new vaccines and antiviral therapies.
WESTERN BLOT: Automated protein quantification for Ebola vaccine development
In this application note, find out how protein detection and quantification can be streamlined for vaccine development, for Ebola and other diseases, with Simple Western instrumentation.
COVID-19: Recent developments in COVID-19 virology research
In this application note, Sartorius presents a series of four articles, demonstrating the immune response to SARS-CoV-2 at a molecular level and its importance to the development of effective vaccines, treatments, and prognostic tests.
HUMAN LEUKOCYTE ANTIGEN: Identifying COVID-19 severity via HLA-types
In this article, PromoCell explores the potential of HLA-type to be used to identify individuals at greater risk from SARS-CoV-2 infection, explain differences in the epidemic trend in different countries, and also help in the development of novel vaccines.
GENE EXPRESSION: Studying the molecular mechanism of viral replication in real time
In this application note, BMG LABTECH describes a method to analyze viral gene expression in near real time using fluorescence as a proxy for infection.
CELL VIABILITY: Precise and reproducible automated cell seeding
In this application note, INTEGRA Biosciences demonstrates how cell viability, avoidance of contamination, high experimental reproducibility, and accuracy can be mastered by utilizing the VIAFLO 96 and VIAFLO 384 handheld electronic pipettes.
