AbFlex® antibodies from our partner company Active Motif are recombinant antibodies (rAbs) that have been generated using defined DNA sequences to produce highly specific, reproducible antibodies. Each AbFlex® antibody contains a sortase recognition motif (LPXTG), a 6xHis Tag, and a Biotin...

The enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISpot) assay is a highly sensitive method for quantification of the number of cells secreting cytokines, immunoglobulins, or other target proteins. Simultaneous detection of more than one isotype is possible in fluorescent FluoroSpot assays. The ELISpot assay captures the presence of cytokines immediately after secretion, in contrast to measurements that are skewed by receptor binding or protease degradation.  With detection levels as low as one cell in 250,000, ELIS...

ION Biosciences is focused on producing a new generation of enhanced fluorescent indicators and assays for ion channel and ion transporter-focused basic and translational research. ION's Brilliant Assays are a no-wash total assay solution for multi-wellplate-based, high-throughput measurements of intracellular ion changes.  

Gliomas are one of the most aggressive and lethal solid tumors of the central nervous system. Despite the alarming numbers, the molecular pathogenetic mechanisms of gliomas are not yet fully elucidated. Our partner Atlas Antibodies provides a portfolio of PrecisA Monoclonals t...

Which mutations in SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus cause the higher transmissibility of novel virus variants of concern (VoC)? Our recombinant SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins help in the study of novel mutations and their effects. In all RNA viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, mutations occur frequently due to the high error rate of RNA polymerases, often without phenotypic impact. New variants of the virus (variant of interest VoI or variant of concern VoC) are said to occur when these mu...

Sequence and structure of the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 are well understood and appropriate targets for vaccines and therapeutics have been defined. Specific recombinant antibodies against these target proteins are an important tool for further research into the mode of action of the virus and the diverse clinical picture of COVID-19 as well as for drug and diagnostica development. With the help of our partners, we are able to offer you a wide range of specific antibodies and antibody fragments against various relevant SARS-CoV-2 antigens.

Interferons (IFNs) are low molecular weight proteins belonging to the class of glycoproteins known as cytokines. IFNs are part of the non-specific immune system and are an important first line of defense against viral infections. They are released by host cells in response to the presence of pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, parasites or tumor cells. IFNs have other functions: they acti...

Phagocytosis is the process of extinction and decomposition of microorganisms (e.g. extracellular bacteria) by specialised cells of the immune system. Phagocytosis is fundamental to innate human immunity. Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophilic granulocytes), macrophages and dendritic cells are the effector cells in the process of phagocytosis. Phagocytosis is preceded by chemotactic migration of the phagocytes (mainly neutrophilic granulocytes) into the site of inflammation. The foreign particles are then recogni...
