  • Weird Anti-Human TCR Alpha and Beta for Flow Cytometry

    Wednesday, December 20, 2023
    T Cell Receptor (TCR) is a key membrane protein expressed by T cells that is essential to make the interaction with target cells and especially their Class I HLA proteins. In case of mismatches between Class I HLA, T cells will be activated and will eliminate target cells considered as "non self". ... read more
  • Efficient Buffer to Lyse Red Blood Cells from PBMCs

    Wednesday, December 20, 2023
    When I receive fresh blood, I usually perform a separation to get only PBMCs for my experiments. But sometimes, a significant amount of red blood cells still remain and might impact my cell count but also my experiments due to my non precise cell count. So when this occurs, I just centrifuge my ... read more
  • Great Tool to Perform Electroporation

    Wednesday, December 20, 2023
    I perform a lot of electroporation experiments, especially with CRSIPR-Cas9 RiboNucleoProtein (RNP) complex. I use different cell lines to do so such as HEK, immortalized B cells but also primary T cells and iPSCs. Having a good viability after electroporation is essential with primary cells to be ... read more
  • Easy to Use and Efficient Material for Electroporation of Large Amount of Cells

    Wednesday, December 20, 2023
    Achieving good viability and efficiency for electroporation experiments is a great way to get better results for CRISPR-Cas9 genetic edition or plasmid transfection for example. Thanks to this kit, you can get a very high amount of well edited cells because you can load 5 million cells for each ... read more
  • Ficoll for Separation of Red Blood Cells and PBMCs

    Wednesday, December 20, 2023
    Efficient separation of PBMCs in fresh blood is essential to perform experiments in immunology for example. When I use this product, I put 12.5mL of this in a 50mL falcon and then I add the fresh blood drop by drop leaning the falcon. This step is not very easy to achieve properly so after ... read more
  • Efficient HLA-II Antibody for Flow Cytometry

    Tuesday, December 19, 2023
    Staining cells to quantify their HLA-II expression is essential in immunology because it is recognized by CD4 T cells. With this antibody, you can also know for example if a CRISPR-Cas9 experiment to knock-out HLA-II worked or not and also sort your HLA-II KO population As with every Biolegend ... read more
  • Efficient Anti-Human HLA-DR Antibody for Flow Cytometry

    Tuesday, December 19, 2023
    HLA-DR protein is part of the Class II HLA membrane protein. Those proteins are recognized by CD4 T cells and can be the origin of a rejection in case of cell therapy of graft for example. This antibody allows me to quantify the HLA-DR expression of my cell lines but can also be helpful to separate ... read more
  • Very Efficient Anti-Human HLA-I Antibody

    Tuesday, December 19, 2023
    Class I HLA proteins are key proteins studied in the field of Immunology. These proteins are recognized by CD8 T cells and lead to rejection of target cells if there are HLA-A, B and C mismatches between target cells and CD8 T cells of the recipient. You can use this to test if a Beta-2-... read more
  • Easy to Use MICA/MICB Antiboy for Flow Cytometry

    Tuesday, December 19, 2023
    MICA and MICB are membrane proteins that play a role in sending activating signals to NK cells. Depending on the cell type and also the state of the cells, these proteins may be more or less expressed at the membrane. With this product, you can easily quantify this expression. However, I found ... read more
  • Efficient Anti-Human HLA-E Antibody for Flow Cytometry

    Tuesday, December 19, 2023
    HLA-E proteins are essential membrane proteins in the field of Immunology. These proteins are great inhibitors of NK cells but are not expressed by all type of cells. I personally use this product for flow cytometry to know if my different cell lines express HLA-E but I also quantify the level of ... read more
