• Fc blockers to reduce background in Tetramer staining

  Fc blockers are needed for monocytes, macrophages, B cells and granulocytes. Since T cells normally do not express Fc receptors, some investigators do not use Fc blockers and instead use a dump channel (e.g. CD14/CD19) during flow cytometry analysis to exclude Fc-expressing populations.  Read more

• Which tetramers can be used for my mouse samples?

  Tue, 28 Aug 2018 17:00:00 GMTBy: nakajo.tomohiro@mbl.co.jp (Tomohiro Nakajo)

  The thymus shapes a host’s T-cell repertoire so they do not respond to “self” antigens, yet are able to recognize “non-self” antigen challenges (from pathogens and tumors). T cell participation in these immune responses are dependent on interaction with peptide- and self-MHC. In other words, T cells only recognize the peptides derived from cancers or pathogens if they are embedded in the cleft of self host MHC grooves. Such peptides are processed and presented on the surface of antigen-presenting cells (MHC class I and II in dendritic cells, macrophages, and B cells) or all nucleated cells (MHC class I) allowing T cells to identify infected or cancer cells. Direct detection of such Ag-specific T cells and functional analysis is important for understanding disease immunopathogenesis and the process of drug development. MBL International has had tremendous success in advancing the methodologies to accurately measure antigen-specific T cells.  Read more

• Learn why IL-18 is an exciting biomarker for various diseases

  Tue, 31 Jul 2018 17:00:00 GMTBy: nakajo.tomohiro@mbl.co.jp (Tomohiro Nakajo)

  As described in previous blog posts, our IL-18 related products are used widely among researchers around the world. IL-18 plays an important role in the cytokine network. Abnormal values of IL-18 are seen in various disease areas such as allergy or autoimmune diseases. 
  In this blog, we discuss two diseases correlated with IL-18. Neither of them are allergy or autoimmune diseases, but very interesting nonetheless. Read more
