Coronavirus Antigen Array

To address the need for multiplex serological assays, Sino Biological debuts its very first product of the brand new Sinommune™ collection, the CoVAM coronavirus antigen array. The product is designed for HTP serologic surveillance studies of SARS-CoV-2, SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, common coronavirus, and other viruses that can cause upper respiratory infection.

Developing new ultra-sensitive assays for viral detection and host response

Ultra-sensitive assay development capabilities provide the flexibility for researchers to develop singleplex and multiplex custom assays. Viral protein detection with PCR-level sensitivity with the speed and convenience of immunoassays. Serological assays for characterizing host immune response, surveillance and vaccine development. Direct detection of nucleic acids to enable measurement of pathogen DNA and host miRNA biomarker levels without extraction or amplification.

Reasearching Advancements in Cancer Vaccine

Cancer vaccines can be used either in the prevention or the treatment of cancer. A type of immunotherapy currently being investigated is therapeutic cancer vaccination; which is being tested as a potential novel treatment for cancer. Thus, therapeutic cancer vaccines will be the focus of this article.

	A high salt intake impairs immune response, study suggests A study has shown that a high salt intake inhibits the immune system’s ability to combat bacteria. The researchers found that when they fed mice a diet that was rich in salt, the animals developed significantly more severe bacterial infections than when the diet was not rich in salt.

	Immunotherapy may benefit mCRPC patients with specific markers of immune activation Although metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer typically has limited response to immunotherapy, a subset of patients with pretreatment evidence of active T-cell responses in their tumors experienced prolonged survival following treatment.

	Discovery of T cells response spectrum could new shed light on immune diseases The discovery that immune T cells have a spectrum of responsiveness could shed light on how our immune system responds to infections and cancer, and what goes wrong in immune diseases.

	Study shows how interactions between microbiome and the immune system contribute to liver disease A new study by researchers in the Quadram Institute has provided insights into how interactions between gut microbes and cells of the immune system contribute to cholestatic liver disease.
