When a person is infected with a coronavirus such as SARS-CoV2, the immune system produces antibodies against a component in the virus. In the case of COVID-19 infections, the SARS-CoV2 virus is made up of RNA surrounded by spike proteins. The spike proteins latch onto cells within the infected individual and the viral RNA replicates allowing the virus to spread and infect more cells. To combat the coronavirus, the immune system must recognize the spike proteins and begin producing antibodies in response.

The 2020 pandemic caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) continues to rage. While PCR-based assays are used for viral diagnosis, high through-put, rapid s...
COVID 19 has resulted in diverse research needs ranging from mechanism and impact of the disease, to solutions to identify, combat or treat the disease. Cellular technologies such as flow an...
Describe the different types of serological tests for detecting antibodies to the novel coronavirus. Explain the utility and limitations of serology testing in the management of the COVID-19...
Emerging infectious diseases” are those that are rapidly increasing in incidence or geographic range. Most are zoonotic, entering the human population from other animal species. None e...
Coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) is a global pandemic that has impacted the lives of the entire world’s population. Accurate and effective testing mechanisms to identify those with...
Since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, the development of diagnostics for both the virus (molecular) and the host immune response (serological) has become essential for monitoring the...
Neoantigen based personalized immuno-oncology drugs are a relatively new therapeutic avenue that have shown strong anti-tumor efficacy in the clinic. Neoantigen peptides have been widely rep...
While providing indispensable insight into immune processes, the live cell imaging of immune cells poses unique challenges due to their non-adherent nature. Suspension cells such as immune c...
Gene manipulation studies in primary human immune cells can answer important biological questions within a clinically relevant cellular context. In this webinar we explore the use of several...
A key step in the clinical production of CAR T cells is the expansion of engineered T cells. To generate enough cells for viable adoptive cell therapy, cells must be robustly stimulated, whi...
Immune checkpoint blockade has revolutionized the treatment for patients with cancer. Great efforts remain to better understand resistant mechanisms to treatment as well as means to improve...
Cancer initiation and virulence depends on mechanisms to evade host immunosurveillance and suppression of early invasion and growth. Distinct phenotypes of the immune infiltrates in and arou...
Immune checkpoint therapies targeting the CTLA-4 and PD-(L)1 pathways have been largely clinically disappointing for patients with prostate cancer. This can be attributed to the highly immun...
1. Identify 3 barriers to immune cell response to cancer 2. List 3 approaches to overcome immunosuppressive barriers to bolster the immune response to cancer 3. Explain how fusion proteins c...
One of the main challenges in cancer immunotherapy is the resistance to I-O therapies. Primary resistance can occur before treatment and acquired resistance can occur in patients who respond...
