Common Flow Cytometry Buffers

Abstract: Cells in flow cytometry experiments are processed as single cell suspension, following surface marker staining or intracellular target staining for further analysis or sorting through fixation and permeabilization. Important roles of flow cytometry buffers for sample preparation include protection of antigenic epitopes, ensuing antibody-target binding and reduced interference of background signal. Thus, selection of …

Flow Cytometry Antibody Titration Protocol

Abstract: Determination of suitable antibody concentration is an important problem in immunophenotype. Excessive or insufficient staining reagents can cause increased non-specific staining and experimental cost, and decreased signal noise ratio. The titration process effectively analyzes the positive background signal with the minimum antibody content saturating all binding sites. The evaluation of antibody performance in the …

Bcl-2 Detection in Western Blotting

Abstract: Bcl-2(B-Cell Leukemia/Lymphoma 2) is the key anti-apoptotic protein, and can maintain cell survival via inhibiting apoptosis. Bcl-2 family includes over 20 kinds of anti-apoptotic and pro-apoptotic proteins. Overexpression of Bcl-2 is closely related to the development and resistance to medical therapy of various cancers. Important roles of Bcl-2 in cancer research and cells show …

Role of Chemokines in Cancer Treatment

Abstract:   Chemokines consist of over 50 kinds of polypeptides. Their roles in immune response and cancer treatment are very important. They coordinate the recruitment of immune cells, spatial distribution in the tissue and interaction. Chemokines include four types: CXC(α subfamily), CC(β subfamily), XC(γ subfamily) and CX3C(δ subfamily). Multiple roles of chemokines and their pathways in …

Multicolor Flow Cytometry Panel Design

Abstract:   Panel design plays an important role in flow cytometry and determines the quality of experimental results. The accuracy of experimental results is affected by cell surface antigen, antibody selection, fluorochrome labelling and reagent combination. With the technical development, modern flow cytometers can synchronously detect over 40 parameters and analyse more complex problems. Proper panel …

Macrophage Markers for Flow Cytometry

Abstract: Macrophages are immune cells widely distributed in various human tissues, and play an important role in tumor immunity and critical illness. As the component of mononuclear phagocyte system, macrophages are mainly responsible for phagocytizing dead cells, cell debris, pathogen and other foreign substances. Besides, roles of macrophage markers in signal transduction and regulation are …

Role of GLP-1 in Blood Sugar Control

Abstract: GLP-1 is the hormone secreted by intestinal L cell. Food intake can activate GLP-1 receptor to regulate blood sugar level. GLP-1 decreases blood sugar via reducing the secretion of glucagon and promoting islet β cell to secrete insulin. Besides, GLP-1 helps the proliferation and protection of islet β cell. However, GLP-1 is rapidly hydrolyzed …

Causes and Prevention of Hypertension

Abstract: Hypertension refers to long-term higher arterial blood pressure. The consistent blood pressure reading of 130/80 or 140/90 mmHg may be hypertension. Essential and secondary hypertension are the two types, 90%-95% of which is essential hypertension with unknown etiology, possibly induced by the interaction of genetic and environmental factors. Secondary hypertension(5%-10%) is caused by some …
