How To Optimize Your Immunohistochemistry ExperimentProteintech Group
Immunohistochemistry allows the visualization of proteins in tissue while retaining its microstructure. This guide includes general protocols, technical tips and troubleshooting.
Immunochemistry is the identification of a certain antigen in a histological tissue section or cytological preparation via an antibody specific to the antigen
In 1981 a new generation of immunohistochemical methods emerged with the advent of the avidin-biotin methods, which remains widely used today .All avidin-biotin methods rely on the strong affinity of avidin or streptavidin for the vitamin biotin.
The two most common for amplifying the target antigen signal in IHC are called avidin-biotin complex (ABC) and labeled streptavidin binding (LSAB)
Applications for which the avidin-biotin interaction is used include:
Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)
Immunohistochemistry (IHC)
Western, Northern and Southern blotting
Immunoprecipitation
Cell-surface labeling
Affinity purification
Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS)
Electromobility shift assays (EMSA)

How to Overcome all of your Problems with Secondary Antibodies
The latest Innova Biosciences webinar focuses on how to overcome the problems of using secondary antibodies. For instance, the use of secondary antibodies:
• Requires a series of incubations and wash steps that are both tedious and time consuming. It is amazing how many times people state how much they hate those wash steps!
• Can often be a source of non-specific staining within experiments which make data interpretation difficult or even impossible.
• Multi-colour analysis often results in cross species re-activity.
Secondary antibodies are generally used either because there are no directly labeled primary antibodies or to increase sensitivity. In this seminar, we will review:
• How labeling of your own antibodies overcomes the need for secondary antibodies.
• How easy it really is to label an antibody using Innova's 30 seconds hands-on antibody labeling kits and design your own unique research tools.
• Application data such as flow cytometry and western blotting generated using directly labeled antibodies
• And question the hypothesis of secondary vs. primary labeled antibodies.

Antibody purification – what you need to know to use antibodies effectivelyExpedeon
In this webinar Dr Andy Lane discusses the various methods available for purifying antibodies from different sources, and explains why it is vitally important to understand how your antibodies have been purified to know what you can do with them, either within assays or for further processing such as conjugation to dyes and enzymes.
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is the localization of a known antigen in tissues by utilizing antibodies directed towards that (specific) antigen. In this presentation, we will introduce the procedure of IHC and the troubleshooting solutions.
Elisa - an introduction to the basic principles and assay formats presentationExpedeon
- Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay;
- Immunoassay utilising antibodies linked to enzymes for detection by colour change;
- Evolved from RIA in the 1960s;
- Antibody or analytebeing detected is absorbed to a solid surface, meaning unbound materials can be washed away with ease;
- With time, more techniques were developed and ELISA is now used to describe any assay where a molecule is absorbed on a solid phase.
ELISA is a well know term that is an abbreviation of Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay. This microplate based technique relies on the use of an antibody that has been linked to an enzyme. In the presence of an appropriate substrate, enzymatic activity produces a color change as the ELISA readout, which can be measured and provides information about the presence and quantity of the target antigen in the sample material.
Electrophoresis is a simple, rapid, and highly sensitive analytical technique to study the properties of proteins and nucleic acids, and has become a principle tool in analytical chemistry, biochemistry, and molecular biology. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) can be used to analyze the size, amount, purity, and isoelectric point of polypeptides and proteins. Sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide discontinuous gel electrophoresis (SDS PAGE) is the most commonly used system whereby proteins become separated strictly by their size, but there are different variations of this technique.
Antibody-oligonucleotide (Ab-Oligo) conjugates have been used in
numerous applications from diagnostics to therapeutics and were
developed through an unmet need for precise and efficient detection of low-abundance proteins. Ab-Oligo conjugates have since played a significant role in enhancing an extensive range of biological techniques that include immunological and proteomic research, biomarker discovery, clinical diagnostics – including point-of-care, as well as other novel techniques. Antibodies can be readily conjugated to oligonucleotides via their amino acid residues, making them suitable for most in vitro applications, as they possess several functional groups.
His Tag Protein Production and PurificationExpedeon
The study of protein regulation, structure, and function relies heavily on the expression and purification of recombinant proteins. Many recombinant proteins are expressed as fusion proteins, meaning that they contain an affinity / epitope tag. A tag is a short sequence of DNA that codes for a specific amino acid, which is frequently inserted into a target gene at the point of coding for expression at either the N or C terminal of the protein required.
GELFrEE® 8100 Fractionation System Tech NoteExpedeon
Successful sample preparation is a key step during any analytical
procedure and begins with a defined experimental design. Important steps in sample preparation include proteolytic digestion of proteins into peptide fragments, and peptide fractionation. This is especially important prior to applications such as mass spectrometry (MS).

Proteomics of small proteins from plant tissuesExpedeon
Small genes and the proteins that they encode can play important biological roles including signaling, development, and mediation of plant-microbe interactions in organisms ranging from bacteria to plants to mammals (Frith et al.; Basrai et al.; Galindo et al.; Hemm et al. 2008, 2010; Kastenmeyer et al.). However, genes that encode proteins containing <100 residues are difficult to identify reliably solely by DNA sequence analysis (Dinger et al.)
Proteomic profiling of fractionated post-myocardial infarctionExpedeon
Acute myocardial infarction remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide.Heart failure is the result of adverse remodeling of the collagenous scar that replaces the
damaged myocardium after MI. Markers of LV remodeling can be either identified in the circulation (e.g. serum or plasma) or detected in the heart by imaging technologies or biopsy.
NVoy technology is a quantum leap in protein processing, production and analysis. It uses proprietary NV polymers to enhance protein solubility and stability through the formation of multi-point reversible complexes with proteins without altering their structure.
Circular dichroism spectroscopy is an analytical technique used to estimate the secondary and tertiary structure of proteins. This technique can be used to confirm whether structure has been retained during protein processing, but is frequently adversely affected by additives such as solubility enhancers and detergents.
NVoy technology is a quantum leap in protein processing, production and analysis. It uses proprietary NV polymers to enhance protein solubility and stability through the formation of multi-point reversible complexes with proteins without altering their structure.
Protein processing and production is often hampered by the formation of aggregates that restrict and complicate
the handling of proteins, antibodies and enzymes. NVoy is designed to minimise the sequential losses in consecutive
protein processing steps which would otherwise dramatically reduce the overall protein yield.

GELFrEE1 affords rapid mass-based protein separation over a range 10-150 kDa. Here, we demonstrate a multiplexed design enabling increased loading capacity and throughput. We
demonstrate comprehensive analysis of the yeast proteome using GELFrEE coupled to LC-MS/MS analysis.
Identification and characterization of intact proteins in complex mixturesExpedeon
The ability to fully characterize proteins in their intact forms allows thorough biological investigation of the functional importance of changes such as post-translational modifications, protein isoforms/sequence variations, and protease cleavages.
Improved coverage of the proteome using gel eluted liquidExpedeon
It has long been understood that sample fractionation is critically important to generating quality, comprehensive proteomics data. In spite of the continual improvements in speed and sensitivity of mass spectrometers, these instruments are still unable to adequately overcome the enormous challenge
of most biological samples without multiple dimensions of separation prior to mass analysis.
Optimization of experimental protocols for cellular lysisExpedeon
In this project, we have compared existing sample preparation methods for proteomics studies against newly developed FASP method and our in-house developed SDS-TCA protocol. For our
preliminary studies, we have chosen a very well characterized soil microbe Pseudomonas putida.

Antibodies represent an important class of proteins due to their central role in the immune response. Moreover, there is an increasing interest in the use of recombinant antibodies as novel drug therapies.
Cancer cell metabolism: special Reference to Lactate PathwayAADYARAJPANDEY1
Normal Cell Metabolism:
Cellular respiration describes the series of steps that cells use to break down sugar and other chemicals to get the energy we need to function.
Energy is stored in the bonds of glucose and when glucose is broken down, much of that energy is released.
Cell utilize energy in the form of ATP.
The first step of respiration is called glycolysis. In a series of steps, glycolysis breaks glucose into two smaller molecules - a chemical called pyruvate. A small amount of ATP is formed during this process.
Most healthy cells continue the breakdown in a second process, called the Kreb's cycle. The Kreb's cycle allows cells to “burn” the pyruvates made in glycolysis to get more ATP.
The last step in the breakdown of glucose is called oxidative phosphorylation (Ox-Phos).
It takes place in specialized cell structures called mitochondria. This process produces a large amount of ATP. Importantly, cells need oxygen to complete oxidative phosphorylation.
If a cell completes only glycolysis, only 2 molecules of ATP are made per glucose. However, if the cell completes the entire respiration process (glycolysis - Kreb's - oxidative phosphorylation), about 36 molecules of ATP are created, giving it much more energy to use.
IN CANCER CELL:
Unlike healthy cells that "burn" the entire molecule of sugar to capture a large amount of energy as ATP, cancer cells are wasteful.
Cancer cells only partially break down sugar molecules. They overuse the first step of respiration, glycolysis. They frequently do not complete the second step, oxidative phosphorylation.
This results in only 2 molecules of ATP per each glucose molecule instead of the 36 or so ATPs healthy cells gain. As a result, cancer cells need to use a lot more sugar molecules to get enough energy to survive.

introduction to WARBERG PHENOMENA:
WARBURG EFFECT Usually, cancer cells are highly glycolytic (glucose addiction) and take up more glucose than do normal cells from outside.
Otto Heinrich Warburg (; 8 October 1883 – 1 August 1970) In 1931 was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology for his "discovery of the nature and mode of action of the respiratory enzyme.
WARNBURG EFFECT : cancer cells under aerobic (well-oxygenated) conditions to metabolize glucose to lactate (aerobic glycolysis) is known as the Warburg effect. Warburg made the observation that tumor slices consume glucose and secrete lactate at a higher rate than normal tissues.
Nutraceutical market, scope and growth: Herbal drug technologyLokesh Patil
As consumer awareness of health and wellness rises, the nutraceutical market—which includes goods like functional meals, drinks, and dietary supplements that provide health advantages beyond basic nutrition—is growing significantly. As healthcare expenses rise, the population ages, and people want natural and preventative health solutions more and more, this industry is increasing quickly. Further driving market expansion are product formulation innovations and the use of cutting-edge technology for customized nutrition. With its worldwide reach, the nutraceutical industry is expected to keep growing and provide significant chances for research and investment in a number of categories, including vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and herbal supplements.
Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.
THE IMPORTANCE OF MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE SAMPLE RETURN.Sérgio Sacani
The return of a sample of near-surface atmosphere from Mars would facilitate answers to several first-order science questions surrounding the formation and evolution of the planet. One of the important aspects of terrestrial planet formation in general is the role that primary atmospheres played in influencing the chemistry and structure of the planets and their antecedents. Studies of the martian atmosphere can be used to investigate the role of a primary atmosphere in its history. Atmosphere samples would also inform our understanding of the near-surface chemistry of the planet, and ultimately the prospects for life. High-precision isotopic analyses of constituent gases are needed to address these questions, requiring that the analyses are made on returned samples rather than in situ.
Introduction:
RNA interference (RNAi) or Post-Transcriptional Gene Silencing (PTGS) is an important biological process for modulating eukaryotic gene expression.
It is highly conserved process of posttranscriptional gene silencing by which double stranded RNA (dsRNA) causes sequence-specific degradation of mRNA sequences.
dsRNA-induced gene silencing (RNAi) is reported in a wide range of eukaryotes ranging from worms, insects, mammals and plants.
This process mediates resistance to both endogenous parasitic and exogenous pathogenic nucleic acids, and regulates the expression of protein-coding genes.
What are small ncRNAs?
micro RNA (miRNA)
short interfering RNA (siRNA)
Properties of small non-coding RNA:
Involved in silencing mRNA transcripts.
Called “small” because they are usually only about 21-24 nucleotides long.
Synthesized by first cutting up longer precursor sequences (like the 61nt one that Lee discovered).
Silence an mRNA by base pairing with some sequence on the mRNA.
Discovery of siRNA?
The first small RNA:
In 1993 Rosalind Lee (Victor Ambros lab) was studying a non- coding gene in C. elegans, lin-4, that was involved in silencing of another gene, lin-14, at the appropriate time in the
development of the worm C. elegans.
Two small transcripts of lin-4 (22nt and 61nt) were found to be complementary to a sequence in the 3' UTR of lin-14.
Because lin-4 encoded no protein, she deduced that it must be these transcripts that are causing the silencing by RNA-RNA interactions.
Types of RNAi ( non coding RNA)
MiRNA
Length (23-25 nt)
Trans acting
Binds with target MRNA in mismatch
Translation inhibition
Si RNA
Length 21 nt.
Cis acting
Bind with target Mrna in perfect complementary sequence
Piwi-RNA
Length ; 25 to 36 nt.
Expressed in Germ Cells
Regulates trnasposomes activity
MECHANISM OF RNAI:
First the double-stranded RNA teams up with a protein complex named Dicer, which cuts the long RNA into short pieces.
Then another protein complex called RISC (RNA-induced silencing complex) discards one of the two RNA strands.
The RISC-docked, single-stranded RNA then pairs with the homologous mRNA and destroys it.
THE RISC COMPLEX:
RISC is large(>500kD) RNA multi- protein Binding complex which triggers MRNA degradation in response to MRNA
Unwinding of double stranded Si RNA by ATP independent Helicase
Active component of RISC is Ago proteins( ENDONUCLEASE) which cleave target MRNA.
DICER: endonuclease (RNase Family III)
Argonaute: Central Component of the RNA-Induced Silencing Complex (RISC)
One strand of the dsRNA produced by Dicer is retained in the RISC complex in association with Argonaute
ARGONAUTE PROTEIN :
1.PAZ(PIWI/Argonaute/ Zwille)- Recognition of target MRNA
2.PIWI (p-element induced wimpy Testis)- breaks Phosphodiester bond of mRNA.)RNAse H activity.
MiRNA:
The Double-stranded RNAs are naturally produced in eukaryotic cells during development, and they have a key role in regulating gene expression .
A brief information about the SCOP protein database used in bioinformatics.
The Structural Classification of Proteins (SCOP) database is a comprehensive and authoritative resource for the structural and evolutionary relationships of proteins. It provides a detailed and curated classification of protein structures, grouping them into families, superfamilies, and folds based on their structural and sequence similarities.
(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.
