IMMUNOLOGY: Detection of functional antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 nucleoprotein

The humoral immune response to SARS-CoV-2 results in antibodies against spike (S) and nucleoprotein (N). However, whilst there are widely available neutralization assays for S antibodies, there is no assay for N-antibody activity. In this webinar, hear from Dr. Anna Albecka-Moreau, Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology, who will highlight the potential benefits of N-based vaccines and outline an in vitro assay that enables the antibodies they induce to be tested.

Catch up on these 5 on-demand webinars:

  • Performance of immunotyping (IT) versus immunofixation (IF) for the detection of monoclonal gammopathies: In this webinar, Dr. Katie Thoren discusses a recent study comparing the performance of immunotyping and immunofixation for the detection of M-proteins. Thoren demonstrates that reviewer training and experience are critical to the correct interpretation of IT results and that the analytical and clinical sensitivity is similar to IF for the detection of M-proteins.Watch here»
  • Novel technology in non-invasive 3D ex vivo imaging and cultivation platforms: In this webinar, learn about novel 3D imaging platforms that demonstrate robust and versatile technology useful for studying multiple disease/therapeutic areas, including cancer and regenerative medicine, and explore how infrared label-free technology facilitates imaging of 3D structures/organoids as a complementary platform for preclinical (animal-based) drug profiling.

Cell Adhesion AssaysCell adhesion assays are used to quantitate attachment and analyze the molecular mechanisms for extracellular matrix adhesion, cell migration and sensitivity to inhibitors. Find the best cell adhesion assay equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.ProteomicsProteomics is the systemic bioinformatics study of proteins and amino acids, including their structure, size, function and identification. Tools used in proteomics include chromatography, blotting and gels, protein arrays, mass spectrometry and ELISA and associated analysis software. Analyzers and proteomic systems should be sensitive, high resolution, fast and may be automated for high-throughput.MicrobiologyMicrobiology is the study of microorganisms including protists, prokaryotes, fungi, and, often, viruses. Microorganisms are a useful research tool as genetic vectors and, in immunology, for antibiotic susceptibility testing, cellular biology and genetics. Microorganisms commonly grow readily in incubators with microbial culture media; this can contain chromogenic supplements to differentiate between cell lines. Estimate your culture’s density of microorganisms with colony counters, or screen and select colonies for desirable clones with automated colony pickers.
