Vector Laboratories’ blog provides a wealth of information on immunohistochemistry (IHC), immunofluorescence (IF), and related life science research topics.
In the previous section, we discussed the methods of bioconjugation. And the marriage of a biomolecule and a small molecule has given rise to various modalities commonly used in biomedical research. Here, we focus on... Read more
With knowledge of the applications that bioconjugation can play into, we finish by highlighting its key advantages and critical uses. While the applications are much broader than what we summarize here, we can deduce common... Read more
The body’s autoimmune response has been leveraged by cancer researchers to propel immunotherapy tools into clinical use. Although the main focus has been on the ability of T-cells to fight cancer cells, the involvement of... Read more
Multiplexing has revolutionized immunostaining workflows. It allows the simultaneous detection of multiple targets in the same tissue section and empowers scientists to gather more data while sparing precious samples. But issues with cross-reactivity between reagents... Read more

Antibodies are the epitome of simple yet powerful science tools. Made of just 4 peptides, they never cease to help scientists unravel the intricacies of the microscopic world
Creating a product that stands out and addresses the needs of scientists requires ingenuity, persistence, and a lot of testing; our new product, VectaPlex™ Antibody Removal Kit, is no exception. We sat down with Senior Scientist... Read more
Observation is one of the fundamental steps in the scientific method. However, for centuries the scientific study of tissues was limited to observations of dissections with the unaided eye. It was not until the mid-19th... Read more
Multiplexing, a powerful technique that allows the visualization of multiple biomarkers within a single sample, has revolutionized the field by offering researchers valuable insights into the spatial context of complex cellular processes and interactions. By... Read more
Avidin-Biotin Complex, or ABC-based detection, is one of the most widely used methods for staining. This method exploits the high affinity exhibited between the protein avidin and the vitamin biotin forming large macromolecular complexes containing... Read more
