Lectins are powerful tools with many uses in glycobiology. Discover the ways you can use lectins in your research.
August Estabrook, a senior scientist at Vector Laboratories, came to love science starting in high school and at one point dreamed of opening a microbrewery. Now, August spends his days connecting the dots to develop leading proteomic and glycomic products.
Enhancing the signal-to-noise ratio is essential for obtaining viable data. Choosing the appropriate immunohistochemistry detection system can help.
Find out how two brilliant scientists are studying complex carbohydrate chains to fight cancer in this article about glycobiology and tumorigenesis.
We are back with more multiplex immunohistochemistry tips to help you discover how double- and triple-staining can move your research forward.
There are three Engevik sisters—Kristen, Amy, and Mindy—all of whom chose to pursue academic careers in the field of gastrointestinal research. Here we focus on Amy, the middle child, who just started her own research lab at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC).
Like many other companies around the world, Vector Laboratories has looked inward during the last 2 years and spent time reflecting on its future and place in the scientific community. Change brings opportunity, and we embraced this. Today, we are excited to introduce our new look to you. Learn more about our new look from CEO, Lisa V Sellers, PhD.
The parasitic sea lamprey has long remained the fishermen’s nightmare for harming fish in the Atlantic Ocean. However, their unique immune system could pave the way to substantial improvements in human glycome analysis. We review a study that demonstrates how lampreys generate antibodies that are specific for diverse glycans.
Interfering background signal, such as autofluorescence, which is fluorescence inherent or endogenous to tissue, cell, or due to certain fixatives, can hamper your ability to accurately distinguish real target antigen expression. In a recent webinar, Dr. Craig Pow discussed common causes of target signal interference, controls to help distinguish background noise from true signal, ways to reduce or eliminate autofluorescence, case studies of autofluorescence quenching, and tips to preserve immunofluorescent signal, such as through the use of Vector® TrueVIEW® Autoflurorescence Quenching Kit. You can watch the full on-demand webinar or keep reading for tips and tricks from the Q&A session.
Choosing the appropriate immunohistochemistry detection reagent can be a daunting task. Here are some considerations to guide you on your path to staining success.
