Vector Laboratories is closed for the President’s Day on Monday, February 19th. We will be back in the office on Tuesday, February 20th.
We will respond to emails upon our return. Have a wonderful day.
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.
Abdelrahman “Abdel” Fouda officially launched his long-term academic career as an Assistant Professor at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (Little Rock, Arkansas) in the middle of July 2021. Since then, Abdel has been converting an empty lab with just the structural bare-bones basics, recruiting research technicians and postdoctoral fellows, preparing manuscripts based on past research, and writing grants to fund future projects.
The use of several promising drugs as treatments for autoimmune and inflammatory diseases has long been limited due to their toxic side effects. Wang et al. demonstrate how these barriers could be overcome with a novel antibody-drug conjugate.
Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest cancers, especially when diagnosed at a later stage because of the lack of accurate biomarkers. Linking these biomarkers to cellular modifications is a promising approach to improve tumor evaluation. In this blog article, we review a study that explores the role of N-glycan modifications in pancreatic tumors.
When it comes to IHC and IF a strong start is essential to great results. Explore our tips to help your sample preparation process.
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 Kristen, the youngest, who is working on her third year as a postdoc at Baylor College of Medicine (Houston, Texas).
