Search for dual action drugs against both HIV and Tuberculosis has lead to the creation of heterodimeric compounds with dual-targeting, which are active against both of these diseases.

Flow cytometry is widely used in scientific research and clinical diagnostic settings. With the continuous expansion of flow-based applications, there is an ever increasing need for batch sampling and automatic processing. 

Calcium (Ca2+) is an important secondary messenger and a key component of many cell processes. It is an extremely versatile molecule used by all cells for various signaling pathways, occurring during the activation of G-Protein coupled receptors.

To increase the immunosurveillance in HIV infection, we used retroviral vectors expressing CD4-chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) to genetically modify autologous T cells and redirect CTL toward HIV.

Join us at upcoming CYTO in Prague on April 29 – May 2 at booth #2. The meeting will include elements for scientists working in all areas of cytometry and at all career stages.

Regulatory testing for microbiological water quality is often conducted by growing microbes on agar medium in visible colonies. However, this is a time-consuming process and not all bacteria can grow in media and therefore be detected.

The immune system has evolved specialized cells which engulf and kill invading pathogens in a process known as phagocytosis. These cells, known as phagocytes, are essential for elimination of dangerous microorganisms as well as apoptotic bodies.
