Human Tissues and Immunohistochemistry

The Human Protein Atlas presents the complete human proteome, a tissue-based map of all major tissues and organs in the human body. The polyclonal antibodies used for this research are available from Atlas Antibodies as Triple A Polyclonals.

Customizing Genetically Engineered Models for Specific Research Applications

Researchers face a number of challenges when trying to access suitable models for specific research applications. In this interview, Dr Philip Dubé discusses the importance of genetically modified models in preclinical studies and how the customizable aspect can advance immuno-oncology research.

Researchers find how skin cancer cells avoid attack by the immune system

Researchers at the Mainz University Medical Center discovered a new signal pathway employed by skin cancer cells to avoid attack by the immune system. In an animal model and through analysis of human tissue samples, Dr. Toszka Bohn, Dr. Steffen Rapp and Professor Tobias Bopp were able to demonstrate the significant role played by a specific protein called ICER.

	Liver immune cells contain inert HIV and are unlikely to reproduce infection, study reveals In a proof-of-principle study, researchers at Johns Hopkins revealed that certain immune system cells found in the human liver, called liver macrophages, contain only inert HIV and aren't likely to reproduce infection on their own in HIV-infected people on long-term antiretroviral therapy.

	New project launched to map out lung cancer immunology A 'rule book' to guide precision combination immunotherapies and to speed up the development of new lung cancer treatments will be created as part of a collaboration between Cancer Research UK, the Francis Crick Institute and Bristol-Myers Squibb, announced today (Friday).

	Subset of immune B cells delays onset of type 1 diabetes in animal model Researchers at the Baylor College of Medicine and the University of Michigan Medical School have conducted a study showing that a specific subset of immune B cells delays the onset of type 1 diabetes in mice.

	Sacrificial immune cells alert body to infection Researchers at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) have made an important new discovery about how the immune system handles infection. The finding could improve understanding of a range of diseases and lead to the development of more effective treatment approaches.

	Gut microbiome plays role in immune system regulation, study finds Scientist have long known that bacteria in the intestines, also known as the microbiome, perform a variety of useful functions for their hosts, such as breaking down dietary fiber in the digestive process and making vitamins K and B7.
