Coronavirus Antigen Array

To address the need for multiplex serological assays, Sino Biological debuts its very first product of the brand new Sinommune™ collection, the CoVAM coronavirus antigen array. The product is designed for HTP serologic surveillance studies of SARS-CoV-2, SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, common coronavirus, and other viruses that can cause upper respiratory infection.

Developing new ultra-sensitive assays for viral detection and host response

Ultra-sensitive assay development capabilities provide the flexibility for researchers to develop singleplex and multiplex custom assays. Viral protein detection with PCR-level sensitivity with the speed and convenience of immunoassays. Serological assays for characterizing host immune response, surveillance and vaccine development. Direct detection of nucleic acids to enable measurement of pathogen DNA and host miRNA biomarker levels without extraction or amplification.

Reasearching Advancements in Cancer Vaccine

Cancer vaccines can be used either in the prevention or the treatment of cancer. A type of immunotherapy currently being investigated is therapeutic cancer vaccination; which is being tested as a potential novel treatment for cancer. Thus, therapeutic cancer vaccines will be the focus of this article.

	A high salt intake impairs immune response, study suggests A study has shown that a high salt intake inhibits the immune system’s ability to combat bacteria. The researchers found that when they fed mice a diet that was rich in salt, the animals developed significantly more severe bacterial infections than when the diet was not rich in salt.
