The Utility of Epitope Tags in Western Blot and Immunoprecipitations

Epitope tags can be used for labeling and detection of proteins in immunoassays, and are especially useful when studying newly discovered proteins to which antibodies are not yet available, proteins that generate a poor immune response, or low abundance proteins.

Spatial Imaging as a Tool for Discovery of New Candidates to Better Predict Response to Immunotherapies

Multiplexing spatial imaging technologies can be used to maximize the amount of data collected in the tumor microenvironment (TME), thereby answering more questions from fewer samples.

Fluorophore Considerations for Multi-Channel Imaging

By understanding the antibodies, fluorophores, sample types, and imaging instrumentation used to generate your data, you will be better equipped to design your immunofluorescence experiments and to get robust and reliable results.

Cell Culture Aseptic Technique

Contamination by microorganisms in your cell lines can disrupt your experiments. Even if you’ve been trained for cell culture in your lab, it’s a good idea to review your sterile tissue culture technique from time to time.

Co-IP Bait and Prey, and Other Applications of Immunoprecipitation(IP)

 In this Tech Tip, Sarah describes co-IP experimental design, the roles of the “bait” and “prey proteins, and the how immunoprecipitation can also be applied for the study of protein-nucleic acid interactions and post-translational modificiations.

Optimizing Fluorescent Multiplex Immunohistochemistry (mIHC)

The CST protocol for Fluorescent Multiplex Immunohistochemistry allows you to characterize 6 or more targets in one sample with flexible experimental design by employing a serial labeling strategy. In this video, Jen highlights five key protocol steps you can optimize to help get a balanced set of signals.
