In the tumor microenvironment (TME), cancer cells can evade detection by the immune system through hijacking of immunosuppresive signals such as PD-1 and IDO. Recent advances in immunotherapy have yielded successes, but additional biomarkers are needed that can predict which patients are likely to respond to treatment.

Enrichment of proteins by immunoprecipitation is used in a variety of applications and protocols. In this Tech Tip, Sarah goes over some of the basics of the immunoprecipitation technique, including native vs. denaturing IP protocols, and what to consider when choosing antibodies for your experiment.

We'll show you why antigen retrieval (AR) is important for immunohistochemistry (IHC). Antigen retrieval is required before incubating your tissue sample with antibodies, and can influence the strength of staining obtained in IHC. Watch for tips on how to set up Heat Induced Epitope Retrieval using a microwave.
