Viral Lysates for Diagnostic Research
We’ve recently expanded our range of native viral cell lysates to complement our highly pure recombinant antigens. Here, we explain how our lysates are made and their uses in infectious disease R&D. What are viral lysates? Put simply, viral lysates are...
Cellular Receptors for Viral Entry
The most crucial step for viruses during human infection is recognition and entry into host cells. For this to happen, specific proteins on the virus capsid interact with those on the host cells’ surface, through a ‘lock-and-key’-type mechanism that...
Using Adenoviruses to Fight Cancer
In the second of a 2-part series, we discuss how adenoviruses are being developed to treat cancer and some of the hurdles these platforms face from our own immune systems. Curing cancer is one of the biggest challenges of the 21st century. Our knowledge of cancer’s...
