Choosing Your Immunoassay: ELISA vs. ELISpot

What is an ELISA assay? An ELISA is a plate-based immunoassay used to detect and quantify specific proteins in liquid samples such as serum, plasma, or cell culture supernatants. ELISAs translate antibody–target binding into a measurable signal using an enzyme “reporter” that generates a colour change or a chemiluminescent/fluorescent readout. In most ELISA formats, the […]
Discover Ways to Support Patients’ Health & Longevity Using Virax Biolab’s Advanced Immunology Solutions

Protective immunity is about more than just an initial immune response; in fact, its also about how patients’ may respond to an infectious agent over time, stay protected, and fight of re-infection or reactivation of disease. Here at Virax Biolabs, we specialize in levegraging cutting-edge molecular techniques to help you explore patient immune landscapes. Our […]
The Power of Peptides For Superior T Cell Stimulation

T cell stimulation assays play an important role in modern immunology research. Not only are they useful tools in infectious disease and cancer immunotherapy studies, but they’re also critical aspects in various vaccine and drug development pipelines. Assays such as ELISpot, FluoroSpot and intracellular cytokine staining (ICS) are cornerstones of this effort, allowing researchers the […]

Major New Study Reveals Immunological Insights Into ME/CFS, Further Supporting Blood-based Diagnostic Testing and Research

Myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME/CFS), also known as chronic fatigue syndrome, is a complex condition characterized by post-exertional fatigue and a range of neuroimmune symptoms. It is one of several debilitating conditions that fall under the diagnostic umbrella of post-acute infection syndrome (PAIS) due to its association with an incomplete recovery from viral disease. ME/CFS often […]

The Immune System and the Role of T Cells

By Dr Clément Monteil When the human body encounters an external infection such as a virus, bacteria or parasite, it activates a complex and coordinated defence mechanism to identify, target and eliminate the invading pathogen. This response is managed by the immune system, an elaborate network consisting of cells, organs, and molecules, designed to protect […]
