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 […]
Virax Biolabs’ proprietary in-development diagnostic technology for post-acute infection syndromes (“PAIS”), such as Long COVID, positions the Company for an important data year ahead, following a series of recent clinical and operational milestones over the past 12 months.
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 […]
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 […]
“What if we could finally put real answers behind the brain fog, fatigue, and lingering symptoms so many patients still face post-COVID? In this episode, Dr. Nigel McCracken, Chief Operating Officer at Virax Biolabs, returns to Med Tech Gurus to reveal how their groundbreaking ViraxImmune platform is decoding the hidden dysfunctions of the immune system. With […]
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 […]
Diagnosing chronic, post-acute inflammatory conditions – like Long COVID – remains a persistent challenge for researchers and healthcare professionals alike12. The variable presentation of symptoms – along with the allusivity of an exact cause – make these conditions difficult to pin down in the clinic. Current diagnostic approaches rely on highly speculative patient questionnaires; […]
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 […]
