Single-Cell Analysis of T Cells – Improved Prediction of Disease Risk

Single-Cell analysis T-Cells Excellos Blog

The La Jolla researchers are studying how small changes in gene expression can influence the function of immune cells during infection. Single-cell analysis was performed on activated CD4+ T cells from 89 healthy donors. It turns out that the old adage of “one gene, one protein” is not precisely true. In reality, as research on […]

Stem Cell Transduction Efficiency – Managing Donor Variance

Managing Donor Variance in Stem Cell Transduction Efficiency

Gene therapy, and in particular, therapy involving genetically modified stem cells, is one of the most promising methods for treating genetic disease and defects, and has therefore become a popular focus of research and development. In recent years, using adenoviral vectors to deliver modified genes has become standard practice. Adeno-associated viruses (AVVs) are easy to […]

single-cell immune profiling reveals immune changes associated with COVID-19

Researchers at the La Jolla Institute for Immunology cite using Excellos sourced healthy donor starting material to carry out single-cell immune profiling for their research on severe COVID-19. [1] Great strides have been made in fighting the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the most noteworthy being the development and distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine. However, we must keep […]

Trogocytosis – A Case of T cell Identity Theft Offers Essential Clue to Solving MS

Trogocytosis - A Case of T-cell Identity Theft

A case of immune T cell identity theft (trogocytosis) gave German scientists the vital clue they needed to understand a key mechanism behind the development of multiple sclerosis (MS). In a recently published paper, scientists at the Institute of Neuropathology in Gottingen, Germany, describe new research that could help doctors treat MS. [1] The key […]
