Scientific PublicationThe BD™ AbSeq oligonucleotide-conjugated antibodies The BD™ AbSeq oligonucleotide-conjugated antibodies, when incorporated into a single-cell mRNA-sequencing experiment, can yield combined transcript and protein expression data. Such data can provide vital insights into cellular processes and yield insightful information about gene expression. This article by Erickson, et.al provides a detailed experimental protocol for the combined analysis […]

Scientific PublicationOMIP-068: High-dimensional characterization In this OMIP (Optimised Multicolour Immunophenotyping Panel), the authors describe a 24-color panel to characterise antigen-specific B cells and for the precise delineation of B cell subsets in chronic infection.1 B cells play an important role in infection response through the production of antibodies, antigen presentation and secretion of cytokines. The antibodies […]
