Systematic comparison of monoclonal versus polyclonal antibodies for mapping histone modifications by ChIP-seq. [PDF]
, 2016 BackgroundThe robustness of ChIP-seq datasets is highly dependent upon the antibodies used. Currently, polyclonal antibodies are the standard despite several limitations: They are non-renewable, vary in performance between lots and need to be validated ...

A new survivin tracer tracks, delocalizes and captures endogenous survivin at different subcellular locations and in distinct organelles [PDF]
, 2016 Survivin, the smallest member of the inhibitor of apoptosis protein family, plays a central role during mitosis and exerts a cytoprotective function. Survivin is highly expressed in most cancer types and contributes to multiple facets of carcinogenesis ...

Serodominant SARS-CoV-2 Nucleocapsid Peptides Map to Unstructured Protein Regions
Microbiology Spectrum, 2023 The SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid (N) protein is highly immunogenic, and anti-N antibodies are commonly used as markers for prior infection. While several studies have examined or predicted the antigenic regions of N, these have lacked consensus and structural

Determination of a predictive cleavage motif for eluted major histocompatibility complex class II ligands [PDF]
, 2018 CD4+ T cells have a major role in regulating immune responses. They are activated by recognition of peptides mostly generated from exogenous antigens through the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II pathway.
