Spatial Profiling of Germinal Centers in Mouse Secondary Lymphoid Organs Using MACSima Imaging Cyclic Staining Technology. [PDF]
Eur J ImmunolWe developed a 50‐plex imaging protocol using the MACSima platform to characterize the microarchitecture of germinal centers in secondary lymphoid tissues. This workflow combines tissue processing, automated cyclic imaging, image preprocessing, and a new analysis method that detects morphological changes in irregularly shaped stromal cells.

Diversity, evolution, and function of myriapod hemocyanins
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2018 Background Hemocyanin transports O2 in the hemolymph of many arthropod species. Such respiratory proteins have long been considered unnecessary in Myriapoda. As a result, the presence of hemocyanin in Myriapoda has long been overlooked.

The diversity and evolution of chelicerate hemocyanins
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2012 Background Oxygen transport in the hemolymph of many arthropod species is facilitated by large copper-proteins referred to as hemocyanins. Arthropod hemocyanins are hexamers or oligomers of hexamers, which are characterized by a high O2 transport ...
