Vector Laboratories' blog provides a wealth of information on immunohistochemistry (IHC), immunofluorescence (IF), and related life science research topics.
Immuno-oncology research spans a wide range of biology, from RNA sensing and metabolism to the nervous system and glycosylation, and each new study adds to our understanding of how the immune system interacts with cancer.
Vector Laboratories will be at NSH 2026 to show how VectaPlex™ advances spatial oncology research. Director of R&D Erika Leonard, Sr. Field Application Scientist Sabrina Mateos, and Lead Technical Support Specialist Anjali Haridasan will represent... Read more
Immuno-oncology research often hinges on the ability to characterize complex biological systems—the tumor microenvironment, effector T cells, immune checkpoints, to name a few. Probing these systems requires tools that reliably capture the spatial biology, perform... Read more
Obesity is a disease with broad causes and effects. The study, diagnosis, and treatment of obesity have implications from the population level down to the individual (but interconnected) biological pathways in each person. The study... Read more
Organoid research has grown substantially over the past decade and a half. What started with self-organizing intestinal epithelium in basement membrane extract has expanded into a platform used across cancer biology, infectious disease, developmental biology,... Read more
Multiplexing has revolutionized immunostaining workflows. It allows the simultaneous detection of multiple targets in the same tissue section and empowers scientists to gather more data while sparing precious samples. But issues with cross-reactivity between reagents... Read more
Antibodies are the epitome of simple yet powerful science tools. Made of just 4 peptides, they never cease to help scientists unravel the intricacies of the microscopic world
Creating a product that stands out and addresses the needs of scientists requires ingenuity, persistence, and a lot of testing; our new product, VectaPlex™ Antibody Removal Kit, is no exception. We sat down with Senior... Read more
Observation is one of the fundamental steps in the scientific method. However, for centuries the scientific study of tissues was limited to observations of dissections with the unaided eye. It was not until the mid-19th... Read more
Multiplexing, a powerful technique that allows the visualization of multiple biomarkers within a single sample, has revolutionized the field by offering researchers valuable insights into the spatial context of complex cellular processes and interactions. By... Read more
