Generating Anti-CD19 CAR T Cells with High Efficiency and Viability via mRNA Electroporation

Nonviral delivery methods, such as electroporation, represent a potentially safer and less challenging approach for generating CAR T cells. Flexible, high-throughput technologies such as flow cytometry can greatly assist in reducing the challenges of CAR T-cell workflows.

How to Develop a New Multiplex SARS‑CoV‑2 Variant Neutralizing Antibody Assay in a Day

In this webinar, we will discuss the utilization of Bio‑Plex Pro Human SARS‑CoV‑2 Neutralization Custom Assay Developer Kit to efficiently develop new variant assays for the detection and determination of percentage inhibition of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‑CoV‑2) neutralizing antibodies with affinity to SARS‑CoV‑2 variants.

Gene Expression University
Series 1: Courses Designed to Make You a qPCR Expert

This five-part webinar series will give you an understanding of basic RT‑qPCR techniques and troubleshooting for each step of the gene expression workflow. Each class will include 45 minutes of instruction and 15 minutes of live Q&A. Slides and downloadable resources are available for each class.

SARS-CoV-2 & Variant Surveillance: Perspectives on Molecular Methods

In this webinar, we discuss the immune response to SARS‑CoV2, both in the context of natural exposure to the virus as well as induced immunity from vaccination. We also investigate the relationship between symptom severity and the longevity of acquired immunity.

Role of Aberrant Cytokine Activity in the Host Immune Response to COVID‑19

Immunological Response Factors to SARS‑CoV‑2 in Acquired Immunity

In this webinar, we discuss the immune response to SARS‑CoV-2, both in the context of natural exposure to the virus as well as induced immunity from vaccination. We also investigate the relationship between symptom severity and the longevity of acquired immunity. Topics include:

- SARS-CoV-2 virion and ACE2 binding
- Initiation of the adaptive response
- T- and B-lymphocyte maturity
- B-lymphocyte conversion to memory & plasma cells
- Factors affecting the duration of acquired immunity

BCR‑ABL1 MRD Monitoring Without Standard Curves: International Inter‑Laboratory Study and Clinical Laboratory Monitoring

Learn about Droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) for BCR‑ABL1 and its use in monitoring minimal residual disease (MRD). This webinar addresses:

Droplet Digital PCR for the accurate measurement of BCR‑ABL1 in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML)
Performance data from an interlab comparison: linearity, precision and accuracy compared to qPCR
Case studies from a clinical laboratory using the QXDx BCR‑ABL %IS kit in routine monitoring

Role of Aberrant Cytokine Activity in Host Immune Response to COVID-19

In this webinar, we discuss early research and nascent hypotheses regarding the pathophysiology of SARS-CoV-2 induced COVID-19 disease by evaluating cytokine and chemokine profiles, the role of chronic inflammation in comorbidities, and the arc of immune resolution of historical virulent pathogens, such as SARS and MERS.
