Longitudinal single-cell analysis of SARS-CoV-2-reactive B cells uncovers persistence of early-formed, antigen-specific clones
READ PUBMED When the body encounters a pathogen, such as a virus, the immune system develops an adaptive immune response through B-cell and T-cell responses to clear the infection and develop memory to this pathogen. This memory, often referred to as “immunological memory,” allows the body to respond more rapidly and specifically if it faces […]
Severe COVID-19 infection is associated with aberrant cytokine production by infected lung epithelial cells rather than by systemic immune dysfunction
READ NATURE PORTFOLIO PREPRINT Researchers at the University of Chicago used their Laminar Wash HT2000 system to safely prepare peripheral immune cells from COVID-19 patients with moderate and severe disease for flow cytometry in a biosafety cabinet. This preprint manuscript in a Nature family journal reveals how increased IL-6 and CCL2 in patients with severe […]

Curiox Biosystems and STEMCELL Technologies Announce Method to Safely Prepare COVID-19 Blood Samples for Vaccine Research Edit
Woburn, MA, March 30, 2020 Curiox Biosystems in conjunction with STEMCELL Technologies today announced a new system that will help researchers develop vaccines to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. A new configuration of the Laminar Wash™ HT1000 System will allow scientists to completely process blood samples from COVID-19 positive patients in a safe environment. The package […]
