Use of glutaraldehyde for preparation of immunogenic compounds

This manuscript describes how to assess in vivo immunogenicity of tumor cell-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) using flow cytometry. EVs derived from tumors undergoing treatment-induced immunogenic cell death seem particularly relevant in tumor immunosurveillance. This protocol exemplifies the assessment of oxaliplatin-induced immunostimulatory tumor EVs but can be adapted to various...

The transimmunization (TI) device or plate and related protocols have been developed to replicate the key features of extracorporeal photochemotherapy (ECP), in an experimental setting, allowing for production of physiologically activated, tunable dendritic cells (DCs) for cancer...

Autoimmune hypophysitis can be reproduced in mice by injecting an extract of mouse pituitary...

Oximes can be reduced to primary amines using catalytic hydrogenation, hydride reduction, or sodium metal reduction. The reduction of aliphatic and aromatic nitro compounds to primary amines takes place by either catalytic hydrogenation or by using active metals like Fe, Zn, and Sn in the presence of an acid.
Though catalytic hydrogenation can reduce nitrobenzenes, the reduction is nonselective in the presence of other functional groups. For instance, if nitrobenzene contains an aldehyde group,...

This video showcases an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay or ELISA sandwich immunocapture assay designed to assess immunogenic glycoprotein levels in vaccines. The assay plate, containing glycoprotein-specific antibodies, is incubated with serially diluted vaccine samples, including reference and test vaccines, followed by immunoassay to quantify glycoprotein content in the test...
