Rastogi, I., et al. “B cells require licensing by dendritic cells to serve as primary antigen-presenting cells for plasmid DNA.” Oncoimmunology. 2023; 12(1): 2212550.

This study demonstrates that B cells transcribe and translate antigens encoded by plasmid DNA following passive uptake but require licensing by live Dendritic cells to present antigen to CD8 T cells.
Mouse B cells were used in this study and isolated from splenocytes using Akadeum’s Mouse B Cell Isolation Kit (12210-110)

This study provides a mechanistic rationale for the choice of optimal combinations of TLR ligands to use as adjuvants to improve the efficacy of anti-tumor vaccines.
Mouse B cells were used for this study and enriched from splenocytes of six- to ten-week-old C57BL/6 mice using Akadeum’s Mouse B Cell Isolation Kit (12210-110).

This study shows that NUR77 expression scales with antigen stimulation and restrains B cell expansion to preserve early clonal diversity in order to limit holes in the post-immune repertoire and to optimize GC selection.
In this study, mouse B cells were purified using Akadeum’s Mouse B Cell Isolation Kit (12210-110).

This study provides evidence of Th17 cell reprogramming of astrocytes, which may drive changes in the astrocytic responsiveness to cytokines during autoimmune neuroinflammation.
In this study, mouse CD4+ T cells were isolated from cultured and polarized astrocytes using Akadeum’s Mouse CD4+ T Cell Isolation Kit (12210-130).

Fan, C., et al. “Cis -regulatory evolution of the recently expanded Ly49 gene family.” Nat Commun. 2024; 15: 4839.

This study identified a set of cis-regulatory elements (CREs) for activating Ly49genes and shows that in mice, inhibitory and activating Ly49genes are regulated by two separate sets of proximal CREs, likely resulting from lineage-specific losses of CRE activity.
T reg cells were isolated from mouse spleens using Akadeum’s Streptavidin Microbubble Kit (11110-000) and biotinylated CD3 and CD45R antibodies.

Fang, L., et al. “Vascular restoration through local delivery of angiogenic factors stimulates bone regeneration in critical size defects” Bioactive Materials. 2024; 36: 580-594.

This study demonstrates that the local delivery of Spp1 and Cxcl12 enhanced angiogenesis, accelerated bone repair, and mitigated pain responses in mice.
In this study, the regenerative tissues from the defect gap were harvested and dissociated. The erythrocytes were removed using anti-GYPA and Akadeum’s Streptavidin Microbubbles (11110-000)

This study demonstrates that the designed FXLT scanner, synthesized nanophosphors, and deep-learning-based reconstruction algorithm show great potential for the high-resolution molecular imaging of small animals.
In this study, Akadeum’s Streptavidin Microbubbles (11110-000) were used for nanophosphors binding in post functionalization steps.

This study shows results of building a focused x-ray luminescence tomography (FXLT) imaging system, developing a machine-learning based FXLT reconstruction algorithm, and synthesizing nanophosphors with different emission wavelengths.
In this study, Akadeum’s Streptavidin Microbubbles (11110-000) were used for nanophosphors binding in post functionalization steps.
