General description

Latex beads are utilized in applications including electron microscopy and cell counter calibration, antibody-mediated agglutination diagnostics, phagocytosis experiments, and many others. The most popular use of latex beads is, particularly in latex agglutination tests. This method allows the detection of minute amounts of antigens or antibodies in serum, urine, and cerebrospinal fluids. It is also used in phagocytosis research. The beads are supplied as aqueous suspensions and are composed mainly of polymer particles (30%) and water, (>69.0%) with small amounts of surfactant, (0.1–0.5%) sodium bicarbonate, and potassium sulfate (inorganic salts – 0.2%). This product is for R&D use only, not for drug, household, or other uses. For more information, please refer the Product Information Sheet.

Tumor cells expressing TLRs is generally recognized to mediate tumor inflammation. However, whether and how tumor TLR signaling pathways negatively regulate tumor inflammation remains unclear. In this report, we find that TLR4 signaling of H22 hepatocarcinoma tumor cells is transduced

By engulfing potentially harmful microbes, professional phagocytes are continually at risk from intracellular pathogens. To avoid becoming infected, the host must kill pathogens in the phagosome before they can escape or establish a survival niche. Here, we analyse the role
