Sunshine and 8 degrees Celsius, on Sunday, the 12th of May – In the morning three colleagues from BMG LABTECH HQ were teaming up to ran the 18,2 km long track around the Schluchsee lake.

Cancer vaccines are either used to prevent or treat cancer. Preventive vaccination is only partially possible and addresses viruses that are implicated in cancer onset such as human papillomavirus or hepatitis B. Therapeutic cancer vaccines are a type of immunotherapy currently being investigated as a potential new treatment for cancer and will be the focus of this article.

The use of monoclonal antibody drugs for therapeutic outcomes remains a topic of high interest throughout the research community. Evidence of this, can be found in the fact that nearly 300 sessions at this years’ American Association of Cancer Research (AACR) meeting either feature or include abstracts on this topic.

Bio-Gene Technology, the exclusive distributor of BMG LABTECH’s microplate readers in China, Hong Kong and Macao, achieved outstanding results in 2018. 

In 2003, the pioneering completion of the Human Genome Project using Sangers method, ushered in a new era of genome sequencing technologies. Since this achievement, the cost per megabase (106 bases) has continued to decrease, while the diversity and volume of sequenced genomes continues to rise.

The dual-luciferase reporter assay (DLR) system such as the Promega E1910, allows simultaneous expression and measurements of both firefly (Photinus pyralis) and renilla (renilla reniformis or sea pansy) luciferases within a single sample using a luminometer with 2 injectors.
