SUMMARY:Webinar: Real-Time Analysis of Cellular Phagocytosis; Characterization of Anti-CD47 Antibodies as Potential Novel Immuno-Therapies
DESCRIPTION:August 15\, 2019 at 8am PDT / 11am EDT / 4pm BST / 5pm CEST\nAlongside intense efforts to exploit T-cells as immunotherapies for cancer (e.g. checkpoint inhibitors\, CAR-T\, T-cell metabolism)\, researchers are increasingly considering other immune cell types for novel targets. One example is the enhancement of macrophage function via inhibitors of CD47 “don’t-eat-me” signaling proteins\, enabling tumor cells to evade clearance by neighbouring phagocytes (Kim et al\, 2012\, Leukemia 26\, 2538–2545). In order to identify new CD47 and phagocyte modulators\, novel\, direct and validated assays with throughput commensurate to drug discovery are required. Watch this webinar to learn how: \n\nReal-time live-cell analysis using pH-sensitive fluorescent probe-labeled target cells can be used to visualize and quantify phagocytosis.\nYou can share data on the pro-phagocytic effects of anti-CD47 antibodies.\nOther live-cell phenotypic assays (e.g. apoptosis\, proliferation) are used to validate mechanisms of action.\n\nCertificate of attendance All webinar participants can download a certificate of attendance\, with a learning outcomes summary document for continuing education purposes. \n\nPresenters\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Tim Dale\nHead of BioAnalytics Applications Sartorius Corporation Sartorius\n\n\nTim co-founded the European laboratories of Essen BioScience in 2009 and is Head of BioAnalytics Applications\, Sartorius Corporation\, managing R&D operations.  A highly experienced industrial pharmacologist and leader with more than 20 years of service\, Tim has a track record in applied drug discovery.  Applying his knowledge and expertise to drug discovery programs in the neurology\, psychiatry and gastrointestinal therapeutic areas\, he has contributed to the progression of a number of candidate molecules into clinical studies.  Tim has co-authored over 20 publications and patents relating to pharmacology\, ion channels and cell-based assays.  Most recently\, Tim is applying his many years of experience to extend the portfolio of cell-based applications utilising live-cell analysis in the fields of oncology\, immunology and neuroscience.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr Lois Manton-O’Byrne\nEditor SelectScience\n\n\n\nDr Lois Manton-O’Byrne is the Editor of SelectScience.

SUMMARY:Webinar: An Introduction to characterization of biomolecules using analytical ultracentrifugation
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT:\n\n\nDATE: June 18\, 2019\nTIME: 8:00am PDT\n\nAnalytical Ultracentrifugation (AUC) is one of the most powerful biophysical tools used today for the characterization of biological samples ranging from small drug molecules to intact viruses\, vesicles and microparticles. AUC works with biological samples in the native state and does not depend on a reporter species or custom-coated substrates which are required by techniques such as NMR\, EPR\, SPR and fluorescence spectroscopy. AUC separates biomolecules based upon both molecular mass and anisotropy\, unlike Size Exclusion Chromatography (SEC)\, which separates molecules based only on their hydrodynamic volume. Furthermore\, AUC is not just useful for characterizing the oligomerization/aggregation state of biological samples\, but also to quantify interactions between different species.\nIn this talk\, we will start with the principles of analytical ultracentrifugation and take a tour through the technology behind modern AUC\, including UV/Vis absorbance mode and interference mode signal detection\, and look at experiment design and setup. Following\, we will address the different types of AUC experiments (equilibrium and velocity)\, compare and contrast their merits with sample data\, and touch upon the principles of data processing (to be covered in-depth in a subsequent webinar). Finally\, we will explore a variety of applications with a focus on the unique advantages that AUC brings to the study of various biotherapeutics\, polymers\, nanoparticles\, and others – and how AUC compares to and complements other analytical techniques.\nLearning Objectives:\n\n\nBecome familiar with the principles of analytical ultracentrifugation\, the technology behind modern AUC.\n\n\nLearn the fundamentals of how to design and setup experiments.\n\n\nLearn about the different types of AUC experiments (equilibrium and velocity)\, compare and contrast their merits.\n\n\nLearn the basic principles behind AUC data analysis.\n\n\nDiscover the unique advantages that AUC brings to the study of various biotherapeutics\, polymers\, nanoparticles\, etc.\n\n\n\nLabRoots is approved as a provider of continuing education programs in the clinical laboratory sciences by the ASCLS P.A.C.E. ® Program. By attending this webinar\, you can earn 1 Continuing Education credit once you have viewed the webinar in its entirety.\n\n\n\n\nAkash Bhattacharya\, PhD\n\nSenior Application Engineer\, Beckman Coulter Life Sciences\n\n\n\nAkash Bhattacharya graduated from Presidency College\, India with a major in Physics and went on to a Masters’ in Physics at the Indian Institute of Science where he worked on Quantum Computing. He then moved for doctoral studies in Biophysics to the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor where he joined the lab of Prof. Erik Zuiderweg and worked on NMR spectroscopy methods development in the context of the Structural Biology of Chaperone Proteins. After Michigan\, he worked briefly at Rutgers and then eventually moved to the Dept. of Biochemistry and Structural Biology at the University of Texas Health at San Antonio. Here\, he worked with Prof. Dmitri Ivanov and Prof. Borries Demeler on the enzymology of HIV infection and restriction by mammalian proteins. He also worked on projects related to oncology (DNA damage repair) and neuroscience (voltage gated ion channels)\, using a wide variety of techniques ranging from X-ray crystallography\, NMR spectroscopy\, fluorescence spectroscopy\, molecular dynamics and analytical ultracentrifugation (AUC). He collaborated with Prof. Demeler to extend AUC methods to novel enzymatic systems resulting in publications in PNAS\, Cell Reports\, Nature Scientific Reports\, etc. Akash joined Beckman Coulter Life Sciences in Oct 2018. He is based in the Colorado R&D center and works on developing new AUC applications. His research interests include extending AUC methodology to new therapeutic areas such as AAV capsids (gene therapy)\, liposomal drug carriers and others.\n\n\n\nRoss VerHeul\n\nSenior Applications Scientist – Beckman Coulter\n\n\n\nRoss holds formal training spanning biology to synthetic organic chemistry and wide-ranging expertise in microfluidic applications paired with the production\, purification\, and characterization of a multitude of biomaterials for use in vitro and in vivo.

Vickers\, Product Development Chemist\, Agilent Technologies Inc.\n\n\n\nDuration:\n1 hour\n\n\nDescription:\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPLOT (Porous Layer Open Tubular) columns are intended for the separation of compounds with very high vapor pressure (e.g.\, permanent gases and light hydrocarbons) without the need for cryogenic or sub-ambient cooling of the oven. PLOT column stationary phases are physically different than those of polysiloxanes and polyethylene glycols. PLOT stationary phases are porous particles that are attached to the inner wall of the capillary tubing using a binder or similar means. Compounds are separated based on their adsorption properties and other gas-solid surface interactions with the stationary phase.Agilent offers the most comprehensive line of PLOT columns for analysis of fixed gases\, low molecular weight hydrocarbon isomers\, volatile polar compounds\, and reactive analytes such as sulfur gases\, amines\, and hydrides. In this presentation we will cover the modes of separation involved with PLOT columns and demonstrate a wide array of separations including permanent gases\, branched and olefinic hydrocarbons\, and sulfur compounds among others. \nPresenter Information: Allen K.

SUMMARY:IncuCyte: Longitudinal Characterization of Human Stem Cell-Derived Neurons Using Calcium Imaging
DESCRIPTION:Webinar abstract \nThe ability to measure neuronal activity and network activity in a longitudinal manner is paramount to the study of neurological disease Due to the synaptic plasticity of neuronal cell cultures\, identifying dynamic changes between normal and mutated models is critical for understanding changes in network connectivity. To evaluate activity differences between normal and diseased states\, we used mutant and control human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to generate neuronal cultures by forcing expression of Neurogenin-2. Using the IncuCyte® S3 live-cell analysis system\, we measured neuronal activity over the course of several weeks for functional analysis of differences in activity and connectivity. We found that iPSC-derived neurons had increased activity over time and formed synchronous neuronal networks around 3 weeks of differentiation. Data generated showed a reproducible\, relevant phenotypic readout for long-term network changes in this epileptic cell model. \nWATCH ON DEMAND \nLearn how to: \n\nDifferentiate iPSCs into neurons using forced Neurogenin-2 expression\nAcquire and analyze calcium imaging data over time\, using the IncuCyte® S3 live-cell analysis system\nThe importance of long-term analysis of neuronal activity to evaluate differences in activity and connectivity for iPSC derived neurons\n\nPresenter: Louis Dang\, MD/PhD\, Clinical Lecturer\, University of Michigan \nLouis Dang is a pediatric epileptologist and neuroscientist at the University of Michigan. His research focuses on how genetic mutations cause early-life epilepsies. Using patient-derived and gene-edited stem cells\, he generates 2D and 3D cultures to determine the molecular pathogenesis of epilepsy\, opening new avenues for targeted therapies.

SUMMARY:Improving RNA research results with LNA technology
DESCRIPTION:How does locked nucleic acid (LNA) technology affect RNA results? \nLNA (locked nucleic acid) oligos bind with much higher affinity and specificity to RNA targets than standard DNA and RNA oligos. This enables specific and sensitive detection of small RNAs and discrimination between highly similar sequences. This webinar will present the unique features and benefits of LNA and discuss how your microRNA qPCR experiments and your functional analyses of RNA will profit. \nLNA substitutions increase oligo melting temperature\, enabling Tm adjustment and normalization. This makes LNA optimal for designing short\, high-affinity PCR primers and antisense oligonucleotides. LNA also allows detection of rare RNAs\, even when limited to less sample material or complex samples with low RNA content. As LNA also increases the Tm difference between perfectly matched and mismatched targets\, even closely related sequences can be accurately discriminated in qPCR profiling and silencing. \nDue to their short length\, high-affinity LNA antisense oligonucleotides are taken up naturally by cells. Highly potent once inside cells and resistant to enzymatic degradation\, LNA antisense oligos effectively silence RNA in a broad range of animal tissues – making them the tool of choice for revealing RNA functions and evaluating their therapeutic potential. \nQIAGEN has merged our cutting edge technologies with Exiqon’s twenty years of experience in LNA oligo design to enhance qPCR technology\, in situ hybridization\, functional analysis of RNA in cells and animals\, miRNA and RNA sequencing and much more! Join this webinar and learn how to take your RNA research to the next level! \nREGISTER HERE \n• Live Webinar: Take your RNA research to the next level with LNA technology\n• Speaker: Roman Kurek\, Ph.D.\, Senior Customer Solutions Manager\, Genomics\, QIAGEN\n• Date and Time: October 31\, 2018 at 9:00 am EDT and 2:00 pm CET

SUMMARY:PerkinElmer: Tissue Biomarker Analysis: A Practical Approach for Translational Research
DESCRIPTION:Simultaneous quantitation of 6 or more biomarkers in intact tissue specimens holds the key to many questions concerning the biological basis of health and disease by allowing complex cellular interactions to be captured and analyzed. However\, reliable detection remains elusive due to technical challenges from many sources\, including antibody cross reactivity\, difficulty in balancing signals from rare and abundant targets\, tissue autofluorescence and interference between fluorophores\, especially for co-localized targets. \nIn this webinar application scientists from PerkinElmer will present a practical and validated method for highly multiplexed tissue biomarker analysis that addresses many of these challenges. Opal™ staining is an antibody-agnostic technique\, which produces highly specific and reproducible results and when combined with multispectral imaging systems\, such as Vectra®\, is able to detect eight or more biomarkers simultaneously in one tissue section. Simultaneous detection of multiple antigens on a single tissue with multispectral imaging and analysis reveals spatial relationships between cells with the resolution needed for high-precision proximity analysis and detection of intracellular localization of targeted antigens. By elucidating the relationships between cells\, Opal staining allows you to see intercellular relationships in context of the microenvironment. \nWATCH ON DEMAND \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this webinar\, you will learn: \n\nHow to overcome key challenges inherent in multiplex biomarker analysis\nPractical and validated approaches to multiplex IHC staining\nWhy multispectral imaging is important for generating high quality data\nMethods for analyzing relationships between cells\n\n  \n \nGrady Carlson\, PhD\nField Applications Scientist\,\nQuantitative Pathology Solutions\nPerkinElmer \n  \nLinden Wyatt\, PhD\nField Applications Scientist\,\nQuantitative Pathology Solutions\nPerkinElmer

SUMMARY:Promega: Bottoms Up: Improving Proteomic Sample Preparation with Recombinant Asp-N and Multi-Enzyme Workflows
DESCRIPTION:While trypsin is the workhorse for bottom-up proteomics\, it is not a magic bullet since tryptic digestion often leaves gaps in protein sequences. In this webinar Dr. Hosfield will describe the advantages of using a new recombinant Asp-N protease to fill in the gaps. He will also demonstrate how combining digests from multiple proteases can yield comprehensive sequence coverage of proteins from a single LC-MS/MS run. \nWATCH ON DEMAND \nADDITIONAL WEBINAR INFORMATION: \nBottom-up mass spectrometry workflows typically use trypsin to digest proteins into peptides suitable for LC-MS/MS analysis. While trypsin is an excellent protease\, alternative proteases are useful for numerous applications including increasing protein sequence coverage and identifying post-translational modifications. \nIn this webinar Dr. Hosfield describes the features of a new recombinant Asp-N protease (rAsp-N). rAsp-N displays both high cleavage efficiency and a strong preference for cleavage N-terminal to aspartic acid. He will explain how this enzyme can be effectively used to digest a variety of sample types\, including complex protein mixtures and therapeutic molecules such as monoclonal antibodies. \nIn addition\, he describes how a multi-enzyme approach can be successfully employed to achieve 100% sequence coverage of an IgG from a single injection. Combining peptides derived from digestion with orthogonal proteases prior to LC-MS/MS analysis could be a general strategy to ensure high sequence coverage while simultaneously reducing demand on instrument time. \nPRESENTER: CHRIS HOSFIELD\nChris Hosfield is a Senior Research Scientist in the Protein Analysis group at Promega. He has lead the development of tools for proteomics and antibody characterization\, including PNGase F\, IdeS\, IdeZ and recombinant Asp-N. \nChris has broad expertise working with proteolytic enzymes and preparing protein samples for analysis by mass spectrometry. Prior to joining Promega\, Chris held senior scientist positions at several biotechnology companies where he applied proteomic methods to the discovery and development of both small molecules and biotherapeutics. He received his PhD in biochemistry from Queen’s University.

SUMMARY:Agilent: Elevate the Performance of your GC (and MS): Strategies to Improve Sensitivity and Reliability with Complex Matrix Samples
DESCRIPTION:In an ideal world\, samples would always be clean\, easy to inject and analyse and your GC and MS systems would maintain their sensitivity indefinitely. The reality is that most samples cannot be directly injected onto the GC and MS detection system\, and sample preparation is often needed to achieve the desired sensitivity. Sometimes simple fixes\, such as choosing the right liner\, switching to a high efficiency column\, or utilizing “jet clean” on the MS can make a big difference on the sensitivity of the analysis.  But often\, sample preparation is the critical step needed to get samples ready for GC or GC/MS(-MS) analysis. Appropriate sample preparation techniques not only make samples amenable for GC injection at concentrations suitable for detection\, but also remove and prevent unwanted matrix components from accumulating and deteriorating on the GC and GC/MS flow path. We will discuss useful strategies\, including choosing the right GC column and supplies\, as well as what level of sample preparation\, and maintenance is required for method reliability and analytical data quality\, using challenging representative applications such as PAHs in salmon oil and pesticides in fatty matrices. \nWATCH ON DEMAND \nWhat does it cover? \nGC high efficiency columns and liner selection\, and sample preparation methods/techniques to improve the sensitivity and reliability of your GC and GC/MS analysis. \nBy attending this webinar you will learn: \n\nsome of the strategies you can employ when working with complex matrix samples\nhow to reduce instrument down time due to needed maintenance such as source cleaning\nhow sample preparation can benefit your GC and GC/MS(-MS) analysis.\n\nWhy should you attend? \nTo gain better understanding of: \n\nstrategies that can be implemented when working with complex matrix samples and still maintain the sensitivity and reliability of your GC and GC/MS(-MS) system.\nhow gas quality\, thermal stability\, and column bleed can affect your chromatography.\nsample preparation techniques/methods and their importance to improve method sensitivity and reliability.\n\nPLUS – Participation Bonus: Register and attend the webinar to receive a special offer from Agilent Technologies. \nThis presentation is suitable for… \nLaboratory technicians\, researchers\, and scientists wishing to learn more about how to analyse heavy matrix samples and learn about sample preparation.
