New work from our group and Kim Thrane's resolving the immune phenotype of sinonasal cancer with TCR/BCR profiling in tissue sections. SNC are sky-high for Treg cells and Treg clones colocalise with CD8 T and B cells in CXCL9+ niches. #spatialVDJ #scRNASeq

And this why boys and girls you need to know the reagents that you are using

Today I'm posting a new blog about an astonishing scientific own goal. Hundreds of papers have reported using a completely wrong antibody to investigate the tumor suppressor p16. This mistake has happened because scientists have muddled the names of two proteins 🧵

So we blocked IFNγ in Mtb infected macaques and….the animals were fine. Turns out mice overestimate the importance of IFNγ in TB because IFNγ drives iNOS in mice but not macaques or humans. This means we don’t actually know how T cells suppress Mtb. rdcu.be/ff9GB

@Agingfencer @lpachter that's a different endpoint, which might not match the biological question asked.

This is false.
RT-PCR of a gene-of-interest is an independent replicate. Even if the replicate is less accurate, it's still of value, since in many studies (e.g. scRNA-seq) there are no replicates at all (!)
Of course ideally one designs good experiments from the outset.

There's no reason to confirm RNA-seq results with RT-PCR

Unique footage of Julius Caesar crossing the Rubicon with his legions (colorized). On this day in 49 BC. It precipitated the Roman Civil War, which ultimately led to Caesar becoming dictator and the rise of the imperial era of Rome.

ANOTHER F2 WIN AND THE CHAMPIONSHIP LEAD FOR ALEX DUNNE! ☘️
It might be the Irishman’s best win yet, through heavy rain at the legendary Spa circuit in Belgium 🇧🇪
Yet again, there was an Offaly jersey in the pitlane as Dunne celebrated with his crew after a memorable win

For those immunologists still on twitter - from the marrow to the thymus, from innate to adaptive - will consider suggestions - but need help for the B cells open.spotify.com/playlist/0aCA8…

@OlympicStatman To be fair I follow you on Twitter and not Tom Jones...so there is that

My great-grandad and Tom's father worked in the same colliery. Can't help thinking he worked much better for himself than me...

60 years ago I released It’s Not Unusual, and what a ride it’s been! Back then I would never have believed this one tune would have led on to such a wonderful life and career, full of music, fantastic people and touring all over the world. None of this would have been possible…

For the first time in 5 years Covid is relatively quiet during the holiday season. The XEC variant marches on (latest CDC genomic surveillance below) slowly advancing as % of attributable cases. Fortunately, it's not one that poses a big challenge to our now conditioned immune response
