TECHNICAL REPORTS (from Vector® Laboratories' Science Corner)
Lectins Used for Coronavirus Detection
The ongoing epidemic has motivated researchers to study the novel coronavirus. Lectins had previously been used as a tool to elucidate the immune response against prior coronavirus outbreaks. It has been found that Mannose-binding lectins can bind to N-linked glycans on SARS-CoV (the prior 2002 outbreak), resulting in immune cell recognition.

Immunohistochemistry After Mass Spectrometry
Performing IHC after mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) can extract proteomic and other molecular information on the same tissue section. Double IHC after MSI will yield results with less intense staining but a reliable analysis of the cell type. The following article provides further information on the types of tissues that can undergo the multiple IHC staining technique to avoid increased consumption of valuable tissue samples.

Confocal Microscopy for Fluorescent Staining
Confocal microscopy provides high quality sample images in comparison to conventional epifluorescence microscopy. Confocal microscopes prevent the detection of light emitted outside the focal plane, allowing the collection of images from a z-plane and the generation of a 3D image of the sample.
