V3 Stain-free Workflow for a Practical, Convenient, and Reliable Total Protein Loading Control in Western Blotting
Anton Posch 1, Jonathan Kohn 1, Kenneth Oh 1, Matt Hammond 1, Ning Liu 1
1Bio-Rad Laboratories

V3 workflow is a western blot procedure using stain-free gels. The stain-free technology allows researchers to visualize protein separation quality, to verify the transfer efficiency, and most importantly, to validate the change in the protein of interest using total protein quantification as a reliable loading control.

Monitoring Hippo Signaling Pathway Activity Using a Luciferase-based Large Tumor Suppressor (LATS) Biosensor
Taha Azad *1, Kazem Nouri *1, Helena J. Janse van Rensburg 1, Yawei Hao 1, Xiaolong Yang 1
1Department of Pathology and Molecular Medicine, Queen's University

Here we present a luciferase-based biosensor to quantify the kinase activity of large tumor suppressor (LATS)-a central kinase in the Hippo signaling pathway. This biosensor has diverse applications in basic and translational research aimed at investigating Hippo pathway regulators in vitro and in vivo.

A Human Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cell (PBMC) Engrafted Humanized Xenograft Model for Translational Immuno-oncology (I-O) Research
Zhuo Li *1, Xiao Yang *1, Yilu Zhang 1, Xiaolong Yang 1, Xinxin Cui 1, Yanjuan Zhang 1, Wenfeng Gong 1, Huichen Bai 1, Ning Liu 1, Zhiyu Tang 1, Mingming Guo 1, Kang Li 1, Tong Zhang 1, Lai Wang 1, Xiaomin Song 1
