Hi! I recently received offers to study a BSc in Immunology at UCL and Glasgow but I'm having difficulty deciding which one to go for. Honestly, I'm leaning towards UCL atm but if anyone could provide some insight into the degrees, prospects, your time there and any experiences relating to my predicament whatsoever that would be really appreciated! Ofc I'm looking for advice mainly from anyone studying / who has studied at specifically UCL or Glasgow but all advice is appreciated, thanks! submitted by /u/Tiny-Event5100 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Immunotherapy and Cannabis: A Harmful Drug Interaction or Reefer Madness? Prior observational research, cited in clinical practice guidelines, found marijuana decreases the efficacy of nivolumab.

Summary Two Israeli studies about medical marijuana potentially interfering with immunotherapies like nivolumab for cancer treatment have received substantial attention. However, there have been anonymous but detailed concerns abo ..read more

Just done with this appliance cycle and it did not work really well. My advisor said that immunology is usually more competitive than the other biological disciplines. I was wondering if this is true and why, or is this just a comfort? submitted by /u/Sad_Marzipan1264 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hey! I'm a UK based MD/medical doctor and I'm doing an immunology based PhD (details via DM so as not to dox myself). I have a weird bunch of supervisors and postdocs who are all too busy to help or teach me stuff and I'm being told to design some new experiments. Skills I might need: PBMC isolation, Flow cytometry (+/- mass spec), RNA seq ​ My undergrad research was all non immunology lab techniques so completely not relevant and I don't have an undergrad/Masters in immunology aside from what I learnt in med school years ago. What I've done so far: Revise immunology (forgot it since medical ..read more

TCR PCR on gDNA

Does anybody know how I could use PCR to check whether there are TCRs in my DNA extractions? I checked the literature but I am confused. Found one paper from 2008 with primers for the V and J genes. The fragment size should be around 500bp. I did a sybr green qpcr and get nice cq values but when I run it on the tapestation I only get bands at 100bp.. does anyone have any advice or refs to primers? submitted by /u/vujex [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
