Phenotypical analysis of all immune cells by spectral flow cytometry includes our favorite innate immune cells such as dendritic cells, macrophages, monocytes, basophils, neutrophils, NKs cells and ILCs as well. Various panels have been optimized to either give a broad overview of the presence of these cells in your samples or zoom into various subtypes.
Functional assays
Basophil Activation Test
Screen your therapeutic on inhibition of basophil activation via our whole blood based assay. Our flow cytometry based assay uses CD63 expression as a readout for activation.
MoDC generation
Monocyte derived Dendritic Cell (moDC) generation can be the basis of an autologous or allogeneic T cell activation assay but also a way to measure the potency of a vaccine adjuvant, or unwanted immune responses.
Phagocytosis assay
Are macrophages clearing your therapeutic? Or influencing the phagocytic capacity of immune cells? Our flow cytometry and microscopy facilities are state of the art and well equipped to help enravel your phagocytosis questions.
Migration Assay
Do your drugs interfere with the capacity of Dendritic Cells to migrate? Use our transwell set up measure the influence of migrating towards a chemoattractant.
Cytokine production
Measure unwanted immune activation in our whole blood system or monitor immune responses in clinical samples. We can use ELISA, Flow based and other methods to monitor immune responses based on cytokine production.
NETosis
Is your therapy inhibiting or inducing NETosis? We can quantify neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation to further your neutrophil research.
