Individual Tests

All preclinical tests are also available individually. In addition, assays marked with * can also be performed on samples derived from clinical trials.

Phenotypic analysis

  • differential blood counts
  • histological analysis of spleen, lymph node, Peyer´s patches and thymus
  • serological analysis of antibody isotype distribution using ELISA
  • flow cytometric cell surface analysis of T and B lymphocytes, NK-cells und monocytes/macrophages

Functional studies in vitro

  • measurement of NK-activity ex vivo and following in vitro stimulation
  • antigen dependent T-cell proliferation assays
  • serological quantification of antibody concentrations
  • measurement of B cell activity using hemagglutination or hemolysis assays
  • phagocytosis or migration assays

Functional studies in vivo

  • measurement of DTH reactions
  • autoimmunity studies
  • tumourigenicity / oncogenicity
  • vaccination studies
  • potency testing

Pharmacological studies in vitro

  • pharmacokinetics of biologicals (direct / biomarkers)*
