Cellular Bioassays

With its bridging expertises in cellular immunology, cellular engineering, antibody technologies, molecular biology and glycobiology GLYCOTOPE collected a huge expertise in cellular bioassays. Those include tests for the vitality, proliferation, apoptosis and necrosis induction, lysis, phagocytosis, adhesion, and migration of cells. Specialized assays include ADCC (antibody dependent cell cytotoxicity) differentiating different effector cells, CDC (complement mediated cytotoxicity), phagocytosis via macrophages, specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cell and NKT cell activation, CTL-mediated cell lysis, T helper mediated resonses, antigen internalisation, DC migration, and cellular efficacy assays for the potency of molecules like hormones, growth factors, cytokines and others. We design customized solutions for the individual requirements of a project.
