CELL BASED ASSAYS

Developers of vaccines, gene and cell therapies, monoclonal antibodies or other types of biologics need to accurately measure and predict the immunological responses mediated by, or developed against, their drug candidates. Immune cells are at the heart of these complex biological mechanisms and their functions and characteristics require highly specialized skills and technologies to be fully deciphered.  Well-designed cellular assays represent the key to any successful preclinical or clinical program and can make the difference between a cost efficient, direct path to IND and a convoluted, expensive development path wrought by ill-informed decisions, repeats and setbacks. High quality cellular data are key to identifying, screening and validating candidates through all stages of development from discovery to safety, immunogenicity and efficacy studies.
