Macrophages-T Cell Coculture Model Development Service

Immunity is a complex defense system in the body that protects against foreign invaders, such as pathogens and abnormal cells. Macrophages are specialized immune cells that engulf and destroy foreign substances, while T cells play a crucial role in coordinating the immune response. By working together, these two types of cells form a powerful defense network that can effectively target and eliminate threats to the body. Creative Biolabs' macrophage-T cell coculture model provides a valuable tool for studying the interactions between these immune cells in a controlled laboratory setting. This model allows researchers to investigate how macrophages and T cells communicate and collaborate to mount an effective immune response, leading to a better understanding of immune system function and potential therapeutic targets.

Representative Data

Cells: Bone marrow-derived macrophages & Splenic T cells

An important finding in cases of tissue damage, like stroke and burns, is the emergence of systemic immunosuppression marked by a decline in T cell populations and an increased susceptibility to infections. Scientists devised an in vitro macrophage-T cell coculture model to replicate the cellular interactions between innate and adaptive immune cells. The outcomes revealed that the demise of T cells following injury is instigated by the activation of inflammasomes within macrophages.

Multiple iterations are conducted to validate the robustness and consistency of the coculture model.

Q2: What are the requirements for therapeutic compound screening with the macrophage-T cell coculture model development service?

A2: When utilizing the macrophage-T cell coculture model for compound screening, it is essential to maintain the purity, stability, and activity of the samples while ensuring an adequate quantity to fulfill experimental requirements and stability. It is advised to conduct concentration gradient testing beforehand to identify the optimal effective concentration range of the sample, preventing potential toxicity to cells due to excessive or insufficient concentration levels. Furthermore, taking into account the cell growth cycle and compound mechanisms, selecting a suitable time frame to assess the sample's impact is crucial. Regularly monitoring cell viability throughout the experimentation process is also vital.
