Harnessing the Power of Natural Killer Cells for Cancer Immunotherapy
The immune system is our body’s biological defense system against a variety of pathogens and is separated into the innate and adaptive branches. Our innate immune system is the body’s […]
CD14+ Monocytes are a Critical Component of the Innate Immune System
What are Monocytes? Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), which reside in the bone marrow give rise to blood cells in a process called hematopoiesis. HSCs differentiate into the lymphoid and myeloid […]
PBMCs: A powerful research tool
What are PBMCs? Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) are key components of the body’s complex and dynamic immune system. A mononuclear cell is characterized by a single round nucleus […]
Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-Cell Therapy
Re-tasking our body’s own immune system to treat cancer has been a major scientific goal over the last few decades. According to the National Cancer Institute, it is estimated that […]
Engineered T-Cells: A look at Autologous and Allogeneic CAR-T Cell Immunotherapies
Re-tasking our body’s own immune system to treat cancer has been a major scientific goal over the last few decades. According to the National Cancer Institute, it is estimated that […]
Cryopreserved PBMCs Offer Advantages Over Fresh
Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs) derived from Leukopaks are a rich source of leukocytes, the ideal starting material for isolating T cells, B cells, natural killer cells, and monocytes. Many […]
