Field of Application
Our immune-oncology platform can be used for analysis of immune modulatory drugs as well as for investigation of additional effects of conventional drugs on the immune system. The platform comprises a panel of syngeneic tumor models and established protocols for the analysis of various cell subtypes of the immune system by flow cytometry.
