Our human PBMC and monocytes are HLA-typed and performance tested. We also provide cells and reagents for inflammation research such as HUVEC, a kit to measure E-Selectin and bovine chondrocytes. Buy CMV and M1 peptide from Astarte and you won't need to screen donors or search high and low to find recall antigens. Our Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMC) come from donors who have been tested for blood-borne pathogens and antigen responses. In addition, all of our reagents have been tested and titrated for use in vitro with our PBMC. |
We've improved the efficiency of our murine DC cultures and we're passing the savings on to our customers. We've slashed the price of our DC by 30% for both 5-10 million cells per vial and 10-15 million per vial sizes. Balb/c and C57BL/6 DC are in stock and other strains can be cultured as a custom order. All cultures are tested for expression of CD86 and MHC class II and are immature. Go to our mouse cell page to see the available lots and place your order. |
Induce asthma in days, not weeks! OVA-induced asthma is a powerful mouse model of chronic allergic asthma and airway hyperresponsiveness. In the classic model, it takes at least 4 weeks to induce chronic inflammation in mice in order to generate high levels of serum IgG and IgE.
Purified NK cells are now available from Astarte Biologics. NK cells are important effector cells in combating viral infections and neoplasms as they target cells that have lost or down-regulated MHC class I. NK cells purified from normal PBMC are CD56+ and CD11c positive, CD3 negative.
Phagocytosis of yeast by human monocytes. Monocytes are stained with Alexa Fluor 488-phalloidin (green) and yeast are labeled with AlexaFluor 594 (red). For experimental details, click here. Alexa Fluor® is a trademark of Molecular Probes, Inc.
Astarte Biologics has isolated PBMC and plasma from individuals with rheumatoid arthritis. RF and CCP values are available on most donors as are the medications they are taking for their illness. Cells are tested for responses to recall antigens.
