Health networks: the blood and immune system

The blood and immune systems play a crucial role in health and well-being of the human body.

The blood system not only transports vital nutrients, oxygen and hormones to the cells, but also immune cells, which are responsible for defence against pathogens.

As a cellular model of the blood system, BioTeSys uses endothelial cells to study the formation of new blood vessels and the response to various stimuli.

  • Angiogenesis-related effect, e.g. tube formation assay
  • Determination of cellular markers

In the field of immunology, in vitro assays enable the analysis of immune cells such as T cells, B cells and macrophages. Various assays can determine their activation, proliferation and cytokine production under different conditions.
