Macrophage-based models for diagnostics and therapy development

Aim: Immunopathology plays important roles in the development of different life-threatening diseases, such as atherosclerosis and its consequences (acute myocardial infarction and stroke), cancer, chronic inflammatory diseases. Effective modulation of the immune system may significantly increase the efficacy of prevention and therapy efforts. We have developed a test system designed for complex analysis of human monocyte-derived macrophage activity in individuals to diagnose immunopathology and monitor treatment efficacy.
