Atherosclerosis is a condition where the arteries become narrowed and hardened due to a buildup of plaque around the artery wall. It is also known as arteriosclerotic vascular disease.
Human Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells are available as positive and negative controls for T-cell monitoring in ELISPOT, ELISA, cytokine bead array, tetramer/pentamer, and flow cytometry assays. A peripheral blood mononuclear cell is defined as any blood cell with a round nucleus. These blood cells are a critical component in the immune system to fight infection and adapt to intruders. The lymphocyte population consists of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, B cells and Natural Killer cells, CD14+ Monocytes, and Basophils/Neutrophils/Eosinophils/Dendritic cells. These cells are often extracted from whole blood or from leukopacks using ficoll, a hydrophilic polysaccharide that separates layers of blood, with monocytes and lymphocytes forming a buffy coat under a layer of plasma.Samples from each donor are tested via PCR to confirm non-reactivity.
Included Diagnoses: Serous and other carcinomas of the ovary, Endometrial adenocarcinoma (including all subtypes) and Squamous Cell Carcinoma (including all subtypes),Neuroendocrine tumors of the ovary, Brenner Tumors.
PV Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells are enriched by separation using Ficoll-Paque density gradient from the peripheral blood. PV-PBMCs are available in untreated and relapsed/refractory stages.
