In vitro–differentiated Th1/Th17/Treg cells

CD4+ helper T cells (Th cells) serve as mediators of cellular immunity and play a critical role in activating other immune cells, such as B cells and cytotoxic T cells, as well as in regulating immune responses.

Antibody-Dependent Cell-Mediated Cytotoxicity Assay (ADCC)

Antibodies, as integral components of the immune system, play a crucial role in defending against disease. Antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) is one of the mechanisms by which antibodies exert their effector functions: when IgG antibodies specifically bind via their Fab fragments to antigenic epitopes on the surface of target cells—such as virus-infected cells and tumor cells—the Fc portion of the antibody can engage Fc receptors on effector cells, including natural killer (NK) cells, monocytes–macrophages, and neutrophils, thereby triggering the effector cells’ cytotoxic activity and directly killing the target cells. The ability to elicit ADCC against target cells is an important functional criterion for antibody candidates that are directed against cancer-associated antigens.

Antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis

Antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) is one of the mechanisms by which antibody-based therapies exert their antitumor and other therapeutic effects. Currently, therapeutic strategies aimed at enhancing macrophage responses to therapeutic antibodies have garnered significant attention from researchers, including the identification of novel targets and the development of antibodies with enhanced functionality.

Complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC)

Complement is a group of heat-labile, enzymatically active proteins found in human and vertebrate serum and tissue fluids, comprising more than 30 soluble and membrane-bound proteins. Complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) refers to the lytic effect on target cells resulting from the formation of a membrane attack complex after complement is activated by specific antibodies that bind to corresponding antigens on the cell membrane via the classical pathway of complement activation. Initially, antibodies bind to complement component C1q, which then triggers the sequential activation of C2 through C9 to form the membrane attack complex, ultimately leading to lysis of the target cell.

Cytokine Release Syndrome Risk Assessment (CRS)

Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) refers to a hyperactive immune response that occurs following infection with pathogenic microorganisms, leading to the rapid activation of numerous immune cells and the massive release of multiple cytokines—including TNF-α, IL-1, IL-6, IL-12, IFN-α, IFN-β, and IFN-γ—within a short period. This results in a severe systemic inflammatory response syndrome. The excessive production of these cytokines can damage tissues and organs, thereby giving rise to a wide range of clinical manifestations. Currently, the standard approach is to closely monitor and target the specific cytokines that trigger the cytokine storm.

Eosinophil Isolation and Purity Assay

Eosinophils account for 0.5%–5% of the total white blood cell count and exhibit diurnal rhythmic variation in the bloodstream, with higher levels at night than during the day. Eosinophils possess chemotactic, phagocytic, and bactericidal activities, making them critically important cells in immune and allergic responses.

Neutrophil Isolation and Purity Assay

Neutrophils are the most abundant type of granulocyte, accounting for 40% to 70% of all human white blood cells. As the first line of host defense against invading pathogens, neutrophils possess intrinsic phagocytic capacity, enabling them to engulf nanoparticles and phagocytose senescent red blood cells; upon activation, they can eliminate foreign pathogens and target antigens. In vitro, neutrophils can become activated after more than 2–3 hours, a phenomenon that currently poses one of the major challenges in neutrophil research. Leveraging He YouSheng’s unique sample resources can significantly address this issue.

Neutrophil Reactive Oxygen Species Assay

Reactive oxygen species and proteolytic enzymes produced by neutrophils during host defense are major contributors to various chronic inflammatory conditions. Cells are labeled with the DCFH-DA fluorescent probe, and changes in cellular fluorescence intensity are measured to assess the effects of drugs on neutrophil-derived reactive oxygen species production.

Neutrophil Migration Assay

The phagocytosis of pathogens by neutrophils generally involves several steps: chemotaxis, opsonization, phagocytosis, and bactericidal activity. Under the influence of chemokines, neutrophils migrate directionally toward bacterial targets; bacteria that have been opsonized are readily adhered to the neutrophil surface, leading to invagination of the neutrophil plasma membrane. Through pinocytosis, the bacteria are engulfed, forming a phagosome, which subsequently fuses with lysosomes within the cell to form a phagolysosome, where the bacteria are ultimately killed.
