Immunology Assays that model the Tumour Microenvironment

We develop assays that generate functional, human‑relevant data to clarify mechanism of action, differentiate candidates, and uncover drivers of response or resistance.

  • Physiologically relevant in vitro immunology assays that model immune–tumour interactions in the TME
  • Our in vitro assay systems support a wide range of modalities (including BiTEs, ADCs, CAR‑T)
  • We integrate primary human immune cells (recallable PBMC donors) and/or engineered reporter cell lines with tumour targets

In vitro Assay Development across various Immune Cells

 Using our 10+ years of  immuno-oncology expertise, we have developed an array of in vitro assay systems that aim to replicate the complex immune cell interactions in the TME as accurately as possible. With a strong focus on novel and emerging therapeutic classes that are designed to modulate these processes, our assay platforms are applicable to immuno-oncology, auto-immunity, inflammation and beyond.

Discover our extensive suite of T cells assays

T cells play a critical role in immune‑mediated tumour killing and response modulation. Their specificity, functionality and memory make them prime targets for immunotherapies.

Our T cell assays provide detailed insight into activation, function and engineering.

In our slides we cover:
- T cell Activation assays
- T cell Dependent Cellular Cytotoxicity (TDCC) assays
- T cell polarisation
- Antigen-specific recall
- MLRs (one-way and two-way)
- Gamma-Delta T cell assays
- CAR T cell engineering
