Study Revealed Greater Reproducibility from Whole Blood Stimulation Systems as Compared to PBMC Stimulation for Studying Induced Immune Responses.
We’re excited to announce a collaborative study conducted by seven FOCIS Centers of Excellence (FCE) in Europe, which appeared in the September 2017 issue of Clinical Immunology in the article “Standardized whole blood stimulation improves immune-monitoring of induced immune responses in multi-center study”.
“This a wonderful example of how FCEs can work together to tackle important research questions,” said Megan Levings, PhD, Professor at University of British Columbia and FCE Chair. “The work is an important step towards improved standardization of immune monitoring assays and will be a great asset for future multi-center clinical studies.”
