| ABSTRACT: |
|
Immune monitoring is an integral part of immunological research and translational applications in the fields of cancer, infectious disease, autoimmunity, transplantation and others. The functional assessment of immune cells heavily relies on the availability of adequate amounts of intact samples. In this live webinar with Q&A, you’ll hear Enzyme-Linked Immunospot (Elispot) expert Dr. Sylvia Janetzki (ZellNet Consulting) describe the latest improvements made to strategies for obtaining and handling patient samples to conserve sample integrity. Several critical topics will be discussed, including obtaining blood and tissue samples; processing, storage and transport of samples; handling of samples in multi-center trials; and tools to preserve stability and functionality of samples including re-setting circulating T cell functionality to a tissue-like state.
Dr. Janetzki will answer questions from webinar attendees so be sure to attend and get answers from the expert! |
