  • Research summary

    We wish to obtain leukocyte cones or whole blood from either the NHSBT Non-Clinical Issue stream, or from commercial providers if availability is an issue. We will isolate PBMCs from the samples, and use these to test the ability of our proprietary antibodies to activate the T-cells, to assess how effective the antibodies may be at triggering immune-mediated elimination of cancer cells.
