Celentyx offers bespoke Human Immuno-Profiling opportunities to partners in strategic alliance with leading international expertise in immune cell subtypes and associated pathologies within the MRC Centre for Immune Regulation at Birmingham, U.K. to mine Mechanisms of Action and disclose novel applications for new and reprofiled drugs/compounds. Predictive immuno-toxicology (unwanted reactions) can also be profiled. Specialities (compound versus human cell subsets) include assay, enumeration, and function of: Tregs; TH17; TH1/TH2; NK & NKT; Bregs; naive versus memory B cells; B1 cells; monocytes/macrophages; DCs; haematological malignancies. More recently, Celentyx has developed a suite of sophisticated platforms for evaluating novel and established biologics in the burgeoning ImmunoOncology space.
