Eliminate false leads earlier-execute continuous flow cell based assays
The migration of immune cells to lung tissue induces a hyper-immune response. VenaFluxTM and Vena8TM Biochips from Cellix have been used for the study of asthmatic and allergy conditions. Asthma is caused by a complex interaction of environmental and genetic factors that are not yet fully understand. These factors influence the severity of the patient's asthma and how well they respond to medication. Allergy is a disorder of the immune system resulting in an extreme inflammatory response. Allergic reactions occur to environmental substances known as allergens. Inhaled allergens can also lead to asthmatic symptoms.
Cellix's microfluidic Vena8TM and VenaECTM biochips enable researchers to mimic the inflammatory conditions seen in asthmatic and allergy patients. To learn more about eosinophil adhesion to receptors on the endothelial cell surface and the positive response of drugs for the treatment of asthma (Montelukast) and allergies (Levocetirizine).
