By setting new facilities within the cancer center “Institut Bergonié”, Explicyte strengthens its development towards clinical translational research, to provide new services based on multiparametric experimental biomarker analysis, for target identification and monitoring of the immune response in the context of clinical trials.
Explicyte and Institut Bergonié have entered into a collaboration to conjointly drive a translational research program aiming at identifying resistance mechanisms to immune checkpoint inhibitors in cancer patients.
We will be attending the AACR Annual Meeting in Atlanta, from March 29 to April 3, 2019. We will be glad to take this opportunity to meet you there, describe our service offerings and approach your research projects.
Our newly validated M2 suppression assay is specifically designed to assess new immunotherapeutics for their modulatory activity on the phenotype and function of M2 macrophages.
Syngeneic tumor models are becoming invaluable for preclinical development and evaluation of immuno-based therapies. They are primordial for tumor model characterization and selection of the appropriate ones, for target validation, drug development, and assessment of the efficacy potential of drug candidates.
Explicyte is planning a new in vivo shuttle session by early March, thereby providing an opportunity to cost-effectively assess your drug candidates in our well-suited immunocompetent syngeneic subcutaneously-implanted tumor models.
Explicyte set up and validated a robust real-time neutrophil migration assay, which allows for time-lapse monitoring and analysis of chemotactic driven neutrophil migration across an optically clear filter membrane.
Eurostars, a European joint programme, co-funded from the national budgets of several EUREKA countries and by the European Union through Horizon 2020 has awarded, through a highly-competitive selection process, the Project “A novel modified natural killer (NK) cell immunotherapy for the treatment of solid tumours” – MODIFY-NK.
In view of the success of our previous shuttle sessions, which offered the opportunity to run efficacy studies in a cost-saving manner, we are planning a new shuttle on the orthotopic (OT) 4T1 mammary fat pad mouse model, which will be held in late March.
Modulation of the immune system function aiming at enhancing the responsiveness potential of immune cells is one of the current promising challenges in cancer immunotherapy. Modulating the mechanisms underlying immune cell activation is key for the development of innovative approaches to promote immune function and tackle tumor progression.
Explicyte is proud to announce the recent development and validation of our new syngeneic subcutaneously-implanted MCA-205 sarcoma tumor mouse model.
While known and validated as non-responsive to conventional immune checkpoint inhibitors, our OT syngeneic mammary tumor model, which represents an aggressive model of human breast carcinoma, is characterized by the presence of at least two types of tumor-infiltrating immunosuppressive cells – myeloid suppressive cells (MSC) and T regulatory cells (Treg).
