High-Throughput Multiplexed Inflammation Assay Using Primary Cells
Molecular Devices

An important event in the inflammation response is the expression of cell-surface antigens that facilitate binding of immune cells to blood vessels. The ability to monitor up-regulation of these molecules, such as VCAM, E-selectin, and HLADR on endothelial cells provides an important physiological read-out for cell-based models of inflammation.
