General Objective (Technical Description):Evaluating the expression of immunity markers.
Description: This service is developed specifically for evaluating quantitative changes in the main markers and cytokines of the innate (C3, IFN-αand IFN-γ) and adaptive (CD4, CD8, IFN-γ, IL-10 and TGF-β) immune systems in response to different treatments or vaccinations.
The service includes:
- Sample taking
- Marker quantification
- Results analysis performed by an immunologist:
- Mónica Imarai.
- Ana María Sandino.
- Beatriz Valenzuela.
Applications:
- In-depth study of vaccines by evaluating the stimulus of the adaptive immune system.
- Evaluation of infection kinetics.
- Evaluation of diets that boost the immune system.
- Distinguishing the fish’s genetic immune system response from that generated by immunostimulants or vaccines.
- Supplementary tool for the vaccines’ after-sales.
Status: The service is available. For a price quote please contact camila.wilkens@usach.cl.
