Call for seminar participants｜Progress in alternative technologies to animal experiments in the field of immunology – New options for drug safety testing using human cells

We have developed the human monocyte activation test (MAT test) as an alternative method test to the pyrogen test using animals. As human immune cells are used, cytokine production can be detected and the presence or absence of pyrogeneous substances can be assessed. It is also beginning to be used for other purposes, such as the safety evaluation of vaccines and medical devices and the evaluation of the immunostimulatory effects of foods.

Two types of seminars will be held sponsored by Leave a Nest Co., Ltd.

①Online Introduction Seminar

(Introduction of MylcMAT as a novel technology to replace animal testing)

②MylcMAT Hands-on Seminar

(Lecture and hands-on experience of detection methods using actual kits)
