CellRapeutics™ Phagocytosis Assay Service

Phagocytosis serves as a cornerstone of innate immunity and is increasingly recognized as a critical effector mechanism in modern immunotherapy, particularly for its role in eliminating malignant cells and maintaining tissue homeostasis. Creative Biolabs' CellRapeutics™ Phagocytosis Assay Service provides a robust, high-throughput platform designed to quantitatively evaluate this complex biological process, enabling the precise assessment of therapeutic candidates such as therapeutic antibodies, "don't eat me" signal blockers, and macrophage-polarizing agents. We ensure the generation of highly reliable and reproducible data that accurately reflects the dynamic interactions between phagocytes and their targets, empowering you to confidently streamline their drug discovery pipeline and ultimately accelerating the development of novel immunotherapies.

Introduction

Phagocytosis is a fundamental cellular process by which specialized immune cells, such as macrophages, recognize, engulf, and degrade target particles including pathogens, apoptotic cells, and malignant cells. This process plays a critical role in maintaining tissue homeostasis, orchestrating innate immune responses, and mediating anti-tumor immunity by efficiently clearing aberrant cells and modulating the immune microenvironment. Given its pivotal function in both physiological and pathological contexts, the accurate assessment of phagocytic activity through robust phagocytosis assays is essential for evaluating macrophage function, screening therapeutic agents, and developing novel immunotherapeutic strategies aimed at enhancing phagocytic efficacy against cancers.
