PharmaOnco™ Woodchuck PBMCs

CAT#: IC-LX030
Product Type: OncoImmune Cells
Cell Type: PBMC
Species: Woodchuck
Short Description
Creative Biolabs offers Woodchuck PBMCs for a wide variety of immunology-based applications, including in-vitro immunoassays.
Description
Woodchuck PBMCs, or peripheral blood mononuclear cells, are white blood cells that are typically isolated from the blood of woodchucks. These cells play a crucial role in the immune system and can be used in research studies to study the immune response to various pathogens or diseases. Woodchuck PBMCs are particularly valuable for studying hepatitis B virus infection.
Species character
Woodchucks used for research purposes are mostly caught out in the wild and outbred. Some are already infected with woodchuck herpes virus (WHV), while are others are not. However, some commercial laboratories have established in-house woodchuck colonies.
WHV is an ideal model to study the pathogenesis and therapy of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis D virus (HDV), which makes woodchuck the most commonly used animal model for the study of these viruses. Research on HBV using the WHV model focuses on disease and viral pathogenesis, in addition to prevention and treatment of HBV infection.
Background
PBMCs stand for peripheral blood mononuclear cells. These are a type of white blood cells found in the bloodstream that play a crucial role in the immune response. PBMCs are often used in research studies to investigate immune function and response to different stimuli.

Mycoplasma Testing
The cell line has been screened using the luciferase based mycoplasma detection kit to confirm the absence of mycoplasma species.
Sterility Testing
Creative Biolabs provides sterility testing in accordance with USP and EP regulations. All of our sterility testing is performed in an isolator or clean room environments. The cell line has been screened using the membrane filtration testing methods to confirm the absence of aerobic, anaerobic and fungi microorganisms.
Genetic Stability Testing
We perform cell genetic stability studies under ICH guidelines. We can provide guidance on the appropriate testing program upon your requirements.
Application
Immunotherapy Discovery and Development
Research Use Only
Our immune cell are for research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use.
Quality Control
Cultures are screened for the presence of bacteries, yeast, fungi and mycoplasma (DNA amplification). Growth media are also certified based on U.S. Public Health Service Guidelines.
Storage
Lyophilized cells should be stored in a liquid nitrogen tank (-150°C~-190°C). After thawing, cells should be immediately transferred to the appropriate culture medium and maintained under recommended culture conditions.
Handling Notes
Frozen cells should be thawed immediately upon receipt and grown according to handling procedure to ensure cell viability and proper assay performance.
Note: Do not freeze the cells upon receipt as it may result in irreversible damage to the cell line.
Disclaimer: We cannot guarantee cell viability if the cells are not thawed immediately upon receipt and grown according to handling procedure.
Warnings
Avoid multiple freeze/thaw cycles
