Blood Products

ABI’s blood products are prepared directly from donor blood. Both fresh and cryopreserved PBMC, lymphocyte, and monocyte/macrophage preparations are available.
Blood, isolated blood cells, and certain tissues are offered for use in infectious disease research. Blood products, such as whole human blood and RBC’s, are available fresh on a per-order basis. Other isolated blood cell products, such as human mononuclear cells, are available as frozen cell ampules and as cultures.

Human Monocytes and Macrophages

Advanced Biotechnologies Inc offers both purified monocyte cell suspensions and macrophage cultures derived from circulating blood monocytes. Given the limited availability of whole human tissue for isolation of macrophages and the heterogeneity of these cells in different tissues, circulating human blood monocytes offer the best source material for establishing macrophage cultures. Using our integrated technologies of cell separation by centrifugal elutriation (separating cells by size using counter-flow centrifugal separation) and macrophage and lymphocyte culture techniques, ABI provides purified and characterized cell suspensions and cultures for research applications. Cryopreserved ampules of purified monocytes are available as a flexible, proven alternative to fresh cultures. Large lots from individual donors are available on a reserve basis.

Monocyte Product Disclaimer: Product variances may result from donor characteristics, including overall donor health, blood draw timing, and other conditions. Variances may include cell counts and cell viability and are NOT the responsibility of ABI. Variation in laboratory technique, methods, equipment, and testing materials (i.e., Human AB sera, cytokines, etc.), may create unexpected differences in individual cell performance.

Human Interleukin 2

ABI has been a long-standing industry supplier of purified, natural human interleukin-2. Our IL-2 is produced from human mixed-lymphocyte cultures and purified by a series of column chromatography steps. IL-2 is assayed for biological activity by MTS bioassay (cell proliferation) and by long-term T-cell growth assay using human peripheral blood mononuclear cells.
