CTRC Core Laboratory Services support IRB-approved protocols for clinical research with a wide range of protocols requiring analysis of the function and phenotype of immunologic cells. Our focus is specialized immunologic assays relevant to immunity and inflammation and not clinical diagnostic assays. The NJH lab provides a resource for storage of multiple cell tissue samples, technical consultation, assay development, training for CTRC investigators, staff, visiting physicians, and students. Available assays/procedures include but are not limited to DNA/RNA extraction from blood and other tissues, cell isolation/culture, proliferation assays, ELISA, Elispot, CD4+ and dendritic cell isolation, serum/plasma isolation, cell staining, differential cell counts, flow cytometry, and BAL processing.
