Dose Response of Effect of Levocetirizine on Eosinophil Adhesion
22 Oct 2012In this application note the effect of levocetirizine on human eosinophil adhesion to VCAM-1 and BSA is assessed. Using Cellix’s biochips and Mirus pumping system, eosinophil adhesion to rhVCAM-1 and the dose response effect of levocetirizine on GM-CSF-stimulated eosinophil adhesion to rhVCAM-1 under physiological flow conditions is investigated.

The pressures/vacuums generated are determined by the type of pump used. High vacuum pumps include diffusion, ion, roots and turbopumps; for primary/medium vacuum applications see rotary vane pumps, scroll & diaphragm pumps. For the positive displacement of liquids explore a range of syringe and peristaltic pumps, as well as fluid aspirators.
