FUNCTIONAL IN VITRO IMMUNOASSAY

摘要

The invention relates to a method for the in vitro investigation of the effect of substances in in vivo processes and an in vitro detection method for the identification of immunomodulating compounds and/or the detection of the effect of immunomodulating compounds and the identification of apoptosis-inducing and/or necrosis-inducing compounds mediated by the immune system in in vivo processes. The methods according to the invention are particularly suitable for investigating effects of substances on cells, which are mediated by the immune system. Furthermore, the method according to the invention is suitable for in vitro monitoring of the in vivo effects before, during and/or after the administration of immunomodulating compounds and of apoptosis-inducing and/or necrosis-inducing compounds.
