Inflammation

 

SBH Sciences is offering In-Vitro models for Inflammation and Fibrosis [NASH]

 

SBH Sciences is offering several In-Vitro inflammation models. The first model is based on utilization of human PBMC and the secretion of human TNF-alpha as a result of LPS stimulation.

Effect of GR-MD-02 on cell culture model of macrophages: THP-1 cells treated with phorbol ester and endotoxin

nash3

Expression of MCP-1 is reduced in dose dependent fashion in two separate GMP lots of GR-MD-02 while viability of THP-1 cells is maintained (compared to N-lactosamine—LacNac)

Note: We have shown that Galectin-3 is expressed in THP-1 cells. There is also a reduction in TNF-alpha and IL-8 with treatment.
