Astarte Biologics

Astarte Biologics provides human and animal cells and antigens for immune system research. Our human PBMC and monocytes are HLA-typed and performance tested. We also provide cells and reagents for inflammation research such as HUVEC, a kit to measure E-Selectin and bovine chondrocytes. See our HUVEC and Chondrocyte pages.

Astarte Biologics is here to provide you with the tools you need to explore the immune system. Buy well-characterized PBMC and monocytes and antigens such as tetanus toxoid, CMV and M1 peptide from Astarte and you won't need to screen donors or search high and low to find recall antigens. Astarte puts it together for you so that you can move on to new discoveries.

Astarte Biologics overcomes some of these barriers so that the study of the human immune system is easier than before. Our Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells come from donors who have been tested for blood-borne pathogens and HLA typed. Buying reagents from Astarte will also save you time. All of our reagents have been tested and titrated for use in vitro with our PBMC. Not only can you find what you need, it is ready to use so you can get on with discovery.
