Techniques, methods & infrastructure

• Immunohistology, including immunofluorescence microscopy and Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH)
• FACS (including intracellular cytokine staining)
• Cell isolation from various organs by flow cytometry (up to single-cell sorting) or microbeads
• Cell culture and functional assays with low input cell numbers (including cytokine stimulation, proliferation assays, migration assays, cytotoxicity assays)
• ELISA
• Quantitative RT-PCR
• Single cell sequencing in cooperation with CeMM
