ImmuPHAGE™ can help users to understand the effects chemicals have in the deep lung, an important advantage over other products which are limited to only showing cells to be alive or dead. This immune model is useful for application in a range of sectors, including cosmetics, tobacco, fragrances, agri-chemicals, and pharmaceuticals, as well as academic researchers who want to better understand human lung responses.
Various products can be tested on ImmuPHAGE™ for health risks, generating a realistic impression of how they affect human lungs .
For example, ImmuONE’s models can provide a detailed understanding of the immune processes found in the small airways, including particle clearance, inflammation response, and changes in cell function (e.g. foamy macrophages).
In some cases, the patented technology can completely eliminate the need for animal testing, whereas in others, it can dramatically reduce the number of animals that need to be tested upon.
