Institiute. of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), Rockville, MD, November 19 . While there is no industry-accepted protocol for measuring the functionality of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), it’s an important test that should be conducted for quality control. We needed a reliable, reproducible way to measure the functionality of our cryopreserved PBMC, so we developed a custom assay using recall antigens to understand the in vitro activity of our cells. By testing PBMC for immune response to several different antigens over time, we intended to better understand an acceptable range of variation in recall response from PBMC samples from the same donor over time.

Homeostasis, or a "steady state," is a continual balancing act of the body systems to provide an internal environment that is comparable with life. The two liquid tissues of the body, the blood and lymph have separate but interrelated functions in maintaining this balance. They combine with a third system, the immune, to protect the body against pathogens that could threaten the organism's viability. .
