To test the role of innate
immune response in the mouse model of ALS, the researchers focused on Toll - like receptors (TLR), which are important sensors for innate immunity.

Hypothesis driven approaches to vaccinology can utilise the knowledge gained from mechanistic
mouse models and our molecular understanding of intrinsic defects to human cells.5 However, caution is required when extrapolating data from murine

Our technological expertise ranges from the most fundamental approaches to study membrane transport
in lymphocytes and dendritic cells (subcellular compartmentalization, intravital microscopy, phagosomal functions), the systematic analysis of gene expression and it regulation (RNAseq, Chip Seq, proteomics) and physiological and pathological

mouse models for cancer immunity, immunomodulation / vaccination, human clinical studies
in cancer).
We chose this
model because 1) it more closely recapitulates features of human pancreatic cancer than do s.c. - implanted tumors, 2) it can be used
in immunocompetent
mice to permit assessment of
immune responses, and 3) the cells grow
in vivo with predictable kinetics (34).
