Semi-Automation Of A Non-Radioactive Antibody-Dependent Cell-Mediated Cytotoxicity (ADCC) Assay (Part I)
We describe the use of a non-radioactive, bioluminescent Antibody-Dependent Cell- Mediated Cytotoxicity (ADCC) assay. The protocol is a simple sequential addition of reagents and cells that can be readily automated with a simple, inexpensive pipetting station.

Skip Steps In Cell Culturing
With Cell Culture Flask Adapters, the culture can be centrifuged directly in the flask. Data illustrates that cell yield, cell viability, and endpoint analysis results are comparable when cell cultures are processed traditionally or centrifuged directly in the flask using Cell Culture Flask Adapters.
