The invention provides a culture device comprising a plurality of culture units, wherein each unit comprises a culture chamber, an inlet port for liquid supply of the culture and an outlet port for discharging liquid from the unit, wherein the inlet port is in fluid communication with the culture chamber and the culture chamber is in fluid communication with the outlet port for allowing a liquid flow through the culture chamber. The culture device is particularly suitable for testing immune cells and immunofunction in vitro. Aspects of the invention include a culture device and associated methods for cultivating immune cells and an in vitro method of analysing the effect of a test compound on immune cells.

Culture system and method for immunogenicity and immunofunction testing in vitro

The invention relates to a method for the non-invasive selection of single living cells under gentle conditions from mixtures of cells or cell cultures with respect to a specific production performance. To this end, the concentration of substances produced by the individual cells which become enriched at the cell membrane, such as reporter gene products (GFP) or specifically secreted products, such as antibodies, is determined by fluorescence-microscopic detection methods.
