Lymphoid Organ-Chip
Recapitulate human vaccine and adjuvant responses
The Lymphoid Organ-Chip is a Guided Model that Emulate has firsthand experience developing and supporting. It can be created using a Basic Research Kit and a user’s own cell sources. For Guided Models, Emulate offers guidelines and field scientist support to build a Lymphoid Organ-Chip using the Human Emulation System.

Organ-on-a-Chip Technology, Organ-Chip Overview
In vivo-like lymph node functionality
The Lymphoid Organ-Chip model supports the formation of lymphoid follicles with functional germinal centers similar to those found in secondary and tertiary lymphoid organs in vivo, enabling researchers to recapitulate human vaccine and adjuvant responses.

3D Follicle Formation
Dynamic flow on-chip stimulates the assembly of large 3D multicellular aggregates.

Antigen-Specific Antibody Generation
Lymphoid Organ-Chips demonstrate significant anti-HA antibody generation following treatment with inactivated H5N1 virus.
Clinically Relevant Cytokine Production
The Lymphoid Organ-Chip displays clinically relevant levels of cytokines that are important for T cell expansion, survival, and helper functions.
Captures Donor-to-Donor Variability
Eight different human donors all produced anti-HA antibodies at detectable levels, with subsets of high and low responders identified.

Assess Responses to mRNA Vaccines
Myeloid cells capture and express mRNA vectored by lipid nanoparticles, enabling assessment of mRNA vaccines.

Neutralizing Antibody Production
Neutralizing antibody production against the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein has shown to be achieved after a culture duration of just six days.
The Lymphoid Organ-Chip design consists of a high-density 3D human PBMC culture within an ECM gel in the lower channel, while media and antigens are flowed in the upper channel of the chip.
