Immunobiology
The focus of the Immunbiology Laboratory is immune receptor biology and how this relates to the molecular mechanisms involved in autoimmune disease and cancer.

About the laboratory
The Immunobiological Laboratory produces monoclonal antibodies and reporter cell lines, and work with experimental models for autoimmune diseases, infection and bone marrow transplantation.
In particular, the laboratory has a long tradition for natural killer (NK) cell studies, and represents an expertise on receptors triggering and inhibiting the NK-cell killer response.
Research on T cells, B cells, dendritic cells, macrophages, neutrophils and osteoclasts in the context of autoimmune and inflammatory disease is also an important focus for the laboratory.
Our facilities are specialized for immune cell work with sterile cell incubation facilities, flow cytometry, functional immune cell assays and other standard molecular methods.
The Immunbiological Laboratory consists of five research groups

International meetings
The immunobiological laboratory organized two international meetings in 2023:
Molecular control of immune cell activation (Kabelvåg, 24-28 August 2023)
NK 2023. Society for Natural Immunity 20th Meeting (Oslo, 26-29 September 2023)
Flow Cytometry Core Facility
We are part of the Gaustad node of the UiO/OUS Flow Cytometry Core Facility and host a state-of-the-art SONY ID7000 Spectral Cell Analyzer equipped with 5 lasers.
For online booking of the SONY ID7000, please register in the core facility booking system and indicate either 'UiO' or 'OUS' in the organization information to specify where your project account belongs.
We also host an Imagestream X MkII, as well as a FACS Calibur equipped with 2 lasers and a FACS Canto II equipped with 3 lasers.
