Cells for Alternative Pyrogen Testing, 2016 MiCAN Technologies is a startup that uses regenerative medicine technologies of Kumamoto University. MiCAN Technologies manufactures homogeneous and precise human blood cells such as immature dendritic cells for use of basic infectious disease research. To improve animal welfare, there is increasing demand for alternatives to replace bio-material (like rabbits) in pyrogen tests with human cells or PBMC. However, alternatives can’t detect all type of bacteria, have been expensive and have not had reliable supply. MiCAN Technologies has created a new type of Monocyte Activation Test(MAT) with an immature dendritic cell using its unique technology, which can detect all type of bacteria very sensitively.
