POSTER DOWNLOAD: Evaluating T-Cell activation by multiplexing immunophenotyping and cytokine profiling

Recent advances in our ability to modulate T-cell activity for therapeutic benefit, has created a need for improved monitoring of immune cell function and activation. Currently used methods to analyze T-cell activation (TCA) involve evaluating cell types and functions with a multitude of assays, all of which are costly, time consuming and complex.

Furthermore, running these assays separately creates challenges with respect to correlating data outputs. Download this scientific poster to learn how these challenges can be overcome by simultaneously evaluating cell phenotype, T cell activation markers, cell proliferation, cell viability and secreted cytokines in a single well, using a miniaturized assay format.

Cellular PathologyCellular Pathology deals with the microscopic analysis of tissue samples and cells. Sample preparation and processing includes fixation, staining, sectioning and slide mounting, using equipment such microtomes and cryostats. In choosing immunohistochemistry and immunocytochemistry kits, consider chromogens, staining method, antibodies, microscopes and imaging.Clinical ChemistryBiochemistry (or clinical chemistry) involves the analysis of bodily fluids using chemical tests. Techniques used include HPLC, chromatography, spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, immunochemical, electrophoresis, turbidometric / spectrophotometric assay, MRI and ISE analysis. Tests are often carried out on plasma or serum but urine (urinalysis) and fecal specimens are also processed.ImmunologyImmunological techniques measure and characterize immune responses. Immunology kits and analysis systems often use techniques such as ELISA, radioimmunoassay (RIA) and immunodiffusion assays, Immunohistochemistry, and flow cytometry. Immunologists use equipment such as flow Cytometers, plate readers, plate washers and fluorescent microscopes.Cancer DiagnosticsThere are a wide variety of diagnostic tests for cancer available, and this range continues to expand as our knowledge of cancer improves. Current diagnostic methods include biopsy, imaging and blood tests for known biomarkers. New methods in research development include liquid biopsies and cancer breathalyzers.Flow CytometryImmunotherapyImmunotherapy is a treatment approach that utilizes the body�s immune system to fight diseases, especially cancer. It includes therapies such as monoclonal antibodies, checkpoint inhibitors, and CAR-T cell therapy. Immunotherapy is a rapidly growing area of research in oncology and autoimmune diseases.
