The NovoCyte Penteon flow cytometer builds on its successful predecessor, the NovoCyte, and provides an expanded set of capabilities that accommodate today’s high-end and increasingly sophisticated multi-color flow cytometry assays. You now have the flexibility to choose from up to 30 fluorescence channels utilizing up to 5 lasers with up to 30 independent detectors. The NovoSampler Q can be integrated into different laboratory automation platforms and efficiently processes both FACS tubes (using a 40-tube rack) and 24-, 48-, 96-, and 384-well plates. The intuitive and industry-leading NovoExpress software has been further advanced, providing an exceptional user experience in data acquisition, analysis, and reporting.
Comprehensive immunophenotyping of peripheral human whole blood
Multiparameter flow cytometry is a powerful tool to monitor and characterize immune cell subsets. High-dimensional analysis of immune cells provides in-depth information on the state of the immune system at homeostasis or in response to stimulation. In this application note, learn more about a 24-color immunophenotyping panel for the five-laser Agilent NovoCyte Penteon flow cytometer which was designed for human peripheral blood to characterize the major immune cell subsets, providing a comprehensive overview of immune cell status.
Rewiring the metabolism of CAR-T cells
Join Professor Mercedes Rincon, University of Colorado Anschutz School of Medicine, as she discusses the groundbreaking advancements in adoptive T cell therapy, particularly chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy. While CAR-T therapy has achieved impressive complete remission rates in 60–90% of patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (r/r-B-ALL), challenges such as treatment failures and relapses remain significant obstacles.
Metabolism plays a critical role in T cell function, shaping immune responses. While glycolysis is essential for T cell expansion, it can restrict the self-renewal capacity of CAR-T cells during manufacturing. Mitochondrial respiration is vital for their survival and effectiveness. Recent findings have highlighted MCJ, a protein that negatively regulates mitochondrial function in CD8 cells. Loss of MCJ enhances mitochondrial respiration, cytokine secretion, and anti-tumor activity. Targeting MCJ to boost mitochondrial metabolism presents a promising strategy to enhance the efficacy of CAR-T cells and advance adoptive T cell therapies.
Key learning objectives
- Understand the current landscape of adoptive T-cell therapy
- Explain the role of metabolism in T cell function, highlighting the significance of glycolysis and mitochondrial respiration in enhancing CAR-T cell efficacy
- Identify the potential of MCJ as a therapeutic target to improve mitochondrial metabolism, cytokine secretion, and overall effectiveness of CAR-T cell therapies
