Profiling a Structure Activity Relationship (SAR) Library for Immunological Activity in Human PBMCs
5 Apr 2018Immunotherapy has the potential of affecting – positively and negatively – the interactions among cells and signaling molecules regulating the immune system. This poster highlights a no-wash high throughput screen of a Structure Activity Relationship (SAR) expansion library of immune-modulatory compounds using a PBMC-based assay. The multiplexing capabilities of the IntelliCyt iQue Screener platform allowed for multiple, immune-relevant parameters to be gathered in a single plate read thus generating activity profiles that can be used for identifying viable therapeutic candidates.

High-Throughput ScreeningHigh-throughput screening (HTS) is an automated drug discovery technique for identification of active compounds against a compound library. Use HTS readers and integrated assay preparation / analysis workstations to screen your compounds. Identify active compounds against various HTS libraries, including membranes, proteins and peptides and HTS cell lines. Find the best high-throughput screening products in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.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.Cell-Based AssaysCell-based assays are used to monitor the presence, quantity and activities of a desired cellular analyte including drug molecules or biomarkers. This can reveal information on cell health (apoptosis, cytotoxicity, viability and proliferation assays), cell metabolism, cell migration and cell signaling mechanisms. Find the best cell-based assay products, kits and equipment with our peer reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receiving pricing direct from manufacturers.Library GenerationLibrary generation refers to the construction of NGS libraries from RNA and DNA sources.High ThroughputHigh throughput experiments allow the simultaneous processing of several samples. This parallelization reduces the cost per experiment and increases reproducibility and output volume of data.Flow CytometryCell Based AssaysCell-based assays use living cells to measure biological responses to various treatments or stimuli. They are essential for drug discovery, toxicology testing, and understanding cellular mechanisms. These assays are used to assess cell viability, proliferation, gene expression, and other cellular activities.
