xCELLigence RTCA biosensor technology

Measure immune cell-mediated killing in real timexCELLigence RTCA biosensor technology provides a label-free, robust, and simple workflow, enabling measurement of diverse effector cells and molecules for cytotoxicity.It is a platform for more sensitive in vitro potency assessment that helps mimic activities in vivo.

Live cell imaging

Live cell imaging now availableWith the newxCELLigence eSight, live cell imaging and real-time biosensor measurements can be performed on the same cell populations, which provides important information on cell behavior.

Cell Index plot

More accurate and reproducible cytolytic dataIn the figure above, cytolysis of target PC3 (prostate) cancer cells by NK92 effector cells are continuously measured on the xCELLigence system for 48 hours, starting at effector-to-target ratios as low as 0.625:1.

xCELLigence Real-Time Cell Analysis (RTCA)

Quantify dynamic cell behavior that can be missed by labor-intensive endpoint methods to gain a more comprehensive measure of cancer cell killing, including potential escape phenotypes.

New quantitative methods to monitor immune cell behavior in vitro.

Choice of T cell signaling domains impacts metabolic programming differentially

Both glycolysis and mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation shape T cell activation and effector function.Glycolysis drives a robust, short-lived effector phenotype.In contrast, OXPHOS and fatty acid metabolism tunes persistence and sustained T cell memory formation.

Injection of anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 beads

Open an early window to detect T cell activation responses within minutes of stimulation by measuring glycolytic extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) in real time.Learn more

NovoCyte and Quanteon flow cytometers

High-performance benchtop flow cytometers designed for all levels of users.For quick and accurate immunophenotyping with up to 25 channels of fluorescence using the most sensitive silicon photomultiplier detector technology on the market.Experience the new standard in flow cytometry.

Cell proliferation diagram

Monitor T-cell expansion, compound toxicity, drug effects on tumor cell growth, immune cell behavior under different conditions, and much more.

NovoCyte software has a built-in module for cell proliferation modeling, which is shown in the diagram above.It identifies each generation of cell division, and then calculates the proliferation index.

Above, we show a 18-color pan-leukocyte immunophenotyping panel on PBMCs using the NovoCyte Quanteon, adapted from OMIP-024 (Cytometry Part A, 85A:995-998, 2014).This panel was designed to monitor different immune subsets with activation and differentiation markers.

必威体育登录手机Agilent SureGuide chemically synthesized sgRNAs

必威体育登录手机Agilent chemically synthesized guide RNAs facilitate the full potential of CRISPR for cellular engineering and immunotherapy.

These long, high quality, chemically synthesized single guide RNAs are ideal for CRISPR-based cell engineering.We offer customization options, such as modifications to increase stability and specificity, for consistent results and robust, novel therapeutics development.Small-scale research grade manufacturing and large-scale GMP manufacturing capabilities result in an end-to-end solution for your cell engineering needs–from research through clinical trials, providing quality and reliability you can depend on.

RNA

Proprietary chemistries enable the synthesis of long, high purity sgRNAs.This process facilitates the scalable manufacturing of highly pure sgRNAs, affords unique options for sgRNA design, and precise installation of molecular functionality to augment CRISPR-Cas performance.

HBB gene

Customization options include the ability to add modifications to increase stability and specificity for more consistent results.For example, adding a single modification at either position 5 or 11 of the hemoglobin subunit beta (HBB) guide RNA sequence dramatically reduced the level of off-target activity while maintaining a high level of activity at the on-target site.
