Evaluation of Large Antibody Panels in Single-Cell Genomic Immunophenotyping of Fresh and Frozen Human Leukocytes

Evaluation of Large Antibody Panels in Single-Cell Genomic Immunophenotyping of Fresh and Frozen Human Leukocytes

Speaker: Dr. Jasmine Ying-Jiun Chen
Dr. Chen will share Abiosciences’ effort in evaluating BioLegend’s TotalSeq™-C Human Universal Cocktail using the 10x Genomics single-cell platform on fresh and frozen PBMCs. This includes bioinformatics pipelines to compare the quality control metrics, isotype matched control performance, and cell subtype analyses. Advanced visualization and analysis tools were developed to interrogate the data in a flow cytometry paradigm, including complex gating strategies to identify rare cell subtypes. The pilot study is being expanded to larger scale clinical settings and may help characterize important cell populations that are associated with disease status, pharmacodynamics, and therapeutic response.

Cell Painting – A Practical Approach

Cell Painting – A Practical Approach

Speaker: Joe Trask, North America HCS Product Line Leader, Cellular Imaging and Analysis, PerkinElmer, and Alexander Schreiner Team Leader, Biological Applications Team, PerkinElmer, Hamburg, Germany
Cell Painting is a phenotypic screening method and a powerful application of high-content screening technology. Specific cellular compartments and organelles are simultaneously stained with six fluorescent probes, followed by imaging and analysis to extract hundreds to thousands of features to phenotypically profile the cells and gain a deeper understanding of the effects of chemical, drug, or genetic perturbagens.

AccuCheck ERF Reference Particles: Easy to Use Flow Cytometry Intensity Reference with Accurate NIST-Assigned Values

AccuCheck ERF Reference Particles: Easy to Use Flow Cytometry Intensity Reference with Accurate NIST-Assigned Values

Adam W. York, Ph.D. Sr. Staff Scientist in Chemistry R&D at Thermo Fisher Scientific
A study initiated by the International Society for the Advancement of Flow Cytometry (ISAC) found that microspheres with assigned MESF (molecules of equivalent soluble fluorophore) values were not always accurate and differed considerably from one manufacturer to another. To address these inconsistencies, the ERF (equivalent reference fluorophore) intensity unit was introduced by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
