Expert insights
Alongside intense efforts to exploit T-cells as immunotherapies for cancer (e.g. checkpoint inhibitors, CAR-T, T cell metabolism), researchers are increasingly considering other immune cell types for novel targets. One example is the enhancement of macrophage function via inhibitors of CD47 “don’t-eat-me” signaling proteins, enabling tumor cells to evade clearance by neighboring phagocytes. In order to identify new CD47 and phagocyte modulators, novel, direct and validated assays with throughput commensurate to drug discovery are required.
REGISTER NOWIn this webinar, learn how:
- Real-time live-cell analysis using pH-sensitive fluorescent probe-labeled target cells can be used to visualize and quantify phagocytosis.
- You can share data on the pro-phagocytic effects of anti-CD47 antibodies.
- Other live-cell phenotypic assays (e.g. apoptosis, proliferation) are used to validate mechanisms of action.
The webinar will take place on Thursday, August 15, 2019, at:
- 16:00 BST
- 11:00 EDT
- 08:00 PDT

AntibodiesAntibodies are used in techniques such as confocal and fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, ELISA, ELISPOT, immunohistochemistry, western blotting and immunopreciptation. Select specific antigen reactivity, high specific affinity, low non-specific binding, monoclonal or polyclonal, primary or secondary antibodies and associated conjugates such as an enzyme or dye for visualization.Cell / Tissue CultureCell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins.
