Characterization of Antigen-Specific Naive and Memory T Cell Subsets
6 Feb 2019Infection-related mortality is a considerable clinical challenge in immunocompromised individuals. Pathogenspecific T cells are crucial mediators of immune protection as shown for example by adoptive transfer of antigenspecific T cells. However, for both predicting or diagnosing infectious complications as well as for the development of effective therapies it is crucial to have reliable methods to phenotypically and functionally characterize the antigenspecific T cells.

Flow Cytometry / Cell CountingFlow cytometers are used to count, sort and examine multiple characteristics of cells. Other cell analysis equipment includes image cytometers, cell counters, fluorescence-activated cell sorters (FACS), magnetic-activated cell sorters (MACS), and a range of flow cytometry assay kits. Flow cytometers can reveal information on cell viability, cell proliferation, apoptosis and cell cycle progression, as well as identify cell populations and intracellular or cell-surface molecules. Additionally, some flow cytometers, known as FACS, have an additional sorting function after analysis. Cell counters and image cytometers count live and dead cell populations and can also conduct cell proliferation assays. Find the best flow cytometers, cell counters and cell sorters 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.ImmunophenotypingT Cells
