Demonstrating restoration of T cell function in exhausted T cells with IKZF3 small molecule inhibitor, Lenalidomide
21 Feb 2023T cells can develop an exhausted phenotype as a result of prolonged antigen stimulation. This exhausted phenotype can occur in both CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T cells and has been shown to develop within the tumor microenvironment as a potential mechanism by which tumor cells can escape immune surveillance.
In this poster, Malvern Panalytial describes an in vitro human exhausted T cell model that can be used as a valuable tool to assess the ability of candidate immuno-oncology therapeutics to rescue an exhausted T cell phenotype, restore T cell function, and permit tumor cell clearance. In addition to efficacy of anti-PD-1 treatment, the ability of an inhibitor of a novel target to restore effector T cell function is demonstrated.

ELISAEnzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), also known as enzyme immunoassays (EIA), are used for the detection and quantification of proteins, peptides and antibodies in a sample. ELISA often comes in kit format, with pre-selected antibody pairs to detect specific proteins or biomarkers of diseases such as diabetes and obesity, or cardiovascular and neurological disorders. Detection is made possible with chemiluminescent, fluorescent or colorimetric substrates and detection instruments such as microplate / ELISA readers. Other kits available include: Enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISPOT) assays for the quantification of protein-producing cells and chemiluminescent immunoassays (CLIA) kits. Find the best ELISA kits and 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.
