Immuno-oncology harnesses the inherent capabilities of the host immune system to combat cancer. The intrinsic complexity of the immune system and its involvement in a multitude of fundamental physiological processes, demands the application of a wide range of scientific tools that can provide an in-depth insight into immune function. The Omni live-cell imaging systems shed light on dynamic interactions between immune and tumor cells, allowing for easy observation of complex biology.
With immuno-oncology assays on our live-cell imaging platform:
- >> Visualize interactions between immune and tumor cell cocultures in real time
- >> Perform automated multi-well assays to measure potency of cell-based immunotherapies
- >> Characterize morphology, proliferation, and viability of immune and cancer cells
- >> Gain a deeper insight into immune cell killing using brightfield and fluorescence imaging
Visualize interactions between immune and tumor cell cocultures in real time
Cellular interplay between immune and tumor cells represents the core of many immunotherapeutic approaches. Spatial and temporal interactions can be captured in real time with the live-cell imaging platforms.
Induced tumor and macrophage cell interactions were observed in vitro using the Lux3 FL. In this experiment the lasting overlap interactions of macrophages and tumor cells were found to be, in fact, not phagocytic in nature.
