The product will be showcased at the upcoming 34th Congress of the International Society for Advancement of Cytometry (CYTO) in Vancouver, Canada from June 22 to 26.

Over the last decade, scientists have advanced their understanding of immune cell function in many contexts, including cancer. Progress, however, has been slow because identification of immune cell functional signatures requires time consuming processes that average individual cell behaviors and interactions.

“Analysis of T cell function has largely been based on assessing the activity of an entire population of cells, which reduces the resolution of our results,” said Alan Ashworth, PhD, FRS, president of the Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center. “Deeper insights are needed to let us see differences that enable us to draw more informed conclusions about T cell function. This will improve our understanding of cancer immunotherapeutics.”

The Lightning platform allows scientists to easily visualize phenotype and perform functional analysis ...
