Evaluation of Nanofluidics Technology for High-Throughput SNP Genotyping in a Clinical Setting

There is a need for high-throughput genotyping platforms for targeted validation of disease-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Researchers used DNA extracted from peripheral blood and buccal wash samples to evaluate the use of microfluidic technology versus TaqMan® with traditional sequencing.

Single-cell gene expression profiling reveals qualitatively distinct CD8 T cells elicited by different gene-based vaccines

Understanding the mechanism of protective immunity mediated by CDS T cells is dependent upon the definition of heterogeneity, and understanding of immune responses generated by different vaccines. Researchers identified previously unrecognized subsets of CD8 T cells with gene expression patterns of single cells and showed that they are differentially induced by different vaccines.

Fluidigm and BD Biosciences - Single-Cell Isolation and Analysis

Variation in phenotype and gene expression at the single-cell level may be pivotal in the differentiation of stem cells. Here, BD Biosciences and Fluidigm present a protocol to discriminate different HSC subtypes on the basis of Hoechst dye efflux and SPKLS surface staining. Single cells from the Ly-HSC and My-HSC subpopulations were isolated using a BD FACSAria™ III flow cytometer and differences in gene expression between the two populations were determined using the BioMark™ System. The results demonstrate that the combination of flow cytometry and single-cell gene expression provides a powerful research tool. This combination provides a simple and robust method of both single-cell isolation and analysis of hematopoietic development.
