Immune profiling of PBMC and peripheral whole blood is an essential method for quantifying changes in immune cell populations in autoimmune disease, chronic inflammation, infectious disease and cancer.

In this webinar, Michelle Poulin, Manager, Field Applications, introduces an innovative mass cytometry application, the Maxpar® Direct™ Immune Profiling System, which provides a complete sample-to-answer solution for high-parameter immune monitoring.

The system combines

• CyTOF^® technology on the Helios™ system
• A dry, single-tube 30-marker antibody panel
• Automated Maxpar Pathsetter™ software.

It enables enumeration of 37 immune cell populations from PBMC and whole blood in as little as 5 minutes. The system is also flexible, allowing for addition of antibodies and development of new analysis models.

Thiru Selvanantham, Senior Product Applications Scientist, presents data on repeatability, precision and accuracy, as well as site-to-site reproducibility from external multisite testing of the system.

New technical advancements coupled with immune profiling by mass cytometry provide insights into chronic inflammation

In support of research at DRFZ Berlin on immune pathogenesis in chronic inflammation and autoimmunity, Dr. Henrik Mei’s lab at the DRFZ Berlin have developed several technical improvements that enabled generation of high-quality mass cytometry data. Mei describes these innovations in this presentation given at the 7th Annual Mass Cytometry Summit in Prague.

In this live recorded video, Mei presents:

• the development of dual fluorescent/metal-tagged antibodies that permit direct cross-platform comparisons
• the use of silver nanoparticles for sensitive detection of weakly expressed antigens
• the stabilization of cocktails of metal-labeled antibodies for longitudinal or multicenter immune phenotyping studies
• the results of a systematic comparison between blood cells of rheumatoid arthritis subjects and matched controls

Disease-specific features of exhausted CD8 T cells revealed through epigenomic-guided mass cytometry

In this talk from the 7th Annual Mass Cytometry Summit in Prague, Dr. Bertram Bengsch from the University Medical Center Freiburg shares his latest research (Bengsch et al.) on using exhaustion-specific genes found in mice and humans to profile exhausted T cells (TEX) by mass cytometry in patients with HIV and lung cancer.

Hear Bengsch discuss:

• combining an exhaustion severity metric with high-dimensional phenotypes to define TEX clusters shared across chronic infection and cancer or enriched in either disease
• how mass cytometry led to the identification of at least nine distinct TEX clusters in HIV and lung cancer by phenotypic, functional and transcription factor and inhibitory receptor co-expression patterns
• identification of combinatorial patterns of immunotherapy targets on different TEX clusters.

Multiplexed Mass Cytometry Analysis of Human Microglia

Hear Chotima Böttcher, PhD, describe her investigation into the diversity and regional distribution of microglia, a specialized innate immune cell in the brain involved in neural development and neuropathology response.

In this talk recorded at the 7th Annual Mass Cytometry Summit in Prague, Böttcher explains how her lab overcame the limitations of studying human microglia and were able to resolve the heterogeneity of this unique cell, previously only demonstrated in the mouse brain.

Watch this video to hear about:

• high-dimensional, large-scale immunophenotyping of post-mortem brain tissue with CyTOF^® technology
• development of a novel cryopreservation protocol in combination with barcoding for single-cell profiling of human microglia
• identification of the phenotypic signature of human microglia in five different brain regions
• comparative analysis of microglia with peripheral myeloid cells and cerebral spinal fluid

CyTOF^® and Proseek Analysis of Newborn Blood Provides Novel Insights into Immune System Development

In this presentation, recorded at the 7th Annual Mass Cytometry Summit in Prague, Dr. Petter Brodin of the Karolinska Institutet and Karolinska University Hospital in Stockholm shares his most recent research (Olin, A. et al. 2018) on stereotypic immune system development in newborn children.

Interested in understanding the factors that drive human immune variation, Brodin’s group used mass cytometry and plasma protein analysis to perform a systems-level, longitudinal analysis of blood immune cells and serum after birth.

Hear Brodin discuss:

• technologies developed at his lab enabling analysis of small-volume blood samples
• integration of mass cytometry data and Proseek (Olink®) plasma protein data with clinical information using a topological parameter landscaping method
• how mass cytometry combined with other -omics approaches provided unique insights into the interplay between the environment and the immune system
• the surprising result that the immune systems of children of different gestational ages and environmental conditions still converge on a shared developmental trajectory
