Harmony Seminar – An optimised method for accurate spread measurement and its use in panel design
News & innovations, Training and educationDo you run multicolour flow cytometry experiments with more than 10 colours? Do you use tools like Spillover Spread Matrix (SSM) to predict spread and design multicolour panels? Do you find discrepancies between predicted and measured spread, resulting in sub-optimal resolution? If the answer to these questions is yes, then this webinar is for you! […]

Delineation of functional Treg subsets using cell surface marker expression
News & innovations, Training and educationRegulatory T cells or Tregs are CD4 T cells that are essential for maintaining peripheral tolerance, preventing autoimmunity and limiting chronic inflammatory diseases. Naturally occurring Tregs were first characterized within the CD4+CD25+ T cell populations. Tregs express the transcription factor Foxp3, which is essential for their function. Over the years, specific Treg subsets have been […]

Making the most out of the ultraviolet laser: How BD Horizon Brilliant™ Ultraviolet Dyes drive discovery
News & EventAt the beginning of the new millennium, researchers had reached a plateau in the number of parameters that could be analysed in a flow cytometry experiment. This was due to the limited number of fluorochromes available and the overlaps that occurred in their excitation spectra with the available lasers. Then the Nobel Prize-winning discovery of […]

Webinar: Single-cell transcriptomics of PBMCs from COVID-19 patients using the BD Rhapsody™ platform
News & EventThe COVID-19 pandemic is an ongoing global challenge. It is a mild to moderate respiratory tract infection in most people but can cause life-threatening respiratory failure or persistent debilitating symptoms in a subset of patients.1 The mechanisms of protective immunity in mild cases and the pathogenesis of severe COVID-19 remain unclear. It has been proposed […]

Heavy science: Expression of CD107a in a mouse model of obesity studied by the BD FACSymphony™ A5 Cell Analyzer and the BD Horizon™ Red 718 reagent
Scientific PublicationIn this application note, a study is presented that details a stepwise approach towards the intracellular staining and assessment of various immune cell types in a mouse model of obesity. Obesity can create an inflammatory environment that may lead to the production of exhausted T cell phenotypes. The loss of T cell effector function associated […]

Webinar: Single-cell profiling of human tumors and inflamed tissues reveals therapeutically targetable tumor-unique immune subsets
News & EventAbstract: The composition of the immune infiltrate in the human tumor microenvironment is a critical determinant of disease progression. Immunotherapies to treat cancer have achieved remarkable successes, but an inherent weakness of current treatment approaches is that the targeted immune subsets are not exclusive to tumors. In an effort to identify tumor-unique immune features that […]
