Immunophenotyping of human dendritic cell population
News & innovationsDendritic cells (DCs) play an important role in innate and acquired immunity. They are the antigen-presenting cells that prime naive T cells and elicit memory T cell responses to foreign antigens. DC subsets can be classified into three types. These are plasmacytoid DC (pDC), myeloid/conventional DC1 (cDC1) and myeloid/conventional DC2 (cDC2). This application note describes […]

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 […]
