The Cytohub
Multicolour flow cytometry panels for COVID-19 research!
The CytohubEnabling your research into the immune response to COVID-19 There is now a pressing need to unravel the biological mechanisms underlying COVID-19 infections, as the pandemic continues to spread all around the world. Research studies have shown that there is an alteration in the composition of immune cells and dysfunctional immune response in COVID-19 patients. […]

Assessing immunological abnormalities in COVID-19 disease by enumerating CD4 and CD8 T cell subsets
The CytohubT cell subsets in COVID-19 immune response CD4 and CD8 T cells are important for triggering an immune response to bacterial and viral infections. Complete blood counts (CBCs) are often carried out in patients suffering from infections. However, while CBC tests can detect lymphopenia in blood, they cannot measure the specific lymphocyte populations that are […]

Webinar: Single-cell multi-omics identifies unstable regulatory T-cell profiles
The CytohubWebinar by Prof. Susan Schlenner, University of Leuven, Belgium Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are a subset of CD4+ T cells that possess immunosuppressive functions. They play a key role in human health as their malfunction results in allergies and auto-inflammatory disorders. Loss of regulatory T cells results in a rare autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome called IPEX, […]

Now more flexibility in panel design with the BD Horizon™ Red 718
The CytohubBD Horizon™ R718 The BD Horizon™ R718, developed exclusively by BD Biosciences, is a small-molecule dye that is excited by the red laser (628 or 640 nm) and has an emission maximum of 718 nm. It can be used as a replacement for Alexa-Fluor® 700 or APC-R700 without the need to change the instrument settings, […]

The CytohubA well-understood technique for the targeted disruption of genes across a wide range of cell types is the use of the CRISPR/Cas9 method. In this, a single guide RNA (sgRNA) strand is used to guide the Cas9 endonuclease to create a double-strand break at a site that is complementary to the sgRNA. The resulting frameshift […]

Met-Flow: A strategy for single-cell metabolic analysis
News & Event, The CytohubFeaturing World-Renowned Flow Cytometry Expert: Dr. John Connolly Wednesday, October 21, 2020 1 p.m. SGT A complex interaction of anabolic and catabolic metabolism A complex interaction of anabolic and catabolic metabolism underpins the ability of leukocytes to mount an immune response. Their capacity to respond to changing environments by metabolic reprogramming is crucial to effector function. […]

Webinar: Single-cell Multiomics analysis of T-cell exhaustion
The CytohubA key step in the clinical production of CAR T cells is the expansion of engineered T cells. To generate enough cells for viable adoptive cell therapy, cells must be robustly stimulated, which raises the risk of inducing T-cell exhaustion and reducing therapeutic efficacy. We sought to answer fundamental questions about the impact of in […]

BD Harmony Webinars by Bob Balderas, BD Biosciences
The CytohubLearning panel design Panel design is one of the most crucial parts of a flow-cytometry experiment. It involves the selection of the right combination of marker and fluorochrome for a given population of cells under study. A badly designed panel, comprising of improperly selected fluorochromes results in overlapping of emission spectra, leading to loss of […]
