T-CELL THERAPY: Evaluation of checkpoint inhibitor therapies using a mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) assay
Join Kirsty McBain, Associate Scientist at Sartorius, to find out about how the iQue® MLR assay can be used to generate pharmacological outputs for checkpoint inhibitor-induced T cell activation. In this session, McBain also discusses the impact of checkpoint inhibitor therapeutics on inflammatory cytokine release.
Tuesday, August 10, at 16:00 BST / 17:00 CEST / 11:00 EDT / 08:00 PDT
TIRF IMAGING: Lifting the cellular fog with TIRF microscopy
Dr. John Oreopoulos, microscopy specialist, Andor, covers the basics of TIRF microscopy, the necessities that make for a successful TIRF imaging experiment, and the challenges of TIRF image analysis. Oreopoulos explores how TIRF microscopy in combination with other imaging modalities – either simultaneously or sequentially – has advanced our understanding of complex cellular processes and molecular dynamics.
