Immune Monitoring Shared Resource

Winship members can apply mass cytometry data analysis in applications including cell identification, detection of clinical biomarkers, cell phenotyping, phosphorylation-induced signaling and functional readouts of cell-cycle status, proliferation and apoptosis in human and murine samples.

We are capable of measuring over 40 available channels simultaneously using metal conjugated antibodies. Users can access our Helios mass cytometer and receive expert counseling on basic science and clinical research applications in the fields of immunology, cancer biology, systems biology and autoimmunity.

In the Immune Monitoring Shared Resource, we offer the following services:

• Counseling for panel design, antibody selection and antibody conjugation.
• Mass cytometry standardization training for published techniques including antibody titration, data validation and data analysis workflow.
• Software support and training for the cloud-based data analysis platform Cytobank.

Be sure to contact us well in advance if you are a first-time user of mass cytometry instrumentation.
