Presentation Transcript

  1. Laboratory demonstration - DC and T cell activation • Applications of flow cytometry in basic immunology • Generation and characterization of DC • Assays for T cell activation • Cell proliferation • Cell division • Cell activation marker

  2. Applications of Flow Cytometry in Basic Immunology • Basic parameters • Applications • Cell phenotyping • Measurement of cell activation • Visualization of cell division • Detection of intracellular molecues (e.g. cytokine) • Analysis of specific ligand binding • Analysis of intracellular calcium concentration • Analysis of DNA content • Cell sorting

  3. Flow cytometry - the basic parameters • FSC (forward scatter) - Size • SSC (side scatter) - Granularity • FL (flurochrome) – FL-1,FL-2,FL-3 etc.

  4. (1) FSC – the size Forward (parallel) lights

  5. (2) SSC – the granularity Side (angled) lights

  6. (3) Fluorescent-labeled markers Laser light Band Filters Fluorescent detectors FL-1 (green) mirrors FL-2 (red) FL-3 (ultra red)

  7. Fluorochromes & wave length

  8. Cell types of the immune system

  9. Human blood cells analyzed by their FSC and SSC properties Total blood RBC lysed SSC (granularity) FSC (size)

  10. Cell phenotypes & surface markers NK T B

  11. Cluster of Differentiation (CD) markers

  18. Analysis of cell division by CFSE labeling Cell incubation with CFSE (serum free, 37 0C, 10mins. & wash) CFSE crosses cell membrane & attaches to cytoplasmic proteins Removal of carboxyl groups of CFSE by intracellular esterase Fluorescein Analyed by FC Excitation wave length: 488nm Emitting wave length: 519nm 1 ½ ¼ . . . CFSE:Carboxyfluorescein diacetate Succinimidyl Ester

  28. - LPS + LPS Isotype Isotype MHC Class II CD40 14.0 67.2 CD80 CD86

  29. DC maturity & APC activity in Mixed Lymphocyte Reaction (MLR) Mature DC Immature DC

  30. Key points for discussions • Requirements for naïve T cell activation? • Key changes during DC maturation? • Association of DC maturity with APC activity? • Induction and measurement of T cell activation – the basis - cell proliferation assay? - indicators of T cell activation? - T cell mitogen? • MLR - peptides presented to T cells in: - allogenic responses? - semi-allogenic responses? - syngenic responses?
