Cytokine flow cytometry: understanding cytokine biology at the single-cell level

Journal of Clinical Immunology
C Prussin

Abstract

In the past 4 years, cytokine flow cytometry has emerged as the premier technique for enumeration of cytokine producing T cells. The multiparameter capability of flow cytometry permits the simultaneous detection of two or more cytokines within a single cell, allowing true Th1 vs. Th2 determination. The high throughput inherent to flow cytometry has enormous advantages when applied to clinical research questions previously not amenable for study using labor intensive techniques such as ELISPOT, limiting dilution and T cell cloning. Furthermore, cytokine flow cytometry allows the study of individual T cells directly ex vivo, minimizing artifacts due to long term culture. As such, cytokine flow yields unique insights into cytokine biology heretofore not possible. We have used cytokine flow cytometry to examine coexpression of cytokines within the memory/effector CD4+, CD27- subset. Doing so, we have found distinct cytokine producing subsets that correlate with the previously described Th1, Th2 and Th0 subsets. The majority of cytokine producing cells were of these first two subsets with fewer cells coexpressing IFN-gamma and IL-4. These results validate the Th1/Th2 hypothesis and demonstrate specific subsets of cytokine producing ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
