Application Note: Filming 'Killer Cells' in 3D to Aid Immune Response

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
CAMBRIDGE, England, Jan. 1, 2016 — Watching the formation of the human immune system's "killer cells" could help scientists develop new ways to target cancer. Researchers at the University of Cambridge used a confocal spinning disk microscope equipped with electron multiplying CCD (EMCCD) cameras to image, in 3D and over a period of time, how immunological synapses form within cytotoxic T lymphocytes as the cells prepare to attack. The equipment included the Revolution microscope and iXon EMCCD cameras from Andor Technology Ltd. of Belfast, Northern Ireland, as well as the company's Imaris software. "The...Read full article
