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