Phenotype Analysis Service

Introduction of Phenotype Analysis

B cell immunotherapy is a novel therapeutic approach with the aim to promote B cell activation, differentiation, and anti-tumor antibody production within tumors. After selective activation, amplification, antibody class snucleaseswitching, and somatic hypermutation, matured B cells own various subtypes across different cancers (shown in Fig.1). Thus, B cell subsets should be measured to ensure the whether they maintain or differ into the desired B cell phenotype.

Our Phenotype Analysis Service

We offer scientific and comprehensive services for B cell phenotype analysis, including flow cytometry assay (FC), immunohistochemistry assay (IHC), immunofluorescence assay (IF), and comprehensive data analysis to ensure high-quality B cell engineering results. To get more information about the quality assessment of engineered B cells functionally in vivo and in vitro, please inquire about our Engineered B Cells Assessment Service.

Published Data

Paper Title: Engineering protein-secreting plasma cells by homology-directed repair in primary human B cell

Technology: CRISPR/Cas9; Phenotype Analysis

Sample: Primary Naive Human B Cells

Journal: Molecular Therapy

Published: 2018

Background: Plasma cells engineered to produce de novo proteins have the potential usage in curative therapies for protein deficiency diseases. HDR-mediated genome editing in B cells may have several advantages over episomal DNA and viral vector transduction for therapeutic applications, including decreased risk of cassette mutation and ensured transgene expression.

Results: Creative multiplexing of gene disruption and HDR strategy of B cell engineering will likely provide ever more powerful tools to coordinately optimize protein secretion, cellular phenotype, and long-term survival.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: When do we need the phenotype analysis?

A: Optimize conditions for the expansion of subject B cells; verification of right locus insertion of engineering cassette; ensure desired B cell subtypes in vitro after cell differentiation; assessment of B cell differentiation and distribution in vivo.

Q: What's the difference between FC and IHC, two different phenotype assays?

A: FC could detect membrane-bound proteins on the cellular level with a panel of B cell subtypes. While IHC could detect the proteins on the level of tissues.
