CyTOF reveals subtle phenotypic changes and functional shifts undetectable by standard assays.
As immune effector cell (IEC) therapies continue to evolve, characterizing the downstream impact of these powerful agents on hematopoietic integrity has become a central concern in next-generation safety assessment strategies. Traditional assays often fall short in capturing the full complexity of immune–hematopoietic interactions, which involve diverse signaling axes, lineage-specific perturbations, and dynamic microenvironmental responses.
Mass cytometry (CyTOF) stands at the forefront of high-dimensional single-cell analysis. By integrating flow cytometry with mass spectrometry, this technology enables simultaneous quantification of 40+ cellular parameters without signal overlap, allowing for unprecedented resolution of immune and hematopoietic phenotypes. At Creative Biolabs, our Mass Cytometry based Immune Cell and Blood Cell Interaction Analysis Service provides a platform to dissect the multiplexed, non-redundant biological processes underlying immune cell–induced hematopoietic suppression or modulation.

This service is a core component of our Immune Effector Cell-associated Hematotoxicity (ICAHT) Management Solutions, offering researchers actionable insights into lineage-specific vulnerability, progenitor status, cell state transitions, and functional remodeling in response to engineered immune effectors.
Creative Biolabs' CyTOF-based platform is designed to map the immunophenotypic and functional profiles of both IECs and hematopoietic cells post co-culture or ex vivo exposure. Using meticulously designed metal-tagged antibody panels, we interrogate critical cell surface and intracellular markers associated with:
Unlike conventional flow cytometry, mass cytometry eliminates spectral overlap, enabling deeper multiplexing with improved signal fidelity. Our panels are modular and customizable, allowing tailored profiling to specific CAR constructs, targets, or hematopoietic populations of interest.
This service supports both discovery-phase research and comparative construct analysis, offering a scalable solution to understand hematopoietic risks and inform upstream design choices.
Identify lineage, activation, suppression, and metabolic status in one unified assay.
Build targeted marker panels for your specific IEC and hematopoietic model.
Apply advanced unsupervised and supervised algorithms for cell state discovery and interaction signature profiling.
Quantify selective impact of IECs on progenitor subsets or committed precursors.
Run multiple constructs or donors simultaneously for robust, normalized comparisons.
Correlate CyTOF data with co-culture or imaging datasets for multidimensional insight.
CyTOF reveals subtle phenotypic changes and functional shifts undetectable by standard assays.
Avoids signal averaging and highlights heterogeneity within hematopoietic populations.
Track expansion, depletion, or resilience of rare subpopulations such as MEPs or GMPs.
Evaluate immune construct variants in parallel to inform lead candidate selection.
Choose from validated pre-built panels or rapidly prototype new ones with our scientific team.
Q1: How is this service different from conventional flow cytometry analysis?
A1: CyTOF allows simultaneous analysis of over 40 markers without spectral overlap, enabling far richer phenotypic and functional resolution at the single-cell level.
Q2: Can I use my own antibody clones or panel designs?
A2: Yes. We support client-supplied antibodies and assist with conjugation to rare earth metal isotopes when needed.
Q3: Is mass cytometry applicable for both fresh and frozen samples?
A3: Yes, we can process either fresh or cryopreserved samples with appropriate optimization for viability and staining fidelity.
