项目摘要

Abstract Characterizing both functional and genetic heterogeneity among a pool of cells remains a major scientific challenge in immunology, cancer research, neurobiology and developmental biology. Isolating cells with the same phenotype is key to understand such heterogeneity. We would like to develop a non-fluidic, unique technology, LCD aided selection under microscope (LASUM, Fig.1) to address this need. During the phase I of this project, we completed the alpha version of prototype design and demonstrated its utility in three proof-of-concept experiments: (a) blood cell removal; (b) phage enrichment on single beads; (c) isolation of tumor-killing immune cell clones. We would like to continue our effort to bring this technology to market, which will be low-cost, high throughput, debris resistant, image-based with operation simplicity as preparing a microscope slide or washing a microtiter plate. Besides the device, we will unify the fragmentated cell isolation market using two associated kits: Enrich-Live and Enrich- Seq. The successful commercialization of this device/kits will enable thousands of cell- biology labs and hospitals in manipulating single cells on a computer screen.

抽象的表征细胞库之间的功能和遗传异质性仍然存在免疫学、癌症研究、神经生物学和发育生物学。分离具有相同表型的细胞是理解的关键这种异质性。我们希望开发一种非流体、独特的技术，LCD 显微镜下辅助选择（LASUM，图 1）来满足这一需求。期间在这个项目的第一阶段，我们完成了原型设计的alpha版本并在三个概念验证实验中证明了其实用性：(a) 血细胞去除； (二) 单珠上的噬菌体富集； (c) 分离肿瘤杀伤免疫细胞克隆。我们我们希望继续努力将这项技术推向市场，该技术成本低廉，高通量、防碎片、基于图像，操作简单，就像准备显微镜载玻片或清洗微量滴定板。除了设备之外，我们还将统一使用两种相关试剂盒的分散细胞分离市场：Enrich-Live 和 Enrich- 序列。该设备/套件的成功商业化将使数千个细胞生物实验室和医院在计算机屏幕上操纵单细胞。
