An automated real-time microfluidic platform to probe single NK cell heterogeneity and cytotoxicity on-chip
Abstract Cytotoxicity is a vital effector mechanism used by immune cells to combat pathogens and cancer cells. While conventional cytotoxicity assays rely on averaged end-point measures, crucial insights on the dynamics and heterogeneity of effector and target cell interactions cannot be extracted,...
