Immudex USA
Presenter:
The invention of MHC multimers revolutionized T cell immunology. Enabling the direct detection of T cells based on the structural specificity of their T cell receptor, it was quickly discovered that the gold standard at the time, the limiting dilution assay (LDA), underestimated T cell frequencies approximately tenfold. Now established as the gold standard of MHC multimer technologies, Dextramers detect antigen-specific T cells missed by previous generations of MHC multimers. Using peer-reviewed, published data, we will demonstrate the superiority of Class I and Class II Dextramers (now available) for the detection of the antigen-specific CD8 and CD4 T cell responses. Furthermore, we will introduce our new massive multiplexing Dextramer assay capable of detecting 1000 T cell specificities from a 10 mL blood sample.

EXHIBITOR WORKSHOP ROOM 2
Advanced Cell Diagnostics
Presenter:
Although cancer immunotherapy is changing the paradigm of how cancer is treated, there is an urgent need to develop predictive biomarkers to identify patients who are most likely to benefit from various immunotherapeutic strategies. Whereas many biomarker analysis technologies are available, most do not provide spatial and cell type-specific information critical for assessing the immune response in the evolving microenvironment of each tumor. Furthermore, multiplexing capabilities are highly desirable to obtain comprehensive, single-cell-level co-expression information and to maximize the use of limited biopsied sample material. Advanced Cell Diagnostics will demonstrate how the RNAscope technology for RNA in situ hybridization can be used to visualize various immune checkpoint markers directly, to reveal complex patterns of co-expression at single-cell resolution in morphological context.
10:00 AM – 10:45 AM
EXHIBITOR WORKSHOP ROOM 1
Agilent Technologies
Presenter:
It is well established that 'metabolic phenotype and metabolic switching' are pivotal to the activation and function of immune cells. This metabolic switch occurs rapidly following an activation signal, and serves as both predictor and driver of downstream immunologic function. Agilent Seahorse XF Technology is the only cell analysis platform that enables researchers to interrogate this metabolic switch in real time, opening a window into the earliest events of activation. In this workshop, you will learn how XF technology can be used to detect real-time activation responsees, enabling researchers to: detect and monitor activation of T cells within six minutes of stimulation; identify the metabolic requirements, fuels, and substrates required for immune cell activation, development, and function; and design experiments to perturb or modulate early activation events. Join us for this informative session to get practical advice on designing and performing T cell activation assays on Seahorse XF Analyzers; how to interrogate and quantify glycolytic and mitochondrial function; and generating and interpreting metabolic phenotypes of primary immune cells.

SCIENION US, Inc.
Presenter:
Attack by foreign substances, such as allergens, triggers a cascade of events, in which IgE is a first responder. An allergic reaction to certain foods, e.g., shellfish or peanuts, can elicit a response within minutes of ingestion. There are also more subtle responses, such as IgG, which remains in the bloodstream for an extended period, and is monitored to assess this delayed response. Th2 cytokines are involved in the humoral response, leading to the production ofIgE antibodies. Other cytokines, such as IL-25, are also involved in the induction of Th2 responses. In this study, a microplate-based microarray of “allergenic” proteins from food sources was constructed together with antibodies to measure inflammatory cytokines. Plasma from patients with known food allergy was assessed for specific IgG subclasses, specific IgE, and Th2 cytokine levels. Quantitative multiplex immunoassays were performed, and resulted in bright and colorful spots. The plates were analyzed using a novel colorimetric microplate imaging reader (sciREADER CL2, Scienion).

EXHIBITOR WORKSHOP ROOM 1
BioLegend
Presenter:
Tumor growth is a complex condition where multiple systems interlace in an often fatal outcome. RANKL (Receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappaB ligand) is a member of the tumor necrosis factor family of cytokines. RANKL binds to its receptor RANK (receptor activator of NF-kappaB) and plays an important role in several homeostatic processes. It has also recently been found that RANKL is involved in migration of epithelial and melanoma cancer cells, thereby promoting cancer dissemination. Likewise, blockade of important immune checkpoint molecules, such as PD-L1 and depletion of key cell types, are emerging as safe and efficient cancer immunotherapies. Here, Dr. Tam presents data characterizing the intracellular signaling pathway associated with the RANK–RANKL axis, as well as the effect in dendritic cells, antigen-specific T cells, cytokines, and chemokine profiles after in vivo treatment with blocking PD-L1 and T cell-depleting antibodies in a melanoma cancer model.

Hycult Biotech Inc.
Presenters:
For a long time, studying the adaptive immune system has been central in the design of therapeutics. New insights indicate that complement activation also regulates fundamental processes of the cell, such as metabolic activity and homeostasis. It also serves as a nexus for the interaction with other effector systems. Specifically, intracellular complement/NLRP3 inflammasome crosstalk has emerged as critical for normal IFN-γ secretion by T cells. Advancing insights have not only shown that innate immune regulators are present but are also key in directing immunological responses. This is of great significance to our understanding of the biology of immune cells, immune system evolution, and explains why targeting just one arm of the immune system is insufficient for disease treatment. This workshop will give an overview of the emerging key roles of autocrine complement activity in the regulation of Th1 responses and then invites discussion about their implications for design of next-generation therapeutics and monitoring.

Presenters:
Oxygen is a critical cell culture parameter, and its role in regulating important cell processes has been widely established. Tissue where immune cells concentrate (such as lymphoid tissue or bone marrow) features oxygen percentages far below ambient, room-air levels. Until recently, oxygen’s fundamental role in regulating immune cell activity has been widely disregarded. Traditional methods for controlling cell culture oxygen (O2 incubators) have proven nearly impossible for gaining relevant in vitro data. New cell incubation technology has removed these obstacles and has opened pathways for improving physiological relevance in the dish. These new approaches are contributing to emerging data establishing oxygen’s crucial role in regulating immune cell function. This talk briefly covers the evidence establishing oxygen’s fundamental role in regulating cell function. It reviews a number of recent publications that establish the essential role oxygen plays in regulating immune cell activity. Furthermore, it explores the historical challenges associated with use of oxygen and shares new technologies for proper use of oxygen in the generation of physiologically relevant cell data.

ACEA Biosciences, Inc.
Presenter:
Membrane-bound extracellular vesicles isolated from ovarian cancer patients have biophysical and compositional characteristics similar to vesicles called exosomes. These tumor-associated exosomes inhibit an early activation endpoint of a significant portion of virus (EBV and CMV)-specific CD8+ T cells that are stimulated with viral peptides presented in the context of Class I MHC. Early- and late-activation endpoints of peripheral blood CD4+ and CD8+ T cells stimulated with immobilized antibodies to CD3 and CD28 are also significantly inhibited by the exosomes. The inhibition of the T cells is induced directly and rapidly and occurs coincidentally with the exosomes binding to and internalization by the T cells. The early arrest in the activation occurs without a loss of viability in the T cells. The immune-suppressive exosomes in the tumor microenvironment and the ability to block their T cell inhibitory activity represent a potential therapeutic target to enhance the anti-tumor immunity of quiescent tumor-associated T cells and to prevent the functional arrest of endogenous or adoptively transferred T cells upon their entry into the tumor.
