Mass Cytometry (Cytof) Mass Cytometry (CyTOF): Modern way to analyse >40 markers on hundred thousands of cells on a single cell level using the Helios and Hyperion™ Imaging System Olga Karpus, PhD Field Applications Specialist, BeNeLux & Nordics [email protected] Cytometry the term "cytometry" can apply to any method used to extract quantitative information from individual cells, often antibody-based method. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) Mass is an elemental analysis technology capable of Cytometry or detecting most of the periodic table of elements. It is CyTOF used in a variety of industries including, but not limited (Cytometry to, environmental monitoring, geochemical analysis, Time of metallurgy.

In this paper, we will deal with one of the most fascinating problems of the Solar System: the origin of the double face of Iapetus, where one half of the satellite is significantly brighter than the other. The “transfer of mass” process (see Marchi et al. 2001) may be a viable explanation for the visible dichotomy. In this process a satellite undergoes mass transfer from other satellites belonging to the same system. We analyze the pair Hyperion–Iapetus and suggest a possible explanation for the formation of the dark region, which is also known as Cassini Regio. Key words. minor planets, asteroids – solar system: general 1. Introduction 2. Transfer of mass Iapetus’ surface is divided into two parts: one with a very In a previous paper (Marchi et al. 2001), we have studied low albedo, about 0.015–0.05, which covers about a third the efficiency of mass transfer between pairs of satellites of the whole surface; the other with an albedo of about 0.5 in the whole Solar System.

  • The Chaotic Rotation of Hyperion*
    ICARUS 58, 137-152 (1984) The Chaotic Rotation of Hyperion* JACK WISDOM AND STANTON J. PEALE Department of Physics, University of California, Santa Barbara, California 93106 AND FRANGOIS MIGNARD Centre d'Etudes et de Recherehes G~odynamique et Astronomique, Avenue Copernic, 06130 Grasse, France Received August 22, 1983; revised November 4, 1983 A plot of spin rate versus orientation when Hyperion is at the pericenter of its orbit (surface of section) reveals a large chaotic zone surrounding the synchronous spin-orbit state of Hyperion, if the satellite is assumed to be rotating about a principal axis which is normal to its orbit plane. This means that Hyperion's rotation in this zone exhibits large, essentially random variations on a short time scale. The chaotic zone is so large that it surrounds the 1/2 and 2 states, and libration in the 3/2 state is not possible. Stability analysis shows that for libration in the synchronous and 1/2 states, the orientation of the spin axis normal to the orbit plane is unstable, whereas rotation in the 2 state is attitude stable. Rotation in the chaotic zone is also attitude unstable. A small deviation of the principal axis from the orbit normal leads to motion through all angles in both the chaotic zone and the attitude unstable libration regions. Measures of the exponential rate of separation of nearby trajectories in phase space (Lyapunov characteristic exponents) for these three-dimensional mo- tions indicate the the tumbling is chaotic and not just a regular motion through large angles. As tidal dissipation drives Hyperion's spin toward a nearly synchronous value, Hyperion necessarily enters the large chaotic zone.

  • Lanthanide-Containing Microgels Intended for Bead-Based Bioassays by Mass Cytometry
    Lanthanide-Containing Microgels Intended for Bead-Based Bioassays by Mass Cytometry By Wanjuan Lin A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Chemistry University of Toronto © Copyright by Wanjuan Lin, 2013 Lanthanide-Containing Microgels Intended for Bead-Based Bioassays by Mass Cytometry Wanjuan Lin Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Chemistry University of Toronto 2013 Abstract This thesis describes the synthesis and characterization of functional polyelectrolyte copolymer microgels intended for bioassays based upon mass cytometry. The microgels are based upon copolymers of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAm), N-vinylcaprolactam (VCL) and methacrylic acid (MAA), crosslinked with methlene-bis-acrylamide, poly(NIPAm/VCL/MAA). The microgels were loaded with Ln(III) ions, which were then converted in situ to LnF3 or LnPO4 nanoparticles (NPs). Very specific conditions were required for confining the NPs to the core of the microgels. I used mass cytometry to measure the number and the particle-to-particle variation of Ln ions per microgel. By controlling the amount of LnCl3 added to the neutralized microgels, we could vary the content of individual microgels from ca. 106 to 107 Ln atoms, either in the form of Ln3+ ions or Ln NPs. ii Leaching profiles of Ln ions from the Ln-containing microgels were measured by traditional ICP-MS. Under neutral or basic conditions, the leakage of Ln ions into the aqueous medium was not significant. In acidic buffer solutions, however, the leakage of metal from Ln3+ ion- containing microgels was prominent. On subsequent exposures to buffers, the microgels underwent continuous loss of metals.

  • Mass Cytometry Analysis of the Tumour-Immune Landscape: the Role of Axl Receptor Kinase
    A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Mass cytometry analysis of the tumour-immune landscape: The role of Axl receptor kinase Sturla Magnus Grøndal Supervisor: Prof. James Bradley Lorens, Dept. of Biomedicine Co-supervisor: Assoc. Prof. Niels Aarsæther, Dept. of Biomedicine Bergen, November, 2018 I Abstract Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in Norway (2016) and worldwide. Despite the advent of new immunotherapies, malignant cancer demonstrates an intrinsic plasticity and is able to evade, adapt and suppress the immune system. An important driver for this malignant phenotype is the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) program, characteristic of stem cells. Previous research showed a link between the AXL receptor tyrosine kinase (Axl) and EMT. The Axl receptor is further involved in immune suppression and could therefore serve as a potential target in immunotherapy and in combination with other cancer treatments. Chemotherapeutic treatment also shows evidence of immune involvement, and the immune system plays a vital role in all forms of cancer treatment. In this study, we evaluated current immunotherapy in combination the Axl kinase inhibitor, bemcentinib. Using single cell mass cytometry we conducted 30 parameter mapping of the immune system in an experimental murine tumour model. The data was analysed using dimensionality reduction and unsupervised clustering. By studying how the immune landscape changes during tumour development and immunotherapy treatment, important insights into how the immune system responds to tumour development and treatment was measured and a new treatment regime was evaluated. II Acknowledgements I would like to thank my family and friends for supporting me through my year of academic research and else in life and for allowing me to have a place outside of the university I can retreat to.

New methods for analyzing CyTOF data attempt to improve automation, scalability, performance, and interpretation of data generated in large studies. However, most current tools are less suitable for routine use where analysis must be standardized, reproducible, interpretable, and comparable. Assigning individual cells into discrete groups of cell types (gating) involves time-consuming se- quential manual steps untenable for larger studies. The subjectivity of manual gating introduces variability into the data and impacts reproducibility and comparability of results, particularly in multi-center studies. The FlowCAP consortium was formed to address these issues and it aims to boost user confidence in the viability of automated gating methods.

  • Hyperion: a Fragment
    Hyperion: A Fragment John Keats Hyperion: A Fragment Table of Contents Hyperion: A Fragment.............................................................................................................................................1 John Keats......................................................................................................................................................1 i Hyperion: A Fragment John Keats BOOK I. Deep in the shady sadness of a vale Far sunken from the healthy breath of morn, Far from the fiery noon, and eve's one star, Sat gray−hair'd Saturn, quiet as a stone, Still as the silence round about his lair; Forest on forest hung about his head Like cloud on cloud. No stir of air was there, Not so much life as on a summer's day Robs not one light seed from the feather'd grass, But where the dead leaf fell, there did it rest. A stream went voiceless by, still deadened more By reason of his fallen divinity Spreading a shade: the Naiad 'mid her reeds Press'd her cold finger closer to her lips. Along the margin−sand large foot−marks went, No further than to where his feet had stray'd, And slept there since.
