INVESTIGATING IMMUNE RESPONSE WITH TRUCULTURE & NANOSTRING NCOUNTER
Abstract
Duration: 45 minutes
This a webinar features a collaboration of Rules-Based Medicine, a Q2 Solutions Company (formerly Myriad RBM) and NanoString® technologies Investigating the Human Immune Response with RBM’s TruCulture® System & NanoString® nCounter® Autoimmune Profiling Panel
In this webinar, we describe a protocol and application using RBM’s TruCulture system and NanoString’s nCounter gene expression profiling to generate transcriptional and proteomic profiles of blood from healthy donors stimulated with a cytokine or pathogen associated molecule.
Topics covered in the webinar:
Applying the TruCulture blood collection and culture system for immune monitoring
Protocol for isolating RNA from TruCulture samples for analysis using the NanoString nCounter Autoimmune Profiling gene expression panel
