Bruker Fluorescence Microscopy Webinar Series

Friday, June 13, 2014
10AM PT / 6PM GMT Register here:   https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/318231746

Bruker Fluorescence Microscopy is pleased to have as a guest speaker this month Thorsten Mempel, MD, PhD, Center for Immunology and Inflammatory Diseases, Massachusetts General Hospital.

Dr. Mempel will present data showing how Multiphoton Intravital Microscopy (MP-IVM) is proving to be a revolutionary tool in the study of immune cell function, allowing observation of immune cell functions in lymphoid as well as non-lymphoid tissues, such as sites of infection or tumors. In addition to qualitative observation of immune cell behavior, MP-IVM lends itself to quantitative measurements of cell migration, cell-cell interactions and the activity of signaling pathways.

Data will focus on two areas of study:

1) normal T-lymphocyte function, specifically the interaction of cytotoxic T-cells with antigen-presenting cells at effector sites

2) exploitation of immune cells by pathogens, specifically HIV-1, to establish and maintain infection.

The benefits of in vivo methods compared to in vitro methods will be discussed, as well as general considerations for the use of MP-IVM in immune system research.
