SUMMARY:Webinar:	Discovering Immune Features During COVID-19 By Advanced Cytometry
DESCRIPTION:About the Presenter \nAndrea Cossarizza is a Full Professor of Pathology and Immunology\, Vice President of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia\, and current President of ISAC. He has been studying the molecular and cellular basis of several diseases that involve the immune system for 35 years. He is currently at the forefront of the fight against COVID-19\, and has provided the first contributions regarding the importance of cytometry in understanding the immune response to SARS-CoV-2. As of May 2020\, he has published 332 papers on peer reviewed journal\, has an H index of 79 and has received over 33\,000 citations. \nWebinar Description \nThe immune system is heavily involved in the pathogenesis of COVID-19\, and its activation\, which includes the so-called cytokine storm\, and is the main force that drives the course of the infection. This webinar will present the most recent data on main changes that occur among different lymphocyte populations along with functional analysis of T cells\, and discuss current and possible therapeutic approaches. \nLearning Objectives \nTo learn which are the main changes that occur in the immune system during different phases of the infection with SARS-CoV-2\, the virus that causes COVID-19; to see which cytometric techniques have been used in the first studies that can be a tool to better understand changes that occur in the immune system during the infection and its recovery. \nWho Should Attend \nResearchers\, clinicians\, laboratory managers\, and personnel involved in the fight against SARS-CoV-2 who want to know the latest discoveries on the role of the immune system during COVID-19.

SUMMARY:Use of High-Parameter Human NK and T cell Spectral Flow Cytometry For an In-Depth Investigation of Immune Cell Variability across Health Donors
DESCRIPTION:Inter-donor immune system variability is well-documented and poses challenges for the selection of normal controls or cell donors in biomarker or cell therapy studies. Spectral flow cytometry has facilitated efficient and extensive characterization of the immune system by enabling analysis of over 40 markers in a single tube. However\, challenges in the development of such assays have so far limited their use to a broad and shallow analysis of several\, distinct lineages. Furthermore\, the lack of biological standards has hampered the assessment of the inevitable impact of spillover spread on biological resolution in very large panels. In this study\, we developed a 38-color spectral flow cytometry panel for an in-depth analysis restricted to NK and T cells\, including markers associated with maturation\, senescence\, activation\, chemokine and inhibitory signaling. Smaller flow cytometry panels with very minimal spillover and spread impact were used as reference to monitor the maintenance of biological resolution\, measured as frequency of populations of interest. The optimized panel was then used to characterize the NK and T cell compartments of N=10 healthy donors of different gender\, age and ethnicity. Through conventional and unsupervised analysis\, we show how inter-donor differences become more pronounced as the depth of cell analysis increases. Longitudinal analysis of N=4 donors showed remarkable immunophenotype stability. Ultimately\, the panel was used for a comprehensive assessment of the impact of commonly used protocols for sample storage and handling of marker detection. This type of analysis can help to explain the plasticity of the immune responses in response to challenge. \nRegister Here: https://forms.office.com/r/kbysCZVM9H \n  \nSeminar Flyer
