This webinar discusses cutting-edge single-cell approaches to discover biomarkers that could elucidate the mechanism of a variety of autoimmune disorders as well as autoimmune and inflammatory reactions to immunotherapies.  

Many therapeutics seek to address a large growing need in autoimmune and central nervous system diseases. Additionally, despite their success in addressing major challenges in refractory blood cancers, current immunotherapeutic strategies are still hampered by autoimmune-like reactions and neurotoxicity-related events. Inflammatory responses from T-cells, monocytes, and other immune cells can have detrimental effects on patients in each of these areas, but it is challenging to understand the functional profile of these immune cells, and thus how to use this type of information to predict progression of autoimmune-like responses.

Our speaker, Dr. Rong Fan of Yale University, discusses IsoPlexis’ advanced immune-based approaches in systemic lupus erythematosus and adverse events like cytokine release syndrome and neurotoxicity in cell therapy. He describes the uses of single-cell functional proteomics in determining correlates and drivers of these adverse reactions, and how these biomarkers may be used in the future to improve therapeutic development and intervention.

In addition, Jon Chen of IsoPlexis shares a case study showing that monocyte polyfunction in multiple sclerosis tracks differential responses to treatments for early diagnosis and early intervention.
