Cell surface proteins
Proteins
Protein spatial architecture enables cell-cell communication, mobility, structure, and immunological activities such as the immune synapse.
These fundamental aspects of cell biology are poorly understood due to current technologies’ limitations to facilitate larger studies and data driven science at a scale, resolution and throughput needed to shed the necessary light over the lateral movement of cell surface proteins. To address this need, Pixelgen Technologies has developed the Molecular Pixelation workflow for immune single cells which generates spatial cell surface protein location data.
This information is crucial for the understanding of the different stages of human health and disease as well as the mode-of-action of drugs.
