We will host a mini symposium on “Unlocking Cellular Insights with the Inflammation Core Facility: Advances in CyTOF Researches and Applications” on September 12, 2024. The symposium will include an open house of the core and an introduction to research and applications related to Cytometry by Time-of-Flight. In the afternoon, we will also provide an overview of our services and introduce our instruments. Refreshments will be served, and there will be opportunities to receive discount coupons. You are cordially welcomed to this event.

Inflammation is highly relevant to many fields of biomedical science. Do you know that the inflammatory response is an important disease-causing factor? Inflammation can cause an increase or decrease in many cytokines/chemokines (inflammation-related proteins). Our inflammation core facility (ICF) provides tests of mediators related to the inflammatory response.

Major services include:

• Multi-Plex Immunoassays (MPI) for measuring cytokine/chemokine levels.
• Immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining of target antigens.
• Cytometry by Time-of-Flight (CyTOF) for detecting antigen expression on single-cell and cells grouping.

The ICF also provides the following services:

• Assisting the establishment of mouse models for skin diseases.
• Providing information related to glycan-binding proteins as these proteins play important roles in inflammation and inflammatory responses.
