Brusko, Todd Michael
Shapiro, Melanie
Abrégé
Low-dose IL-2 has been proposed as a therapy to rectify regulatory T cell (Treg) fitness in type 1 diabetes (T1D). Identification of a combinatorial approach permits lower IL-2 dosing and avoids off-target effects. Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF1) is a hormone that promotes immunoregulation. Disclosed are methods that synergizes IGF1 with IL-2 to expand Tregs. In vivo IL-2+IGF1 treatment expands murine Tregs to a greater extent than either agent alone. IGF1+IL-2 treatment permits gene transfer in primary human Treg without the requirement for conventional activation stimuli, observing that IGF1+IL-2 maintains Treg naivety.

Abrégé
Autofluorescence is the inherent emission of light from cells or tissues that occurs when biological samples are exposed to different wavelengths of excitation light. Tissue autofluorescence is usually ascribed to biological components such as flavins, porphyrins, chlorophyll (in plants), collagen, elastin, red blood cells (RBCs), and lipofuscin. Tissue autofluorescence often presents a significant problem in microscopy, pathology, and surgical applications. Autofluorescence interferes and complicates signal detection in a variety of fluorescence microscopy methods. Tissue autofluorescence reduces the signal detection sensitivity, and in some cases may cause failure in the detection of fluorescent dye signals. Accordingly, there is a need for further improved methods to decrease the autofluorescence intensity from microscopy samples both in research and clinical venues. Described herein is a photobleaching device utilizing a light source tuned to the full spectrum of light to quench autofluorescence of a biological sample.

Downey, Ryan James
Abrégé
The present disclosure provides systems and methods for removing artifacts from data signals. One such method comprises obtaining a data signal across a plurality of data channels, wherein the data signal has artifacts across one or more channels; obtaining a reference signal representing noise activity across a plurality of noise channels; analyzing the data signal with the reference signal to identify noise components that exist within both the data signal and the reference signal; scaling the noise components to project upon the data signal across the plurality of channels; and/or cleaning the data signal by subtracting the scaled noise components from the data signal across individual ones of the data channels. Other methods and systems are also provided.

Gao, Tianqi

Abrégé
Mass spectrometry (MS) based systems and methods of implementing multi-stage MS/MS analysis for identification of experimental glycolipid samples. A processor communicatively coupled to a memory and a reference spectral database (1) implements a first stage analysis of glycan fragment data including determining, based on a matching reference glycan of a candidate reference glycolipid, a glycan structure of a glycan portion of the experimental glycolipid. The processor further (2) implements a second stage analysis of lipid/glycolipid fragment data including determining a lipid structure of a lipid portion of the experimental glycolipid by performing a spectral comparison of one or more MS/MS spectral values of a shifted experimental lipid fragment data with one or more MS/MS spectral values of matching reference lipid/glycolipid fragment data of the candidate reference glycolipid. A combination of the determined glycan structure and lipid structure gives the structure of each specific glycolipid in the experimental glycolipid sample.
