Single cell suppression profiling of human regulatory T cells by Jonas Nørskov Søndergaard, Janyerkye Tulyeu, David Priest, Shimon Sakaguchi, James B. Wing

“…Traditionally their suppressive function has been assayed by mixing purified cell populations, which does not provide an accurate picture of a physiologically relevant response. To overcome this limitation, we here develop ‘single cell suppression profiling of human Tregs’ (scSPOT). scSPOT uses a 52-marker CyTOF panel, a cell division detection algorithm, and a whole PBMC system to assess the effect of Tregs on all other cell types simultaneously. …”
