Map entire immune responses

From easily accessible blood

Acute immune responses to infection rely on dramatic changes in the immune cell composition. This action is now measurable in peripheral blood through the TokuProfile.

Understanding the natural response to an infectious disease and how a therapy works at a cellular level can improve trial design and accelerate candidates to approval.

Immune profiling by mass cytometry is becoming an essential tool in vaccine development.

Deep immune profiling enables more complete understanding and informed decision making

TokuProfile identifies:

  • Abundance of different immune cell types
  • Activation scores for each immune cell type
  • Rational targets for suggested combination
  • Immune features associated with response

The assumption is that CD8 T-cells need to be targeted directly. However, this leads to therapy failure.

Profiling reveals that even though CD8 T-cells appear suppressed, the actual issue is with the Dendritic Cells not being active.
