SURVEILLANCE D'IMPÉDANCE DE SUBSTRAT CELLULAIRE DE CELLULES CANCÉREUSES DE LIGNÉE, D'ORIGINE OU DE STADE DIFFÉRENTS

摘要

A method of assessing cytolysis of cancer cells, the method including: providing a cellsubstrate impedance monitoring cartridge having a plurality of chambers, each chamber having an electrode array configured for measuring cell-substrate impedance, wherein different chambers are preloaded with different target cells embodied as cancer cells of different lineage, origin or stage; adding effector cells to the plurality chambers for interaction with the target cells, wherein the effector cells are immune cells; monitoring cellsubstrate impedance of the plurality of chambers before and after adding the effector cells and optionally deriving an impedance-based parameter from the impedances; and determining effectiveness of effector cell killing of the different target cells by comparing the impedances or impedance-based parameters over time.
