Summary

  • To rigorously compare different CAR constructs and identify unwanted behavior such as tonic (antigen-independent) signaling, CAR function should be evaluated within the complex milieu of the immune synapse, using cancer cell killing as the readout.
  • Typical release assays (51Cr, LDH) have historically been the gold standard, but suffer from the fact that they require significant “hands-on” time and only provide end-point data.
  • By combining the strengths of real-time impedance monitoring (simplicity, analytical sensitivity, and objectivity) with that of live cell imaging (specificity of the readout), eSight increases the information richness of the CAR T cell‑killing assay without increasing the workload
