  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SORTING T CELLS BY ACTIVATION STATE
    Publication number: 20230116814
    Abstract: Systems and methods for sorting T cells are disclosed. Autofluorescence data is acquired from individual cells. An activation value is computed using one or more autofluorescence endpoints as an input. The one or more autofluorescence endpoints includes NAD(P)H shortest fluorescence lifetime amplitude component (?1).
