  • Publication number: 20230341379
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and systems for high throughput assays for testing immune cell engager molecules and potential immune cell engager molecules. In some embodiments, multiple parameters, for example, in connection with engagement of tumor cells by immune cells such as T cells and in connection with tumor cell death, may be analyzed from the same samples in the assays, and, in some cases, may be analyzed simultaneously. In some embodiments, the methods and systems allow for determining the kinetics of various parameters.
