SINGAPORE, Dec. 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Our body's immune system is a complex network of organs, cells, and proteins that work in synchrony to protect our bodies against infections caused by pathogens and fight against disease-causing changes in our body, such as the emergence of cancer cells. Cell-mediated cytotoxicity is one of such defence mechanisms carried out by the immune system that fights against foreign cells.

Key Points: 
  • "The novel methodology proposed by my team is highly selective in identifying the killer cells capable of efficiently eliminating a target cell.
  • During cell-mediated cytotoxicity, some immune cells can destroy foreign cells through cell lysis by releasing proteins that trigger a cascade of cellular processes that destroy foreign cells.
  • The researchers named this new method PAINTKiller (for 'proximity affinity intracellular transfer identification of killer cells').
  • The NUS researchers used an intracellular staining dye known as carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester (CFSE) to stain the foreign cells.
