Abstract
Using high-throughput quantitative phase imaging (QPI) flow cytometry, we demonstrate that label-free single-cell image-based analysis allows the classification of the key human T cell subpopulations, CD4+ and CD8+ cells. Going beyond the existing QPI cytometers, we show that the high-dimensional biophysical phenotypic profiles extracted from this large-scale QPI platform display the label-free statistical power to unambiguously reveal the respective activation changes of the CD4+ and CD8+ cells subpopulations which are costimulated with anti-CD3/CD28. The findings are validated with the standard activation marker CD25. This work has further substantiated the potential of adopting label-free QPI cytometry for in-depth functional immune cell profiling.
