Connect Immune Recognition To Functional Response

Markers Identify Immune Cells. Secretions reveal response.

Immune responses are shaped by what cells recognize, how they activate, what they secrete, how they kill or suppress, and how they communicate with other cells. But many workflows still separate identity, specificity, and function. Nanovials bring secreted immune function into a sortable, recoverable format, helping researchers connect immune cell identity with antigen recognition and functional response.

A sortable single-cell immunoassay for immune function

A familiar antibody-sandwich immunoassay format, analyzed by flow cytometry, so secretion readouts can be combined with the FACS markers, viability dyes, and gating strategies you already use.

How it works

Interrogate the immune responses that matter most

Vaccine response and antigen presentation

Pair APCs and T cells to profile antigen presentation, antigen-specific activation, and vaccine-relevant immune responses.

B cell function and antibody discovery

Identify antibody-secreting cells and recover functional clones based on secretion level and antigen-specific binding.

T cell activation and cytokine secretion

Measure secreted cytokines from viable T cells after antigen-specific or polyclonal stimulation, alongside immunophenotyping and activation markers.

Immune cell-target cell interactions and engagers

Co-localize immune cells with target cells to study interaction-driven biology, including tumor-T cell interactions, NK-target interactions, and T cell engager assays.

Antigen-specific T cell and TCR discovery

Prioritize T cells by antigen recognition and secreted function, then recover cells for receptor sequencing or downstream validation.

CAR-T and engineered T cell screening

Compare engineered T cell candidates by secretion output, target-dependent response, inflammatory cytokine profiles.
