The tumor microenvironment remains a significant barrier, limiting the effectiveness of cell therapies through several immunosuppressive mechanisms such as upregulating immune checkpoints that inhibit T-cell activity. The BTLA-HVEM axis has emerged as a critical factor in T cell inhibition and exhaustion, particularly in Hodgkin lymphoma, and in other cancers. Crucially, by integrating cell avidity analysis, the team at UPenn demonstrated that BTLA-deficient CAR-T cells exhibited increased binding to tumor targets, thereby enhancing potency.

Empowering scientists with tools that reveal crucial insights not available before, at the molecular and cellular level.
Over ons
LUMICKS is the leading supplier of dynamic single-molecule and cell avidity analysis instruments. Our instruments enable – for the first time – the analysis of complex dynamic details related to the behavior and interaction of single molecules and cells. Built upon innovative and Nobel Prize-winning technologies, such as optical tweezers (Nobel Prize for Physics 2018), and STED super-resolution (Nobel Prize for Chemistry 2014), our tools enable the understanding of life to the smallest detail. Our goal is to advance science and improve human health, by providing tools that unlock the measurement of forces and interactions in biology. For the first time ever, our unapparelled solutions can assist research by directly linking structural and ‘omics analysis to functional outcomes at both a molecular and a cellular level. This is achieved by applying and measuring forces around biological interactions, enabling the detailed real-time analysis of underlying biological mechanisms.
