Topic: IFN-g

We have developed a robotic platform allowing us to monitor cytokines dynamics (including IL-2, IFN-g, TNF, IL-6) of immune cells in vitro, with unprecedented resolution. To understand the complex emerging dynamics, we use interpretable machine learning techniques to build a generative model of cytokine response. We discover that, surprisingly, immune activity is encoded into one global parameter, encoding ligand antigenic properties and to a less extent ligand quantity. Based on this we build a simple interpretable model which can fully explain the broad variability of cytokines dynamics. We
