METHODS FOR NON-INVASIVE, LABEL-FREE IMAGING OF CELLULAR IMMUNE RESPONSE IN HUMAN SKIN USING A NONLINEAR OPTICAL MICROSCOPY IMAGING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18202874 titled 'METHODS FOR NON-INVASIVE, LABEL-FREE IMAGING OF CELLULAR IMMUNE RESPONSE IN HUMAN SKIN USING A NONLINEAR OPTICAL MICROSCOPY IMAGING SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
- The patent application describes noninvasive methods for identifying and characterizing immune cell populations in human skin. - The methods use advanced imaging systems based on nonlinear optical microscopy. - The images generated by the imaging systems are analyzed to detect, identify, differentiate, and quantify immune cell populations in human skin. - The immune cell populations are identified based on their morphological, metabolic, and behavioral signatures.
Original Abstract Submitted
The disclosure provides noninvasive methods for the in vivo identification and characterization of various immune cell populations in human skin. The methods of the disclosure employ advanced imaging systems based on nonlinear optical microscopy to generate images that are analyzed to detect, identify, differentiate, and quantify immune cell populations in human skin by their morphological, metabolic and behavioral signatures.
