Immunophenotyping and Immunobiology

Research Interest:

  • Comprehensive Immunophenotyping in Healthy Individuals vs Disease Conditions to measure status of immune response

 

Research Work Areas Summary:

1. Human Neonatal Biology (Immunophenotyping/ Flowcytometry): Our approaches involved immunophenotypic characterization of umbilical cord blood cells in full-term appropriate and small for gestational age neonates using well standardize flowcytometry method. In our efforts to correlates the frequency of immune cells including T cells, B cells, NK cells, monocytes, neutrophils and dendritic cells and subsets of most of cell types with the birth weight and gestational age of babies.  Another approach to evaluate the immune cells indian neonates with overseas and identified the cellular composition of Indian and USA neonates.

2. Hemolytic Disease (Hematological disorders): One of collaborative approach as working on circulating monocytes (CD14+) develop a highly pro-inflammatory (CD14+CD16hi) and procoagulant phenotype when they engulf Hb-activated platelets, and are abundant in patients of PNH and SCD. These cells upon engulfment of Hb-activated platelets, monocytes differentiate into M1- macrophages.

3. Animal Parasite Immunology: Identification purification and characterization of immunogenic excretory/secretory protein from the parasitic nematode Haemonchus contortus of goat and sheep its interaction with host blood cells, which has vast implications in animal husbandry and in understanding host parasite relationship.
