Flow Contract Site Laboratory is celebrating its 10th Anniversary!
It has been an amazing journey! FCSL was founded by Lynette Brown and Jennifer J. Stewart on September 1st, 2009, in Kirkland, Washington. Fast forward 10 years, we occupy a beautifully custom designed lab and office space in Bothell, WA.
Starting with a narrow goal focusing on NHP TBNK samples, we have been exposed to many more types of projects then we could ever have imagined. We are honored to have been able to impart our expertise to the field of flow cytometry via our website, publications, presentations at meetings, and representation on industry spanning committees.
FCSL thanks all its past and current clients in helping us to achieve this memorable milestone. We look forward to continued collaborations and mutual success over the next decade.
It’s been an amazing 10 years! Join us in this celebration!
Warm Regards,
Lynette & Jennifer

T cell exhaustion is a state of dysfunction that arises during chronic infection and cancer. Exhaustion is defined by poor effector function, the sustained expression of multiple inhibitory receptors (IR, including PD-1, CTLA-4, LAG3, TIM3, TIGIT, CD244, CD160 and others), reduced proliferative capacity, and an altered transcriptome that is distinct from that of functional effector or memory T cells. Reviving exhausted T cells holds much therapeutic promise, especially for patients with cancer. The combined blockade of PD-1 and other IR is a current focus of numerous drug development programs. Flow cytometry plays a crucial role in this process, and is used to both identify Exhausted T cells, and to monitor immunotherapies that target their IR.

We just returned from a successful CYTO2019 meeting!
CYTO is the premier meeting for showcasing the state of the art and science of cytometry. We had the opportunity to network, and hear cutting edge talks in the field. Highlights of CYTO2019 included sessions on extracellular vesicles (EV), cell therapies, automated gating, infectious disease, immunotherapies, and the Robert Hooke Lecture given by Dr. Irv Weissman (Stanford), on Normal and Neoplastic Stem Cells.
FCSL also presented two very well-received posters on Assessing Innate Immune Cell Function using Flow Cytometry, and the Detection of Cytokine mRNA in Stimulated Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells using Flow Cytometry.
FCSL is a contract flow cytometry lab supporting all phases of the drug development process. If you are interested in learning more about us, or would like a copy of our posters and/or other literature, please contact us.
