摘要

Confocal Raman micro-spectroscopy (CRMS) was used to measure spectral images of immunologicalnsynapse formation between dendritic and T cells without using molecular labels or other invasivenprocedures. The purpose-built inverted CRMS instrument integrated an environmental enclosure andna near-infrared laser to allow measurements on live cells maintained under physiological conditions.nThe integration of the wide-field fluorescence also enabled viability assays and direct comparisonnbetween Raman spectral images and gold-standard immuno-fluorescence images for specific molecules.nRaman spectral images of nucleus and proteins were built by fuzzy c-mean clustering method. ThenRaman images were found to be in good correspondence with the immuno-fluorescence images ofnDNA and actin. These results indicate that actin is a main contributor to the Raman spectrum of thencytoplasm of dendritic and T cells. While for control cells the Raman spectral images of proteinsnindicated a more homogeneous distribution of proteins in the cytoplasm of dendritic cells, theynindicated a higher accumulation of proteins at the immunological synapses when dendritic cells werenpre-treated with laminin. These conclusions were also supported by confocal immuno-fluorescencenimaging after cell fixation and labelling. This study demonstrates the potential of CRMS for label-freennon-invasive imaging of junctions between live cells. Therefore, this technique may become a usefulntool for studying cellular processes in live cells and where non-invasive molecular specific imaging isndesirable, such as cell–cell interactions.
