Bayview Immunomics Core (BIC)

Overview of Services

The Bayview Immunomics Core (BIC) was initially established in 2008 as a flow cytometry core to meet the biomedical research needs of Johns Hopkins Investigators located on the Bayview Campus. We have since expanded to include immunoassays and renamed the core the BIC.  The flow cytometry service center is uniquely embedded among research groups interested in problems related to immune based human diseases and relevant animal models and promotes an interactive and collaborative approach.  We are presently equipped with a Cytek Aurora 5-laser spectral flow cytometer with a 40-parameter capability order and analysis workstations for off-line data analysis. The instruments are maintained using the highest standards of quality control and are available for analysis to certified and trained users. Our core staff offers free consultation services.

We also have on site a Meso Scale Diagnostics multi-analyte system capable of sensitive (subnanogram) multiplex based detection of soluble mediators in fluid sources. Meso Scale developed an electrochemiluminescence-based detection system that offers several advantages in comparison to standard ELISAs including high sensitivity, a broad dynamic range, low background and increased reproducibility.  This instrument employs standard or custom plates, and assays can be run and read by core or investigator's lab staff. Access requires an initial consult.
