    摘要: Methods, apparatus, and computer programs for investigating and characterising side effects of a treatment having an intended or on-target effect on cells are described. The method can include identifying a group of on-target cellular features of the plurality of cells which are affected by the treatment and are related to the on-target effect. A group of off-target cellular features can also be identified which are different to the on-target cellular features and which are also affected by the treatment and which are related to the side effect. A measure of the side effect based on the off-target cellular features can be obtained. The treatment can then be characterised based on the measure of the side effect. A further method involves capturing an image of the population of treated cells and deriving cellular features from the image. An on-target effect signature, which is characteristic of the on-target effect is created from cellular features relating to cellular properties involved in the intended effect. A side effect signature, which is characteristic of a side effect to the on-target effect, is created using cellular features relating to cellular properties not involved in the intended effect. On-target effect and/or side effect metrics are obtained from the signatures which can be used to characterise the treatment.

    摘要: A method for calculating distances between stimulus response curves (e.g., dose response curves) allows classification of stimuli. The response curves show how the phenotype of one or more cells changes in response to varying levels of the stimulus. Each “point” on the curve represents quantitative phenotype or signature for cell(s) at a particular level of stimulus (e.g., dose of a therapeutic). The signatures are multivariate phenotypic representations of the cell(s). They include various features of the cell(s) obtained by image analysis. To facilitate the comparison of stimuli, distances between points on the response curves are calculated. First, the response curves may be aligned on a coordinate representing a separate distance, r, from a common point of negative control (e.g., the point where no stimulus is applied). Integration on r may be used to compute the distance between two response curves. The distance between response curves is used to classify stimuli.

    摘要: Image analysis methods and apparatus are used for distinguishing live and dead cells. The methods may involve segmenting an image to identify the region(s) occupied by one or more cells and determining the presence of a particular live-dead indicator feature within the region(s). In certain embodiments, the indicator feature is a cytoskeletal component such as tubulin. Prior to producing an image for analysis, cells may be treated with a marker that highlights the live-dead indicator in the image. In the case of tubulin, the marker will co-locate with tubulin and provide a signal that is captured in the image (e.g., a fluorescent emission).

    摘要: A method of generating classification models to predict biological activity of a population of cells is provided. In certain embodiments, the method involves a) receiving a training set having values for independent and dependent variables associated with populations of cells; b) clustering the training set; c) randomly selecting, with replacement, clusters of cell populations to construct multiple bootstrap samples of the size of the training set; and d) generating a random forest model for each bootstrap sample, wherein the ensemble of random forest models may be used to classify the test population. Also provided are methods of predicting whether a test population of cells exhibits a pathology or biological activity. In certain embodiments, the methods involve applying data about the test population of cells to an ensemble of random forest models. The prediction may be made by aggregating the predictions of the random forest models in the ensemble.
