- physical or physical stimuli such as the application of alternating electromagnetic fields, light intensity or temperature control, and the like may be used, either for the entire cell sample or cell culture or locally limited.
- Metabolic performance of cells is typically measured by the addition of substrates that are transposed by the cells. Metabolic performance in this case is measured indirectly by the extent of reaction of the added substrates. Concentration changes of test substances in the whole cell suspension provide information about the activity of the cells. In addition, measurements of electrical potentials on cell surfaces, which are indirect, are possible for specific questions
- test substances mostly dyes or radioactively labeled test substances
- test results are therefore not based solely on the reaction of the cells to the investigating active or pollutants. It is often unknown to what extent the application of the investigational reagents changes the actual interpretation of the results.
- known methods usually only a single test with a cell sample is possible at the same time. However, long-term observations with repeated application of test substances and dyes are often not possible.
- the invention has for its object to provide a method and an apparatus that allows a Zeilprobendiagnostik on a cell sample or cell culture, with which a fast, accurate and damage-specific and cell-type specific spatially resolved analysis is possible.

- the method according to the invention is based on the observation that animal and human cells behave and move as their environment changes according to specific behavioral patterns. In addition to cell death characteristic changes in the cell shape are specific for specific damage patterns
- animal or human cells or other cells are kept on a glass plate, in a Petri dish or in a special solution, for example a special nutrient solution.
- Suitable sample carriers are, for example, bone substitutes or other carrier materials which are used, for example, for biocompatibility tests.
- Typical cell types studied in this way are, for example Connective tissue cells, liver cells, peritoneal cells, blood cells or nerve cells, wherein the applicability of the method according to the invention is not limited to these cell types.
- the method according to the invention is based on the optical detection of cells in at least one section of the cell sample or cell culture, which may be a culture of single cells or a cell carpet or a multi-dimensional reconstruction of cell clusters or cells on carrier materials. The detection takes place, for example, in the optically visible range
- Grayscale analyzes or color shades In addition to light microscopy, phase contrast microscopy, fluorescence microscopy and laser scanning microscopy are also suitable for use with the method according to the invention. In particular, laser scanning microscopy offers the advantageous possibility of evaluating three-dimensional images.
- the evaluation of the video signal can be done on-line during the recording or off-line based on the completed video recording.
- the process according to the invention can be carried out alone or compared with conventional processes, which are often carried out in parallel. It allows the u. a. also directly comparing the effects of different drug concentrations and evaluating the cell's responses to it.
- a property encompassed by the invention is preferably a cell shape, a cell circumference, a cell area, a number or size of cell spurs, a ratio of sizes of cell spurs, a cell nucleus location in the cytoplasm, a cell nuclear to plasma size ratio, a cell surface to cell ratio a movement pattern with a direction of movement and a movement speed or a number of cell divisions or cell mergers.
- these variables are characteristically variable.
- a detected property is a movement pattern with changes in location, wherein interactions between neighboring cells are detected, in particular between different cells of the same type and / or between cells of different types and / or species, or wherein the ratio of
- Self-movement of at least one individualized cell is detected to cell collective movements.
- a characteristic response to a local stimulus is movement of the cell away from a damage stimulus or to an attractant.
- Even more complicated reaction patterns occur in the change of location of cells or the change in their interactions, in which two or more of the above properties change in a certain way.
- the parameters mentioned are typical parameters of the cell appearance and of the movement and activity pattern of the cells, which react to the addition of substances or physical stimuli.
- a cell that is damaged may either expand or contract, the nucleus may change its shape or size, the activity of the foothills and the number and
- Extent of shoots may decrease or increase, the number of cell contacts, displacement of neighboring cells, penetration of cell aggregates or neighboring cells, cell mergers, rejections, cell divisions or resolutions may increase or decrease, damaged individualized cells may move against cell collective movements, etc.
- the analysis of the individualized cell or cells according to the invention is based on a, in particular dynamic, measurement of the
- the videomicroscopic recognition of properties of the individualized cell on the basis of individual recordings of the video signal in particular automatically happens, wherein for each individual recording of the video signal one or more of the following steps are performed cumulatively: a) detection the cell wall and in particular calculation of the area content of the cell, and in particular determination of the position of the cell in the detected section, b) detection of the cell nucleus and the nuclear boundary and in particular calculation of the area of the cell nucleus, the nuclear-plasma relation and / or the orientation of the nucleus in the
- Cell c) detecting cell organelles and / or inclusions and determining their position relative to the cell nucleus and the cell wall.
- Cumulative execution in this context means that at least the process step a), or the process steps a) and b) or the process steps a), b) and c) are performed.
- the steps mentioned relate to the detection of the geometric relationships of the cell in the individual image of the video signal, whose changes is examined in the sequence of individual images.
- the detection of the cell wall at the same time also allows the determination of Zellausrichrn and the calculation of a suitably calculated Zellausrichr index, especially in relation to the surface of the cell. From the obtained geometric data of the cell and the
- Nuclei and the cell organelles can be derived essential properties.
- the detection of the cell wall or of the cell nucleus also includes, in particular, the detection of the location at which the cell or the nucleus is located, so that an absolute movement of the entire cell or of the cell nucleus can also be tracked from one single exposure to the next.
- a detected property is a time, a period of time, a frequency, or a frequency in which or at which a detected property changes. This makes the dynamics of the changes particularly clear.
- the dynamics of the changes in the detected properties form an important part of the method according to the invention.
- the comparison values are preferably snapshots of acquired properties or temporal developments of detected properties on the basis of known functional, vitality and / or damage states and / or their changes. Thus, it can be examined whether the extent and / or rapidity of a measured change of detected properties corresponds to a known damage state, or whether the change is within the normal range of vital or healthy cells. The variability of the properties in healthy or damaged cells is taken into account.
- the detection of properties and their comparison with comparative values is carried out for a plurality of individualized cells, in particular forming a cell group, wherein preferably between 5 and 500 cells, more preferably between 10 and 100 cells, are examined. The examination is carried out in particular by sampling.
- the study of culture mixtures with different types of cells can also be carried out, the high spatial resolution with respect to the cell type and the interactions of the individual different cells being particularly advantageous.
- the cell sample or cell culture is a mixed culture of at least two different cell types or cell types. Also, three to five different cell types can be examined in this way.
- the inventive method is theoretically not limited to the top.
- the performance of the video-microscopic device used and the computing capacity of the data processing systems used for the analysis place an upper limit on the number of different cells to be investigated simultaneously, and in particular cell types.
- An investigation based on culture mixtures can in practice also be followed by an examination of initially only one cell type.
- the videomicroscopic detection takes place while the cell culture is incubated, in particular with a chemical or pharmacological substance and / or under the action of one or more physical stimuli.
- the comparison value is from a cell thereof Cell type whose functional, vitality and / or damage state is known.
- the comparison value from the same cell or a cell of the same cell type originates from the captured segment earlier in the measurement period.
- the two alternatives can also be mixed with several recorded properties.
- the first mentioned alternative is particularly advantageous for known cell types for which reference values are known.
- the latter alternative is advantageous because it also allows for detecting relative changes in the observation of cells during incubation with previously unknown drugs, which may be sufficient for statements to assess the effect of incorporated substances.
- the dynamics of previously unknown cells can be investigated, such as the description of the growth of tumor cells of a patient and characterization of the effects of various drugs on these cells. Since these are patient-specific tumor cells, there are usually no comparative data for this particular cell line, but the effects of substances on these cells are important.
- preferably positive and / or negative controls of the cell sample or cell culture are incubated and recorded by video-microscopy and the at least one detected property is also recorded for at least one individualized cell of the control and used as comparison value.
- the procedure is carried out under standard culture conditions. In particular environmental factors, in particular temperature, carbon dioxide content or light are changed.
- the technical implementation of the new measurement method is carried out by videomicroscopic recording of cell growth and cell movement under cell culture conditions.
- the cells to be examined are incubated with the test substance and observed over a period of usually four to twelve hours. The period can be shorter or longer.
- the cell changes are recorded in a, in particular digital, video film or video signal from a sequence of individual images. This sequence of individual images from the video signal represents the data basis for the following data analysis.
- the video-microscopic acquisition is performed with a refresh rate of 0.01 Hz to 1
- Hz 1 in particular between 0.05 Hz to 0.2 Hz, in particular of 0.1 Hz made. This corresponds to a spacing between the individual images of 1 to 100 s, in particular 5 to 20 s, in particular 10 s. These intervals are based on the typical velocities and change times of the cell cultures or
- the image repetition rate may preferably also be variable, whereby, for example, after the addition of an active substance, it is first recorded with a comparatively high image repetition rate in order to record the immediate reaction in detail, while in the course of the examination period the distances between individual images become greater if the activity of the examined Cells subsides. This achieves a reduction in the amount of data to be processed without affecting the accuracy of the analysis. lysis.
- Data analysis relies on a large database of cell movement data, which stores comparative data or reference data obtained during studies under well-defined environmental conditions with known toxic agents.
- this database also contains data on cell-cell interactions and interactions with physical structures or stimuli in combination with known drugs. Data for cell cultures with one to three cell types or even more cell types are stored in the database. By computer-aided comparison of the new data with the results from the database and / or a positive or negative sample statements with respect to the effects and toxicity of different drugs are possible.
- the database does not contain any videomicroscopic individual images or image sequences, but only the parameterizations of the abovementioned properties. This leads to a very efficient data reduction.
- the method according to the invention requires no additional reagents which would cause a falsification of the test environment and make the interpretation of the measured values difficult.

- the index indicated by the reference numeral 22, which indicates the movement of the cell as a whole, is initially flat, while it also decreases significantly after about an hour. After 1 hour in the toxic dialysis solution, the cells thus lose their mobility in the medium, ie the change of location, speed and the directionality of the movement. After about 2 Vz hours, the index 22 drops only slightly. However, after 2 ⁇ A hours, this index 22 moves at a fraction of the level at the beginning of the measurement. The cell movement has therefore essentially come to a standstill.
- the third index, reference numeral 21, has a flatter course. A first relatively significant change relates to a decrease after about 2 hours, after which the cell shape, the total cell area and also the number of shoots decrease. This decrease continues in the further course of the measurement.
