Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to a method and a device for determining the cell activation of a target cell by an activator, said method having the following steps: provision of a probe measuring device with a probe sample arrangement having a measuring probe and a sample holder; loading of the probe sample arrangement with a target cell and with an activator assigned to the target cell, the measuring probe being loaded with the activator, and the sample holder being loaded with the target cell, or vice versa; relative mutual displacement of the measuring probe and the sample holder until contact is made between the target cell and the activator by means of a displacement apparatus of the probe measuring device; recording of measurement values, indicating binding between the target cell and the activator, for the measuring probe with the probe measuring device during the relative displacement of the measuring probe and the sample holder; and determination of a dimension for the cell activation of the target cell from the measurement values recorded.
