Label-free discrimination of human lymphoma cell sub-populations with microwave dielectric spectroscopy
Résumé
This paper deals with the label-free microwave die-lectric characterization of B lymphoma cell lines, the OCI-LY7, OCI-LY10 and OCI-LY18 ones, and demonstrates that the technique is able to discriminate these three sub-population cell lines with their different dielectric properties. Proof is given that such a differentiation is not due to a variation of cell size, viability or cells concentration, but to internal molecular differences. This constitutes a major result as it demonstrates for the first time that microwave dielectric spectroscopy is sufficiently sensitive using di-electric properties variations to distinguish very similar biological cell lines of the same phenotype, B lymphoma cell lines in our case, whereas such a detection is traditionally performed with marker-based and costly equipment or using heavy genetic methods.
