Virtual biomarkers: predicting immune status using label-free holotomography of individual human monocytes and machine learning analysis

Abstract Sepsis is an abnormally dysregulated immune response against infection in which the human immune system ranges from a hyper-inflammatory phase to an immune-suppressive phase. Current assessment methods are limiting owing to time-consuming and laborious sample preparation protocols. We propose a rapid label-free imaging-based technique to assess the immune status of individual human monocytes. High-resolution intracellular compositions of individual monocytes are quantitatively measured in terms of the three-dimensional distribution of refractive index values using holotomography, which are then analyzed using machine-learning algorithms to train for the classification into three distinct immune states: normal, hyper-inflammation, and immune suppression. The immune status prediction accuracy of the machine-learning holotomography classifier was 83.7% and 99.9% for one and six cell measurements, respectively. Our results suggested that this technique can provide a rapid deterministic method for the real-time evaluation of the immune status of an individual..
