What is Flow Cytometry? • Cytometry refers to the measurement of physical/chemical characteristics of cells or other biological particles. • Flow Cytometry is the process whereby such measurements are made upon cells/particles as they pass through a measuring apparatus (hopefully in single file) suspended in a fluid stream. 1968, Wolfgang Gohde from the University of Munster (Patent No. DE 1815352) named ‘pulse cytophotometry” 1978, the name was changed to ‘flow cytometry’ • Flow Sorting (Flow Cytometric Cell Sorting) extends flow cytometry with the additional capacity to divert and collect cells exhibiting an identifiable set of characteristics either mechanically or by electrical means (Flow Cytometric Analysis). • FACS - Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorting? FACS is a trademark of Becton Dickinson Immunocytometry Systems (BDIS). All FACS instruments are BDIS systems, but not all cytometers are FACS. Adapted from ppt by Dr. EDWARD F. SROUR

2. Single Color Compensation The single most common source of data error in multi-color flow cytometry experiments What is the Single Color Compensation? is the process by which we correct for fluorescence “spillover”. *video training @ http: //www. flowjo. com/
How important is proper compensation? The simple answer is that most of what we have been using flow to do for the past decade has not required absolutely correct compensation. For just determining the frequencies of populations, exact compensation is not necessary. This is because, for the most part, the subpopulations that we are interested in enumerating are easily distinguished on the basis of a bright reagent. However, proper compensation is absolutely necessary for 1) proper antigen density measurements 2) distinguishment dim populations from negative populations: under-compensation will result in overestimating the frequency of the dim cells; over-compensation will result in underestimating the frequency. Adapted from www. drmr. com/compensation
How does compensation work? 1. Determine the spectral overlap values by a single color 2. Calculate the compensation value As an example for correction, Correcting for FITC fluorescence appearing in the PE channel. if the amount of yellow fluorescein signal in the FL 2 channel is 15% of the green fluorescein signal in the FL 1 channel (i. e. , "15% compensation"), then we can exactly determine the "true" PE fluorescence of a cell, even in the presence of FITC fluorescence, as: PEtrue = PEmeasured - (0. 15) x FITCmeasured Correcting for PE fluorescence appearing in the FITC channel. For instance, if the amount of (green) PE signal in the fluorescein channel is 2% of the (yellow) signal in the PE channel (i. e. , "2% compensation"), then we can exactly determine the true FITC fluorescence of a cell as: FITCtrue = FITCmeasured - (0. 02) x PEmeasured Adapted from www. drmr. com/compensation Adapted from www. proimmune. com
Calculate compensation value
Myths about setting compensation 1) You should set your compensation on the same tissue you are going to analyze 2) Compensation controls should be the same intensity as the reagent to be use Bright reagents require more compensation than dim (dull) reagents 3) Compensation can be set by eye 4) Compensation settings can be saved and used from day-to-day 5) Improper compensation doesn’t affect the data very much
Requirements for Proper Compensation 1. The fluorescence spectrum (% spillover) of the compensation control reagent should be identical to the reagent used in the experiment Critical for tandem reagents even similar fluorochromes like FITC/Alexa 488 or APC/C 5 2. The negative and positive populations must have the same autofluorescence don’t use CD 3+ lymphocytes and CD 3 - monocytes 3. The positive population should be a bright as possible 4. Take enough events to get statically accurate numbers • Type of Single color control - BD Cali. BRITE™ beads, - Single-stained cellular controls; popular - Single-stained BD™ Comp.

Flow cytometry-based method for cytokine secretion by single cells is now commercially available. This method can be performed using whole blood or freshly separated PBMC (Oelke et al. , 2000). The cells stimulated with antigen for several hours to induce cytokine secretion by the antigen-responsive cells are incubated with a cytokine ‘catch’ reagent, which is a conjugate of anti. CD 45 and anti-cytokine antibodies. It attaches to the surface of all leucocytes and, subsequently, a cytokine secreted by the antigen-stimulated cell binds to the catch reagent. The cytokine-producing cells are visualised by a cytokine-specific detection antibody labelled with a fluorochrome and are quantified in a flow cytometer. If the isolation of cytokine-secreting cells is desired, magnetic beads coated with antifluorochrome antibodies can be used in an additional step. The antigenresponding cells are positively selected in the magnetic field, using a special column. The cells recovered from the column are viable and can be used for flow analysis or cell culture. The sensitivity of this method for the detection of antigen-specific, cytokine-secreting. Tcells, which are rare in the population, is one in 105 cells.
