The basics of selecting fluorophores • Choose the brightest fluorophores that can be used on your instrument • Use brightest fluorophore for your least expressed protein • Use the dimmest fluorophore for your most highly expressed protein (CD45, CD8, CD3) • Avoid spillover from bright cell populations into detectors requiring high sensitvity • Spectral viewer tools • Use tandems with caution • Essential for large multicolor panels • Susceptible to degradation by light exposure or fixation • Prevent light exposure • Use appropriate fixation buffers and protocols • Avoid acidic buffer conditions with FITC labeled samples because FITC is sensitive to low pH • Avoid exposing samples and reagents to bright light • Avoid incubating cells in fixative for extended periods of time, as this may affect fluorescence, particularly of tandems dyes • Acquire samples with 6 hours of staining
Building a Panel Method to build panel – performance criteria Titrations May require stimulation to obtain maximum expression Saturation required for fluorescence quantitation Combining markers - spillover Empirical (MoFUN) Using single-stained titration files (OMIP 006) plus testing final panel options Instrument Controls Assay-specific target channels (Perfetto) Compensation beads - as bright as or brighter than cells
