almost perfect negative populationslightly shifted Frequency of events unstained Overlay stained Signal intensity (fluorescence) Controls
Autofluorescence Analysed with Flowjo (http://www.flowjo.com)(Windows and Mac, can read all file types)
Take home messageAntibody controls • Best negative control: cellular control:-> specific antibody on cells that do not express the antigen • Isotype controls are problematic because:the ratio of fluorochrome to antibody always varies between different antibody conjugate • Background autofluorescence as well as unspecific staining is different for different cell types (Lymphocytes versus macrophages; large cells versus small cells)

Why you have to compensate A: FL-1 signal in detector for FL2 (strong for FITC into PE) B: FL2 signal in detector for FL1 (weak for PE into FITC)

Take home messageCompensation controls • All single colour stainings (i.e. for FITC/PE staining):single FITC labeled + single PE labeledfor 4-colour experiment: 4 controls • Use markers where at least 5 - 10 % positive cells are expected • Use strong signals for compensation • For tandem dyes (PE-Cy5 etc...): the experimental antibody conjugate has to be used for compensation control (different conjugate ratios! And even Lot to Lot variation!) • Prepare a lot of cells (and volume) for the compensation controls as it take time to set up the machine • Some new programms (and FACS machines work with software compensation

Zellsortierung am MoFlo • Max. Sortiergeschwindigkeit 20.000 Zellen / SekundeBeispiel: 3 Maus-Milzen ca. 200 Mio Zellen-> ca. 4 Std. • Voranreicherung z.B. durch MACS ermöglicht noch mehr Durchsatz • Verschiedene „Purity Modes“: single cell, enrich, purewesentlicher Unterschied: Geschwindigkeit versus abort rate => Ausbeute • Einzelzell-Sortierung in Zellkulturplatten möglich • Sterilität? • Sensitivität niedriger als am FACScalibur (Quarzküvette versus Luft) • Filtern der Zellsuspension sehr wichtig: Nozzledurchmesser 70 mM (Shapiros Law!) • Kühlung ist möglich und wichtig für längere Sorts von lebenden Zellen (Capping) • In die Auffangröhrchen Medium / FCS vorlegen! • Nach dem Sort länger und mit höherer Drehzahl abzentrifugierenKontrollversuch: 5 min 1200 U/min 50% Ausbeute, 10 min 2000 U/min -> mehr als 90% Ausbeute entspr.
