2. 2 Agenda Today, the state of our industry is strong, and getter stronger.
Let me share some data with you to underline this point.
First, important to many of you in this room, our financial situation is greatly improved. Biotech financing is steadily improving, with more than $14B raised so far this year, compared to $12B in the first 9 months of 2003, and $9 B in all of 2001
There is no doubt that Imclone and others have caused investors to put a premium on lower risk, later stage developments, but companies at various stages are still attracting capital.
We also see much greater stability – in terms of cash on hand – with nearly 70% of companies in the industry holding more than two years’ cash.

5. 5 Introduction to Flow Cytometry Flow Cytometry
Is a commonly used tool to analyze and/or isolate single cell suspensions. The cells are typically stained with light fluorescent dyes, placed in a fluid stream and pass as single cell a Laser. The emitted light measures several parameters like:
Size of the cell
Granularity of the cell
Emitted light of dyes (if the cells are stained)
Flow Cytometry is used in all branches of Medicine e.g. :
Diagnostic (e.g. CD4 to CD8 Ratio in HIV Patients)
Oncology (specific cancer markers, apoptosis)
Immunology (phenotype analysis)
Dermatology (Allergy)

19. 19 Why use ZENON? Simple
No need to use secondary antibodies anymore
Speed
Zenon labeling complexes are ready to use for cell staining within 5 minutes…
Quantitative Labeling
100% of the primary antibody sample is labeled.
No Preparation
Removal of exogenous proteins such as serum albumin
from primary antibody samples is unnecessary.
Compatibility
Multiple Zenon One–labeled mouse antibodies can be used
in the same immunolabeling protocol.
Economy
A standard Zenon labeling requires only 1 µg of primary antibody
(versus 100 µg for chemical labeling).
Save time and money.

24. 24 Permeant Nucleic Acid Dyes Dyes which have the ability to penetrate an intact cell membrane to stain nucleic acid are classified as live-cell, or cell-permeant nucleic acid dyes. These dyes can be used for determining the DNA content of viable cells.
Examples include:
Hoechst dyes dsDNA
Vybrant ® DyeCycle™ Violet stain dsDNA
Vybrant ® DyeCycle™ Green stain dsDNA
Vybrant ® DyeCycle™ Orange stain dsDNA
SYTO® 13 stain DNA/RNA Hoechst dyes (UV excitation) and DyeCycleViolet bind in the minor groove region of DNA with preference for AT groups.
DyeCycle Green and DyeCycle Orange probably are intercalating dyes.
SYTO dyes not DNA specific, but the DyeCycle stains and Hoechst dyes ARE specific for DNA.
With DNA-selective dyes, Cells are incubated in the presence of dye and NO additional treatment is necessary (ie fix/perm/RNase), which allows for the possibility of sorting

26. 26 Viability:
Cell membrane forms intact barrier Vitality:
Cell mediates active processes Viability & Vitality Viability and vitality are principally used to enumerate the proportion of live and dead cells in a population. The diversity of live cells and their environments makes it impossible to devise a single assay applicable to all cell types.
Viability is often used to refer to the integrity of the plasma membrane. Cells that successfully exclude impermeant reagents, such as trypan blue or propidium iodide, are considered viable.
Vitality is often used to refer to cells that display active metabolic or energetic processes. Cells containing esterases that cleave non-fluorescent carboxyfluorescein analogs to fluorescent fluorescein are considered vital.
There is obviously a gray zone between these determinations: cells may show enzyme activity after the plasma membrane starts to degrade; cells may lose some metabolic functions before membrane damage becomes apparent.

27. 27 Viability & Vitality: LIVE/DEAD® Kits Molecular Probes provides a number LIVE/DEAD® kit combinations that can provide viability or vitality assessments for a variety of experimental conditions. LIVE/DEAD Viability Assay kits provide the reagents with simple protocols for fluorescence-based assessment of numbers of live and dead cells.
LIVE/DEAD Viability / Cytotoxicity Kit. Calcein AM and ethidium homodimer-1 provide an accurate general-purpose assay of cytotoxic events.1-3 Calcein AM is cleaved by cell esterases to form green-fluorescent calcein; ethidium homodimer-1 is an impermeant dye that fluoresces red in the nuclei of dead cells. This assay is more dependable than those using trypan blue, and it is faster, less expensive and safer than 51Cr-release assays. The ease, reliability and low cost of this kit make it economical for high-throughput screening of cytotoxic agents.
LIVE/DEAD Cell-Mediated Cytotoxicity Kit. The two-color fluorescence assay results correlate well with those obtained using the conventional 51Cr-release cell-mediated cytotoxicity assay.4 DiOC18(3) is a membrane probe that labels all cells; propidium iodide labels dead cells. Samples may be monitored for cell-mediated toxicity over the course of many hours without the hazards and disposal problems encountered using radioactive probes.
LIVE/DEAD Reduced Biohazard Viability / Cytotoxicity Kits. The viability stains used in these kits remain in place after the sample is fixed (allows inactivation of pathogens). Samples may be fixed at various times during an experiment and analyzed up to several hours later. Kits #2-#4 (L23101, L23102, L23105) only contain one fluorescent dye and are based on the principle of cytoplasmic exclusion in viable cells. Basically, Live cells only react weakly to the fluorescent molecules on the cell surface. Dead cells with compromised plasma membranes allow the fluorescent dye to enter the cytoplasm generating a significantly brighter signal.
LIVE/DEAD Sperm Viability Kit. SYBR® 14 dye stains the DNA of all cells; propidium iodide stains the DNA of damaged cells. Assessing sperm viability with this assay is accomplished in only 5-10 minutes, much more rapidly than with conventional stains. The fluorescent stains in the kit are excited in the visible wavelength range, avoiding harm to the sperm from exposure to UV. Researchers have documented the use of this kit with a variety of species and experimental conditions.5-9 This kit can be adapted to other cell types.

28. 28 Loss of Membrane Asymmetry: Annexin V Loss of membrane asymmetry, characterized by an increased expression of phosphatidylserine (PS) on the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane, is a hallmark of apoptosis. Annexin V is widely used to detect elevated expression of PS on the outer surface of the cell. Molecular Probes offers an extensive selection of fluorescent annexin V conjugates, shown above with their peak (excitation/emission) wavelengths. We have also bundled these into easy to use combinations with impermeant dyes and other reagents: the Vybrant line of kits.

29. 29 Loss of Membrane Asymmetry: Annexin V In viable cells, phosphatidylserine (PS) is located on the cytoplasmic surface of the cell membrane. As cells undergo apoptosis, PS is translocated to the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane and exposed to the extracellular environment.1 The human vascular anti-coagulant, annexin V, is a 35-36 kD Ca2+-dependent phospholipid-binding protein that has a high affinity for PS.2 Annexin V, labeled with a fluorophore or biotin, can identify apoptotic cells by binding to PS exposed on the outer leaflet (see cartoon).3
Molecular Probes has collaborated with NeXins Research BV, the original developer of fluorescent PS-binding proteins, to provide the brightest annexin V conjugates available.These conjugates are included in many of the Vybrant Apoptosis Assay kits. Most of these kits contain labeled annexin V as well as a cell impermeant nucleic acid stain to serve as a label for late apoptotic and/or necrotic cells (see cartoon).
A typical annexin V staining result is shown in the dot plots to the right. Jurkat cells, either untreated (top) or induced to apoptosis with camptothecin (bottom), were stained with Alexa Fluor 488 annexin V and Propidium iodide (Vybrant Apoptosis Assay Kit #2, V13241). The camptothecin-treated cells in the bottom plot show an elevated number of apoptotic and dead cells.
