COURSE OBJECTIVES • UNDERSTAND CLINICAL AND RESEARCH APPLICATIONS OF FLOW CYTOMETRY TECHNOLOGY • PERFORM STAINING TECHNIQUES • ANALYZE DATA • INTERPRET DATA AS PRESENTED IN BASIC SCIENCE AND CLINICAL SCIENCE LITERATURE
Flow Cytometry Principles And Applicationswww.vetmed.lsu.edu/facs
FLOW CYTOMETRY Fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) is a technology that allows simultaneous measurement of multiple physical and chemical characteristics of a single cell. These measurements are made on a per cell basis at routine rates of 500 to 70,000 cells per second in a moving stream.
FACS COMPONENTS • LASER • OPTICS • FLUIDICS • ELECTRONICS
LASER • ARGON • EMISSION LINE OF 488 nm • VISIBLE LIGHT
OPTICS • BEAM SPLITTERS • DICHROIC MIRRORS • LONG / SHORT PASS FILTERS • BAND PASS FILTERS
FLUIDICS • SAMPLE FLUID • SHEATH FLUID • FLOW CELL • NOZZLES, 70, 100, 400 um
ELECTRONICS • PHOTOMULTIPLIER TUBES (PMTs) • PHOTODIODE • MACINTOSH G3 COMPUTER
DATA PARAMETERS • FORWARD LIGHT SCATTER • 90o OR SIDE SCATTER • FLUORESCENCE EMISSION
FORWARD SCATTER • LIGHT SCATTER USED IS LOW ANGLE • SENSITIVE TO CELL SIZE AND SURFACE AREA • LIVE / DEAD DISCRIMINATION
SIDE SCATTER • LIGHT SCATTER USED IS 90o • SENSITIVE TO INTERNAL STRUCTURES
RIGHT ANGLE LIGHT SCATTER FORWARD ANGLE LIGHT SCATTER
BEST ANALYSIS USING FORWARD AND SIDE SCATTER TOGETHER; ANALYSIS OF HETEROGENEOUS POPULATIONS

MEASUREMENT OF APOPTOSIS • APOPTOSIS IS PROGRAMMED CELL DEATH WHERE THE CELL GOES THROUGH A HIGHLY REGULATED PROCESS OF “DYING” • CHARACTERISTICS ARE CONDENSATION OF THE CHROMATIN MATERIAL AND BLEBBING OF NUCLEAR MATERIAL • OFTEN ACCOMPANIED BY INTERNUCLEOSOMAL DEGRADATION OF DNA

CELL SORTING AS LIQUID IS EJECTED INTO AIR, IT WILL FORM DROPLETS BY VIBRATING THE NOZZLE AT A DEFINED FREQUENCY, THE SIZE OF THESE DROPLETS AND THE POSITION ALONG THE STREAM WHERE THEY FORM CAN BE CONTROLLED WITH PRECISION. A DROPLET CONTAINING A CELL IS APPLIED EITHER A NEGATIVE OR POSITIVE CHARGE AND SORTED BY PASSING THROUGH AN ELECTRIC FIELD.
