Presentation Transcript

  1. Cell viability studies Sepideh Khoshnevis

  2. The Goal • To distinguish live cells from dead and apoptotic cells in order to calculate the the percentage of viable cells for each experiment

  3. Cell viability study • Trypan blue studies • Finding data for a small population • a good first order approximation • Flow cytometry • Processing a large volume of data in a reasonable time

  4. BD FACSCalibur

  5. How does flow cytometer work? • It is made up of three systems • Fluidics • Optics • Laser • Filters • electronics

  6. introduction to flow cytometry, BD biosciences

  7. fluidics • Hydrodynamic focusing introduction to flow cytometry, BD biosciences

  8. Light Scatter • Forward scatter (FSC) • Proportional to cell size • Side scatter (SSC) • Proportional to cell granularity or internal complexity • FSC vs. SSC plot • Isolating mixture of cell population

  9. Differentiation of cell types introduction to flow cytometry, BD biosciences

  10. Fluorescence • Fluorescent dyes • Fluorochrome conjugated antibodies

  11. Optical bench diagram introduction to flow cytometry, BD biosciences

  12. Signal detection • When the particles enters the laser beam light signal is being produced • Light is converted to voltage by photodetectors • Photodiode • Photomultiplier tube • Size of voltage pulse depends on the number of photons detected • The height of the voltage pulse dictate what channel it falls under

  13. Creation of voltage pulse

  14. Data display • Histogram • Dot plots • Multi dimensional plots

  15. Current protocols in cytometry

  16. Current protocols in cytometry

  17. Current protocols in cytometry

  18. Gating • Isolating the population of interest • Cluster analysis • Further analysis of a subpopulation
