چکیده

Systems biology along with what is now classified as cytomics provides an excellent opportunity for cytometry to become integrated into studies where identification of functional proteins in complex cellular mixtures is desired. The combination of cell sorting with rapid protein-profiling platforms offers an automated and rapid technique for greater clarity, accuracy, and efficiency in identification of protein expression differences in mixed cell populations. The integration of cell sorting to purify cell populations opens up a new area for proteomic analysis. This article outlines an approach in which well defined cell analysis and separation tools are integrated into the proteomic programs within a core laboratory. In addition we introduce the concepts of flow cytometry sorting to demonstrate the importance of being able to use flow cytometry as a cell separation technology to identify and collect purified cell populations. Data demonstrating the speed and versatility of this combination of flow cytometry-based cell separation and protein separation and subsequent analysis, examples of protein maps from purified sorted cells, and an analysis of the overall procedure will be shown. It is clear that the power of cell sorting to separate heterogeneous populations of cells using specific phenotypic characteristics increases the power of rapid automated protein separation technologies.

Cytomics, the human cytome project and systems biology: top-down resolution of the molecular biocomplexity of organisms by single cell analysis.

A large amount of structural and functional information is obtained by molecular cell phenotype analysis of tissues, organs and organisms at the single cell level by image or flow cytometry in combination with bioinformatic knowledge extraction (cytomics) concerning nuclei acids, proteins and metabolites (cellular genomics, proteomics and metabolomics) as well as cell function parameters like i...

Clinical flow cytometry, a hypothesis-driven discipline of modern cytomics.

Recently, two major books have been published that summarize the historical aspects and recent achievements of practical flow cytometry (1,2). Both emphasize the role played by this newly developed technical discipline in the development of scientific (1) and diagnostic platforms during late 20th-century medicine (2). Indeed, the gray box called a flow cytometer is the result of a multidiscipli...

Molecular analysis of flies selected for aggressive behavior

Systems biology is a rapidly expanding novel research discipline aiming to describe interactions in complex biological systems. This is done by collection, integration and analysis of large quantities of data from multiple experimental sources employing powerful computational and informatics tools. The ‘omics’ techniques are typically used to collect quantitative data to construct and validate ...

Translational applications of flow cytometry in clinical practice.

Flow cytometry has evolved over the past 30 y from a niche laboratory technique to a routine tool used by clinical pathologists and immunologists for diagnosis and monitoring of patients with cancer and immune deficiencies. Identification of novel patterns of expressed Ags has led to the recognition of cancers with unique pathophysiologies and treatment strategies. FACS had permitted the isolat...

Automated interpretation of subcellular patterns in fluorescence microscope images for location proteomics.

Proteomics, the large scale identification and characterization of many or all proteins expressed in a given cell type, has become a major area of biological research. In addition to information on protein sequence, structure and expression levels, knowledge of a protein's subcellular location is essential to a complete understanding of its functions. Currently, subcellular location patterns ar...
