Multiplexed Analysis of Beads and Cells With the ImageStream® Imaging Flow Cytometer
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The adoption of cytometric bead arrays (CBA) to simultaneously assess the concentrations of multiple cytokines in a single sample has been a significant technological advance in the field of cytokine biology. In this report we extend the use of CBA technology by using the ImageStream system to image cells in flow while at the same time measuring cytokine concentrations. Cytokine levels and cell classification can both be performed simultaneously using the ImageStream system.

متن کاملCutting-Edge Analysis of Extracellular Microparticles using ImageStreamX Imaging Flow Cytometry
Interest in extracellular vesicle biology has exploded in the past decade, since these microstructures seem endowed with multiple roles, from blood coagulation to inter-cellular communication in pathophysiology. In order for microparticle research to evolve as a preclinical and clinical tool, accurate quantification of microparticle levels is a fundamental requirement, but their size and the co...
متن کاملQuantitative analysis of protein co-localization on B cells opsonized with rituximab and complement using the ImageStream multispectral imaging flow cytometer.
Binding of the chimeric, humanized anti-CD20 mAb Rituximab (RTX) to B lymphocytes activates complement and promotes covalent deposition of C3 fragments (C3b/iC3b) on cells. Previous fluorescence microscopy studies, based on examination of B cell lines and of blood samples from RTX-treated CLL patients, suggest that C3b/iC3b is closely associated with cell-bound RTX. We examined Raji cells opson...
متن کاملDistinguishing modes of cell death using the ImageStream multispectral imaging flow cytometer.
BACKGROUND Here we demonstrate the ability of the ImageStream 100 Multispectral Imaging Cytometer to discriminate between live, necrotic, and early and late apoptotic cells, using unique combinations of photometric and morphometric features. METHODS Live, necrotic, and early and late apoptotic cells were prepared and analyzed by immunofluorescence microscopy, conventional flow cytometry, and ...
