چکیده

A study was undertaken to evaluate the ability of flow cytometric analysis of intracellular myeloperoxidase (MPO) in differentiating populations of lymphocytes (L), monocytes (M) and granulocytes (G), by means of lysed whole blood method. Anticoagulated blood from 23 normal individuals was lysed with FACS lysing solution and permeabilized with FACS permeabilizing solution before subjected to direct immunofluorescence staining. The geometric means of the fluorescence intensity were measured using FACSCalibur flow cytometer (Becton Dickinson). Populations of L, M and G were gated based on their light scatter characteristics and expression of CD14 and CD45. Then, the fluorescence intensity of MPO expression was studied in these individual cell populations. The results showed that fluorescence intensity of MPO was the strongest in G and weakest in L, whereas M showed intermediate fluorescence intensity. Our findings reveal that discrimination of these three cell types is achievable based upon the sole expression of intracellular MPO.

Deficient Expression of Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase in Monocytes from X-Linked Agammaglobulinemia as Evaluated by a Flow Cytometric Analysis and its Clinical Application to Carrier Detection

Background: The B-cell defect in X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) is caused by mutations in the gene for Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK). BTK mutations result in deficient expression of BTK protein in peripheral blood monocytes. Methods: Using the anti-BTK monoclonal antibody (48-2H), a flow cytometric analysis of intra cytoplasmic BTK protein expression in monocytes was performed to identify I...

Differential usefulness of various markers in the flow cytometric detection of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria in blood and bone marrow.

In this study, we examined the usefulness of various markers on blood cell populations in the diagnosis of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH). We also evaluated bone marrow specimens, which generally are considered less suitable than blood owing to variable expression of glycosyl phosphatidylinositol (GPI)-linked antigens during hematopoietic cell differentiation. All 15 patients in our ...

Flow cytometric analysis of inflammatory cells in ischemic rat brain.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Inflammation plays a key role in cerebral ischemia through activation of microglia and infiltration by leukocytes. Flow cytometry is a well-established method for quantitative and qualitative analysis of inflammatory cells. However, this technique has not been applied to the study of cerebral ischemia inflammation. The aim of this study was to establish a flow cytometric ...

Subpopulations of normal peripheral blood and bone marrow cells express a functional multidrug resistant phenotype.

The multidrug-resistance gene, MDR1 is expressed in many normal tissues, but little is known about its expression in normal hematopoietic cells. Using the monoclonal antibody C219 and flow cytometric analysis, P-glycoprotein (P-gp) was found to be expressed in all peripheral blood (PB) subpopulations (CD4, CD8, CD14, CD19, CD56) except granulocytes. To specifically determine MDR1 gene expressio...

A simple assay to measure phagocytosis of live bacteria.

BACKGROUND The phagocytosis of pathogens is essential for fighting infections. No assay is available, however, to measure both engulfment and degradation of bacteria under conditions similar to those in vivo. We sought to develop a flow cytometric assay to measure the engulfment and degradation of live bacteria by human blood monocytes and granulocytes. METHODS We generated enhanced green flu...
