Computational tools will be employed for the analysis of multiparametric flow cytometry data. Classical two-dimensional scatter plots analysis cannot be sufficient for the multidimensional nature of the flow cytometric data, especially when many parameters are simultaneously combined for studying the phenotype, effector function and the polyfunctionality of activated immune cells. Computational tools will be employed to analyze, visualize and interpret large amounts of cell data in an automated and unbiased way. Multiparametric flow cytometry can be particularly suitable for deep analysis of both T and B responses after vaccination, allowing to measure the frequency, the phenotype and the functional features of antigen-specific cells. The automated analysis allows to identify, in an unbiased way, all the cellular phenotypes elicited by vaccination, including not only terminally differentiated cells but also transient stages of differentiation, thus providing important information on activation ...
TY - JOUR. T1 - Flow cytometric detection and quantitative analysis of the GM-CSF receptor in human granulocytes and comparison with the radioligand binding assay. AU - Stacchini, Alessandra. AU - Fubini, Lidia. AU - Aglietta, Massimo. PY - 1996/8/1. Y1 - 1996/8/1. N2 - A flow cytometric method to quantify the granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor receptor (GM-CSFr) on human cells is described. The number of GM-CSFr binding sites on human neutrophils was assessed by using different bead standards. Results were compared with those from conventional receptor quantification, which was performed by using the radioligand binding assay. A high degree of correlation was found between the two methods, although quantitative evaluation of GM-CSFr expression on neutrophils performed by flow cytometry revealed a somewhat higher number of receptor molecules per cell than with that determined by Scatchard analysis. By the flow quantitative approach, we measured the GM-CSFr on mobilized ...

Traditional flow cytometry methods have been remarkably successful at detecting and sorting specific cells in a sample consisting of many cell types. However, a significant limitation of these methods is their inability to be applied in-vivo. Our research focuses on creating and perfecting novel flow cytometry methods which resolve this problem. Previous work includes the development of a two-photon in-vivo flow cytometry system. The use of multiphoton excitation creates an extremely narrow excitation region, making it possible to record signals from single cells as they propagate through the bloodstream. This eliminates the complicated fluid dynamics required for conventional flow cytometry, and also allows the user to focus on a single blood vessel in a living animal. Current and future work includes investigations of coherent control and the use of fiber optics for monitoring in the bloodstream itself.. ...
We report the development of a novel flow cytometry-based Ig capture assay (ICA) for the identification and sorting of individual Ab-secreting cells based on their Ag reactivity. The ICA represents a fast and versatile tool for single-cell sorting of peripheral plasmablasts, streamlining subsequent Ab analysis, and cloning. We demonstrate the utility of the assay by isolating Ag-reactive plasmablasts from cryopreserved PBMC obtained from volunteers vaccinated with a recombinant HIV envelope protein. To show the specificity of the ICA, we produced Ag-specific Abs from these cells and subsequently verified their Ag reactivity via ELISA. Furthermore, we used the ICA to track Ag-specific plasmablast responses in HIV-vaccine recipients over a period of 42 d and performed a head-to-head comparison with a conventional B cell ELISpot. Results were highly comparable, highlighting that this assay is a viable alternative for monitoring Ag-specific plasmablast responses at early time points after infection ...

Flow cytometry is conventionally used to measure cell-surface antigen expression. However, many antigens are found within the cytoplasm, and it is necessary to fix and permeabilize cells to enable antibodies to gain access to them. In this study we have established the conditions for studying intracellular antigens in human trophoblast cells by flow cytometry using an antibody to TAP1 (a key molecule in the process of Class I MHC assembly). We have previously shown by immunocytochemistry that TAP1 expression is apparently greater on Class 1 positive extravillous cytotrophoblast than on any other fetal or maternal tissue. However, as immunohistochemistry is not quantitative we have used three-colour flow cytometry to measure the expression of TAP1 in different trophoblast populations. Villous and extravillous cytotrophoblast were identified in first trimester and term placental and decidual digests on the basis of their expression of cytokeratin and Class I MHC antigens. The level of expression of TAP1

Hi Philipp, You can get devel versions of R at ftp://ftp.stat.math.ethz.ch/Software/R/. I believe the idea has always been that BioC devel (i.e., 2.6) works with R devel; iFlow is in BioC 2.6 so that should work. However, iFlow may not necessarily need the latest R. I havent tried the latest version but I have been playing with iFlow back in 2009 using R 2.9 or so. You can install iFlow from sources from the SVN repository (https://hedgehog.fhcrc.org/bioconductor/trunk/madman/Rpacks) user readonly, password readonly. To install it, run the R CMD INSTALL ,path to your iFlow,. The only pain with this approach is that you will have to manually resolve all the dependencies. Good luck.

Background: The neutral comet assay was devised to measure double-stranded DNA breaks, but it has also been used to measure apoptosis based on its characteristic DNA fragmentation patterns. There is still uncertainty about the reliability of this method. By comparing the comet assay with a flow cytometry method that uses Annexin V binding to apoptotic cells, we have provided further evidence for evaluating the usefulness of the comet assay for detecting apoptosis. Methods: Apoptosis was induced in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) by ionizing radiation and measured using the comet assay and a flow cytometry method that measures Annexin V and propidium iodide (PI) staining. Results: The Annexin V flow cytometry assay distinguished among early apoptosis, late apoptosis, and an apoptotic or necrotic phase in which the cells were labeled with both Annexin V and PI. The comet assay detected only the latter two phases of apoptosis. Conclusions: The comet assay is a useful tool for ...

In our study, we analyzed by flow cytometry 19 hEPCB and 17 hTCB samples. First, we observed that the percentage of CD34 PosCD45 Dim cells was higher in hEPCB compared with hTCB and that it decreased during 16th-20th week of pregnancy. Within the CD34 PosCD45 Dim population, we examined the expression of CD29, CD31, CD38, CD90, CD117, CD133, CD135, CD200, CD243, and CD338. We found that CD135 ...
Aims: To investigate the antibacterial efficacy of vancomycin towards Staphylococcus aureus under aerobic and anaerobic conditions, and to assess the influence of oxygen on the duration of the post-antibiotic effect (PAE) after exposure to vancomycin. Methods and Results: Culture-based techniques and flow cytometric measurements of 5-cyano-2,3-ditolyl tetrazolium chloride (an indicator of redox activity) and the membrane potential-sensitive fluorophore Sytox Green, were used to test four staphylococcal strains. The MICs for all strains, and the duration of PAE, were similar whether tested with or without oxygen. However, a fivefold logarithmic reduction in cell counts was observed in 10-15 h aerobically, depending on strain, compared with longer than 60 h in an anaerobic environment. Flow cytometric data correlated well with counts of colony-forming units under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Conclusions: The death rate of Staph. aureus exposed to vancomycin was greater in the presence of ...

Tomas Kalina, Standardization of cytometry and antibody validation. ​. There is an agreement in the field that interlaboratory reproducibility of flow cytometry measurements as well as whole studies might be improved by a consensual use of a methodological approach. Typically, a consensus is made on the crucial markers needed in the immunostaining panel, sometimes on the particular fluorochrome conjugates and rarely on a complete set of methods for sample preparation. The term standardization is used to describe the complete set of methodical steps, while harmonization is used for partial agreement on the method. Standardization can provide a platform for improved reproducibility of cytometry results over prolonged periods of time, across different sites and across different instruments. The different standardized approaches can and in fact should serve as benchmarking reference tools for the development of future flow cytometry studies. The cornerstone of each flow cytometry experiment ...

The aim of this study was to compare DNA content in hepatocyte and erythrocyte nuclei of the European sunbleak, Leucaspius delineatus, in relation to nuclear and cell size by means of flow cytometry and fluorescence microscopy. The DNA standards, chicken and rainbow trout erythrocytes, were prepared in parallel with both cell types, with initial separation of liver cells in pepsin solution followed by cell filtering. Standards and investigated cells were stained with a mixture of propidium iodide, citric acid, and Nonidet P40 in the presence of RNAse, and fluorescence of at least 50,000 nuclei was analyzed by flow cytometry. Average cell size was determined by flow cytometry, using fresh cell suspension in relation to latex beads of known diameter. The size of nuclei was examined on the basis of digital micrographs obtained by fluorescence microscopy after nuclei staining with DAPI. The sunbleaks erythrocyte nuclei contain 2.25 ± 0.06 pg of DNA, whereas the hepatocyte nuclei contain 2.46 ± ...
Circulating tumor cells are cells that detach from the primary tumor site and migrate to the bone marrow or other tissues where they can initiate a metastatic site. Liquid biopsies are an emerging tool in the past decades that enables us to detect Circulating Tumor Cells in patients blood. Flow cytometry is a powerful tool used in liquid biopsy diagnostics. This aims to prove the sensitivity and specificity of a flow cytometric panel for the detection of CTCs in breast cancer patients using healthy individuals samples as controls. The study was blinded to the data analyzing researcher. Statistical analysis followed and results show 86.9% area under the curve which indicates that the particular method can be very promising for diagnosing breast cancer.
Patients with uncharacteristic inflammatory symptoms such as long-standing fatigue or pain, or a prolonged fever, constitute a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. The aim of the present study was to determine if an extended immunophenotyping of lymphocytes and monocytes including activation markers can define disease-specific patterns, and thus provide valuable diagnostic information for these patients. Whole blood from patients with gram-negative bacteraemia, neuroborreliosis, tuberculosis, acute mononucleosis, influenza or a mixed connective tissue disorders, as diagnosed by routine culture and serology techniques was analysed for lymphocyte and monocyte cell surface markers using a no-wash, no-lyse protocol for multi-colour flow cytometry method. The immunophenotyping included the activation markers HLA-DR and CD40. Plasma levels of soluble TNF alpha receptors were analysed by ELISA. An informative pattern was obtained by combining two of the analysed parameters: (i), the fractions of HLA-DR

Investigation of signal transduction mechanisms is important for development of therapy and understanding complex life systems. In this study, to establish a novel recognition method of signal transduction pathways, we investigated signal transducers using flow cytometry. @The flow cytometric measurement shows a mean phosphorylation level (mean of fluorescence intensity, MFI) and a deviation of the phosphorylation level (coefficient variation, CV) in a cluster of cells. As a model of signal pathways, Jurkat cells (T cell leukemia cell line) were stimulated with interleukin-21 or interferon- , and signal transducers and activators of transcription (STATs) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 1/2 were measured using flow cytometry. Furthermore, peripheral blood was stimulated, and then various signal transducers of the lymphocytes and neutrophils were analyzed with MFI and CV. @After the stimulation, the increase of STATs MFI induced a temporal change of CV. On the other hand, the ...
Flow cytometry is designed to measure physical and biochemical characteristics of cells and cell-like particles using fluorescence. Fundamentally, any single-particle suspension (within a defined size range) can pass through the flow cytometer. Beads, for better or worse, are a sine qua non for the flow cytometrist. From quality control,to standardization, to compensation, there is a bead for every job. They are important - critical, even - for flow cytometry.
Sysmex analysers use the fluorescence flow cytometry method in the reticulocyte channel to measure fragmented red blood cells (FRC% and FRC#) as research parameters..

The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway plays an important role in multiple myeloma (MM), a blood cancer associated with uncontrolled proliferation of bone marrow plasma cells. This study aimed to develop a robust clinical pharmacodynamic (PD) assay to measure the on-target PD effects of the selective PI3K inhibitor GDC-0941 in MM patients. We conducted an in vitro drug wash-out study to evaluate the feasibility of biochemical approaches in measuring the phosphorylation of S6 ribosomal protein (S6), one of the commonly used PD markers for PI3K pathway inhibition. We then developed a 7-color phospho-specific flow cytometry assay, or phospho flow assay, to measure the phosphorylation state of intracellular S6 in bone marrow aspirate (BMA) and peripheral blood (PB). Integrated mean fluorescence intensity (iMFI) was used to calculate fold changes of phosphorylation. Assay sensitivity was evaluated by comparing phospho flow with Meso Scale Discovery (MSD) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) assays.
Human induced pluripotent cells (iPSCs) were obtained from the HipSci project (http://www.hipsci.org) and differentiated into macrophages using an established protocol (van Wilgenburg, 2013). The genotype_id column of the flow_sample_metadata.txt file contains the canonical HipSci iPSC line name from which the macrophages were differentiated. Data acquisition We used flow cytometry to measure the cell surface expression of three canonical macrophage markers: CD14, CD16 (FCGR3A/FCGR3B) and CD206 (MRC1). Macrophages were cultured in 10 cm tissue-culture treated plates and detached from the plates by incubation in 6 mg/ml lidocaine-PBS solution (Sigma L5647) for 30 minutes followed by gentle scraping. From each cell line we harvested between 300,000-500,000 cells. Detached cells were washed in media, centrifuged at 1200 rpm for 5 minutes and resuspended in flow cytometry buffer (2% BSA, 0.001% EDTA in D-PBS) and split into two wells of a 96-well plate.

FMO controls are samples that contain all the antibodies you are testing in your experimental samples, minus one of them. When analyzing the minus, or left out parameter in an FMO control, you give yourself a strong negative control to work with. Its a strong negative control because the left out marker in the FMO control allows you to take into account how the other stains in your panel affect the respective minus parameter. Many flow cytometry gates are difficult to define. This is especially true when youre looking at activation markers within a continuum or accounting for the large data spread that occurs when compensating a 10+ color experiment. The only way to convince reviewers that your gate is in the proper place is by using FMO controls. Heres why you need to use FMO controls for any multicolor flow cytometry experiment and how to prepare these controls properly.. Read More ...

Purpose: Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is currently incurable with standard chemotherapeutic agents, highlighting the need for novel therapies. Overcoming proliferative and cytoprotective signals generated within the microenvironment of lymphoid organs is essential for limiting CLL progression and ultimately developing a cure.. Experimental Design: We assessed the potency of cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor CR8, a roscovitine analog, to induce apoptosis in primary CLL from distinct prognostic subsets using flow cytometry-based assays. CLL cells were cultured in in vitro prosurvival and proproliferative conditions to mimic microenvironmental signals in the lymphoid organs, to elucidate the mechanism of action of CR8 in quiescent and proliferating CLL cells using flow cytometry, Western blotting, and quantitative real-time PCR.. Results: CR8 was 100-fold more potent at inducing apoptosis in primary CLL cells than roscovitine, both in isolated culture and stromal-coculture conditions. ...

Background: Invariant natural killer cells (iNKT) are an important immunoregulatory T cell subset. Currently several flow cytometry-based approaches exist for the identifi-cation of iNKT cells, which rely on using the 6B11 monoclonal antibody or a combina-tion of anti-Vα24 and anti-Vβ11 antibodies. Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the ability of two flow cytometry-based methods for detecting the frequency of circulating iNKT cells. Methods: The frequency of iNKT cells was detected in the pe-ripheral blood of 37 healthy adult donors by flow cytometry using the 6B11 antibody or a combination of anti-Vα24 and anti-Vβ11 antibodies. Results: The frequency of iNKT cells detected by 6B11 antibody or by combination of anti-Vα24 and anti-Vβ11 anti-bodies was significantly different (0.54% vs. 0.31%, respectively, p|0.001) but the val-ues were highly correlated (Spearman r = 0.742, p|0.0001). Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that different combinations of mAbs detect different
Plasmodium vivax preferentially infects Duffy-positive reticulocytes and infections typically have few parasite-infected cells in the peripheral circulation. These features complicate detection and quantification by flow cytometry (FC) using standard nucleic acid-based staining methods. A simple antibody-based FC method was developed for rapid parasite detection along with simultaneous detection of other parasite and erythrocyte markers. Clinical samples were collected from patients diagnosed with P. vivax at a district Malaria Clinic in Kanchanaburi, Thailand. One μL of infected blood was washed, fixed, stained with a Plasmodium pan-specific anti-PfBiP antibody conjugated with Alexa Fluor 660, and analysed by FC. Additional primary conjugated antibodies for stage-specific markers of P. vivax for late trophozoite-early schizonts (MSP1-Alexa Fluor 660), late-stage schizonts (DBP-Alexa Fluor 555), and sexual stages (Pvs16) were used to differentiate intra-erythrocytic developmental stages.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematological plasma cell malignancy in the bone marrow. Lately, increased knowledge of MM pathogenesis and advances in therapy have improved the survival of MM patients. However, due to the unique and complex genome of each patient, some patients are resistant to standard therapies while others achieve durable response but eventually experience relapse. Therefore, new strategies especially for relapsed and refractory and high-risk multiple myeloma (RRMM, HRMM) patients, who have poor response to current therapies, are required. Melflufen, a novel prodrug of the alkylating agent melphalan, has shown significantly decreased resistance effects and more selective cytotoxicity compared to melphalan in vitro and in vivo, but the molecular markers identifying the sensitive subgroups of MM patients have not yet been discovered. The aim of this study was to identify a melflufen-sensitive subgroup of MM patients by utilizing a high throughput flow cytometry-based drug ...
Flow cytometry immunophenotyping is invaluable for the diagnostic and prognostic work-up of haematological malignancies. Over the last decade, multi-colour flow cytometry analysis has been used increasingly to investigate leptomeningeal disease; several studies show the utility and sensitivity of this technique for both B cell Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma and Acute Leukaemia diagnostics. Cells within CSF samples are typically low in number and degrade quickly. Therefore, the recommendation is to use cell stabilisation reagents for CSF samples that require flow cytometry analysis. Previous studies have shown that TransFix stabilised CSF samples have a cell yield equal to or better than that of fresh CSF samples and so may be used for immunophenotypic analysis after 18 hours of storage. Some cell characteristics may change after TransFix treatment: for example, light scatter properties of peripheral blood and CSF leukocytes may be altered and the fluorochrome signal intensity of certain bound antisera ...

The ring-stage survival assay (RSA) is a powerful tool for phenotyping artemisinin-resistant Plasmodium falciparum but requires experienced microscopists to count viable parasites among 10,000 erythrocytes in Giemsa-stained thin blood smears. Here we describe a rapid flow cytometric assay that accurately counts viable parasites among 250,000 erythrocytes in suspension. This method performs as well as light microscopy and can be used to standardize the collection of RSA data between research groups in laboratory and field settings.
Methods have been developed for isolating human tissue macrophages from first trimester or term pregnancy decidua. After a two stage enzymic digestion, viable cells were separated from cellular debris by velocity sedimentation at unit gravity or by Percoll centrifugation. Cell populations were analysed by flow cytometry after labelling with monoclonal antibodies. In term decidua, 47% of the cells were of bone marrow origin, comprising 18% macrophages, 3% large granular lymphocytes and 8% T cells. The remaining cells, the proportion of which varied between individuals, were CD16-positive granulocytes. Macrophages were isolated flow cytometrically from both first trimester and term decidual cell dispersions after labelling with an antibody to MHC class II. Yields of up to 4 X 10(6) macrophages, greater than 95% pure, were routinely obtained.

This vignette will guide you through analysis of an example flow cytometry data set from an experiment examining time-lapse florescence reporter levels from a synthetic biological circuit in liquid cultures of budding yeast. In this example circuit, fluorescent reporter expression is mediated by a transcription factor/transcriptional repressor complex. The transcriptional repressor is degraded via the ubiquitin proteasome system, in response to a small molecule. Fluorescence levels are measured approximately every 10 minutes by flow cytometry. Here we demonstrate how to import the resulting .fcs files into R, gate and annotate this data with experimental metadata (e.g. the ...
Phenotype and functional heterogeneity of airway smooth muscle (ASM) cells in vitro is well known, but there is limited understanding of these features in vivo. We tested whether ASM is composed of myocyte subsets differing in contractile phenotype marker expression. We used flow cytometry to compare smooth muscle myosin heavy chain (smMHC) and smooth muscle-alpha-actin (sm-alpha-actin) abundance in myocytes dispersed from canine trachealis. Based on immunofluorescent intensity and light scatter characteristics (forward and 90 degrees side scatter), 2 subgroups were identified and isolated. Immunoblotting confirmed smMHC and sm-alpha-actin were 10- and 5-fold greater, respectively, in large, elongate myocytes that comprised -60% of total cells. Immunohistochemistry revealed similar phenotype heterogeneity in human bronchial smooth muscle. Canine tracheal myocyte subpopulations isolated by flow cytometry were used to seed primary subcultures. Proliferation of subcultures established with myocytes ...

The data from the analysis will be reviewed in conjunction with patients demographic and ...
Transplantation improves the health and quality of life for patients suffering from renal failure, but for many, antibodies specific for HLA antigens create a substantial barrier. Our center has developed a desensitization protocol to remove HLA-specific antibodies and successfully transplant these sensitized patients. This protocol involves alternate day plasmapheresis, intravenous immunoglobulin (IvIg), and immunosuppressants. We use a Luminex assay to detect HLA-specific antibody and developed a flow cytometric technique using HLA tetramer molecules to quantitate HLA-specific B cells. Following desensitization and transplantation, we observe a sustained loss of donor-specific HLA antibodies, while antibodies specific for 3rd party HLA return to pre-treatment levels. Interestingly, B cells specific for donor-specific HLA persist. We hypothesize that transplantation in the absence of inflammation, due to continued desensitization treatment, allows for the induction of B cell anergy toward ...
We examined the effect of clioquinol on the process of cell death induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) using a flow cytometric technique with propidium iodide and annexin V-FITC in order to see if clioquinol augments the toxicity caused by oxidative stress. Clioquinol (100 nM) alone did not change the process of spontaneous cell death. However, the agent accelerated the process of cell death induced by 300 μM H2O2. Result indicates that clioquinol augments the cytotoxicity induced by H2O2. Therefore, the use of clioquinol may be inadequate for the treatment of some diseases related to oxidative stress ...

Our understanding of heme sensing and the regulation of heme-iron acquisition by fungal pathogens is incomplete. Heme contains ∼80% of the iron in vertebrate hosts, and we previously demonstrated that heme is an important iron source for C. neoformans (35, 74). In the present study, we constructed a strain encoding a cytosolic heme sensor to address our goals of (i) understanding heme-iron acquisition during fungal proliferation and pathogenesis and (ii) identifying potential heme/iron-related targets for antifungal therapy. Initially, we validated the behavior of the heme sensor by demonstrating responsiveness to exogenous hemin by established microscopic, fluorimetric, and flow cytometry methods (41). Importantly, we demonstrated that the sensor detected the reduction in cytosolic heme levels expected to result from impaired endocytosis. Specifically, reduced cytosolic heme levels were found in cells treated with CPZ and in mutants such as the cig1 and las17 mutants that have lower heme ...

Flow cytometry (FCM) bioinformatics is a sub-field of bioinformatics, aimed at developing effective and efficient computational tools to store, organize, and analyze high-throughput/dimensional FCM data. Flow cytometers are capable of analyzing thousands of cells per second for up to 40 features. These features primarily signal the presence of different proteins on cells in the bloodstream. Hence contributing large amounts of data towards the big biological data paradigm. The data that a flow cytometer outputs from a biological sample, is called a FCS file.The International Mouse Phenotyping Consortium (IMPC) is a collaboration between 23 international institutions and funding organizations. Its aim is to decipher the function of 20,000 mouse genes. IMPC is doing so by breeding mice with a certain gene knocked out (KO), cancelling the function of that gene. In turn, FCM is used to measure the immunological changes correlated to this knockout. Many tools exist to classify FCS files. However, ...

Chinese hamster ovary cells were seeded in the absence or presence of the polyamine synthesis inhibitor 2-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO). At 1-4 days after seeding, the cells were labelled for 15-120 min with the thymidine analogue bromodeoxyuridine (BrdUrd) and they were then fixed directly after the labelling period. In addition, cells were labelled for 30 min and they were then allowed to progress in BrdUrd-free medium during a defined post-labelling time before fixation. An indirect immunofluorescence technique, using the monoclonal BrdUrd antibody and the intercalating stochiometric DNA stain, propidium iodide, was applied to enable quantification of cellular BrdUrd and DNA contents, respectively, by flow cytometry (FCM). By comparing the mean DNA content of BrdUrd-labelled cells to the mean DNA contents of G(1) and G(2) cells, a relative measure of the position of the BrdUrd-labelled cells was obtained (relative movement). Relative movement data, obtained from control and DFMO-treated ...

Introduction: We have reported previously that α-myosin heavy chain (α-MyHC) expressing myocytes (MCs), the predominant MC in adult mouse hearts, hypertrophy under pressure-overload without a proportionate increase in total MyHC protein (T-MyHC) content (Lopez et al, Circ. Res., 2011). It is not yet known if during normal physiological growth, these MCs increase their T-MyHC content in proportion to cell size.. Hypothesis: During normal post-natal growth, an increase in T-MyHC content is proportionate to changes in cardiac mass and MC size.. Methods: Individual cardiac cells were isolated by enzymatic digestion from male C57Bl/6 mice age in days 22+/-1 (young, n=4) and 88+/-6 (adult, n=4). Body and heart weights (wt), mean MC volumes by Coulter Multisizer (vol), and cell protein content-per-MC by BCA assay (TotProtMC) were used to measure cardiac growth. A new approach using large-particle fluorescent activated cell sorting (FACS, see Figure) was validated to isolate 15K Troponin-T expressing ...
The effect of single-drug cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (CDDP) treatment on the distribution of T-lymphocyte subsets and monocytes was determined using monoclonal antibodies and a flow cytometry technique. Thirty-nine patients with radically operated ovarian carcinoma received postoperative treatment with six cycles of CDDP 50 mg/m2, and were examined either before, during, or after chemotherapy. During treatment, the number of OKT4+ (mainly T-helper) cells was reduced, whereas the number of OKT8+ (mainly T-suppressor/cytotoxic) cells was increased. Four to six months after the CDDP treatment was ended, these aberrations were no longer seen. The number of 1D5+ cells (monocytes) was not influenced by the treatment. It is concluded that no long-lasting change in the distribution of immunocompetent cells could be detected after this regimen of CDDP treatment.
The Aurora family of serine-threonine kinases are essential regulators of cell division in mammalian cells. Aurora-A and -B expression and kinase activity is elevated in a variety of human cancers and is associated with high proliferation rates and poor prognosis. AMG 900 is a highly potent and selective pan-aurora kinase inhibitor that has entered clinical evaluation in adult patients with advanced cancers. In mice, oral administration of AMG 900 blocks the phosphorylation of histone H3 on serine-10 (p-Histone H3), a proximal substrate of aurora-B and inhibits the growth of multiple human tumor xenografts, including multidrug-resistant models. In order to establish a preclinical pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) relationship for AMG 900 that could be translated to the clinic, we used flow cytometry and laser scanning cytometry detection platforms to assess the effects on p-Histone H3 inhibition in terms of sensitivity, precision, and specificity, in human tumor xenografts in conjunction with

Summer Research Description: Dynein is an essential cytoskeletal motor protein, facilitating the transport of various materials within the cell by binding to and trafficking along microtubules. In non-dividing cells, dynein transports cargo from the cell periphery towards the nucleus and microtubule-organizing center, in a microtubule minus-end directed manner. Previous data indicates that dynein plays a role in HIV intracytoplasmic transport. In these studies, I used flow cytometry and X-gal analysis to assess the effects of Ciliobrevin, an inhibitor of dynein ATPase activity, on HIV infectivity. Using flow cytometry, I found that increasing the concentration of Ciliobrevin, gives an overall decrease in infectivity, however not to the extent shown by previous studies, likely due to differences in the approaches used to quantify the extent of infection. This increased inhibition of dynein leads to lowered infectivity because fewer HIV particles are being trafficked to the nucleus. I am also ...

The hallmark of an immune response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis is granuloma formation. CD4+Th1 cells are of central importance in anti-mycobacterial immunity by way of producing effector IFN-γ and TNF-α cytokines that help to contain infection in the granulomas by activating macrophages. The environment of the granuloma is hypoxic and we have little knowledge on CD4+ T cell processes and function in this environment. Autophagy is a de novo intracellular protein and organelle degradation pathway induced in eukaryotic cells by stress-factors such as starvation or hypoxia. It has been described that autophagy is induced in T cells upon activation and autophagic processes might contribute to nutrient supply and the regulation of cytokine production in T cells. The aim of this study was to investigate autophagic processes in CD4+ T cells after activation and the regulation of IFN-γ production under normoxia, and hypoxia as found in the granuloma of TB patients. The main assays, immunoblotting ...
Purpose:. Circulating tumor cell (CTC) enumeration or Androgen Receptor (AR) splice variant 7 expression from Epithelial Cell Adhesion Molecule (EpCAM) positive CTCs are predictive biomarkers for patients with prostate cancer. Recent reports suggest subpopulations of CTCs with decreased EpCAM expression may have greater invasive capacity or drug-resistant potential. These include cells with mesenchymal phenotypes that express N-cadherin, or MUC1, or stem cell populations that express CD133. Integrated molecular analysis across different CTC subpopulations has not been performed. We sought to compare the molecular profile of different populations of CTCs from the blood of patients with prostate cancer.. Methods:. A multiparametric flow cytometry assay was used to identify different populations of CTCs from patients with prostate cancer. We then employed an integrated CTC capture and analysis technology known as the VERSA (Versatile Exclusion-based Rare Sample Analysis) platform to in parallel or ...
