I know autof is used in retinal examinations. My question is whether the light used to excite the cells (laser) is safe for the retina. It would almost seem that those levels of hyperintense light might be phototoxic. Any thoughts? Thanks.

So you mean to say that when we use FMO + Isotype together, we may/may not see its off target binding. I have had a staining wherein FMO+ Isotype showed the same staining pattern compared to the sample with all the colours stained while the isotype alone gave no specific positive signal. So, is it wrong to do so in practice?

@SimonCU3 жыл бұрын
I can understand why u used FMO for CD25 (external marker) but I don't understand why you did not use Isotype for the intracellular staining because for intracellular staining some FoxP3 antibodies might bind unspecifically to internal proteins. Usually intracellular staining I use an ISO flourochrome and the surface staining I use FMO. If you use isotype for your intracellular staining and FMO for your surface staining your gating will look a lot better. You can try it. That is why your FoxP3 FMO plot is so low... You need an isotype so that your cells move more positive a bit.

How is the compensation matrix made? How does the P2 gate information contributes to it? I read that the P2 gate reveals the level of spillover of the fluorophore into other detectors, but we only measure the fluorescence of each fluorophore in one detector, eg FITC in FITC detector? I don't get what information the P2 gate brings..

Hi. I am from Chile and recently I started using cytometry in my experiments. I usually use two FITC and PE fluorophors. It has been difficult to compensate because I don't understand very well how it is done. You could record a step-by-step video of an experiment with two fluorophores to see the compensation. I would be very grateful.

Hi, Tim. Thanks for making this video! I just had a question related to cell flow: the pulse width of a cell can be approximated to its time of flight through the laser interrogation point. My question is this: Why is it that we get a larger pulse width for larger cells, and vice versa?

@@expertcytometry6235 Hi, Tim. Thanks a lot! I actually still have a bit of a doubt: wouldn't the passage of individual cells through the laser interrogation point and the concurrent pulse characteristics obtained be determined by the flow speed of the fluidics, and not just the width of the interrogating laser beam?
@aditihariharan18664 жыл бұрын
And thus, wouldn't larger cells pass through the laser interrogation point faster than smaller cells for the same flow speed of the fluidics, giving a shorter pulse width for larger cells?

@@aditihariharan1866 Imagine a setup where an observer is on one side of a street and a light is on the other side. As an auto blocks the light, the observer starts a stopwatch and stops it when he can see the light again. The time on the stopwatch is a measure of the time the auto spends passing by the light. Now, if we have traffic at a constant speed, and a Smart car passes by, the observer measures a time of 3 seconds. The next vehicle to pass by is an 18-wheeler, which the observer measures a time of 10 seconds. This makes sense since the 18-wheeler is much larger than the Smart car. The same is happening in the flow cytometer. We have an observer (PMT/PD), and a light. Rather than a stop watch, we are observing the time from the start of the pulse to the end of the pulse. The larger the cell, the longer that transition will take. Since the flow rate is constant, the difference that is being observed is size dependent. Does that help clear things up?
@aditihariharan18664 жыл бұрын
@@expertcytometry6235 It does, quite a bit! But what I'd like to know exactly is whether or not the speed of fluid flow within the flow cytometer can be taken to be the speed of the individual cells passing through the laser interrogation point? Because the above example that you've used to explain the variation in pulse width with cell size would hold only if all the cells had the same speed when passing through the laser interrogation point, no?

Good introduction! Would you say that bead compensation is sufficient? Or do you always include single stain cell controls as well? I've heard this can be helpful for autofluorescent cells (maybe like monocytes/macrophages), but would you do this for certain cell lines as well?
@expertcytometry62355 жыл бұрын
In general, bead based compensation is sufficient. As part of the panel development phase, it is important to determine/confirm that the bead signal will meet the 3 rules of compensation. This is also the time to determine that the signal of the antigen is higher than the AF of cells. You may want to read: expertcytometry.com/set-monitor-optimal-voltages-flow-cytometry-experiment/

Hi Tim, would you mind touching up on the comment of "reducing the sensitivity of the channel". I understand resolution (SI) quite well, but could you give a definition for sensitivity. I see a lot of flow explanations combine "resolution sensitivity" together. I know this is a bit off topic to autoflourescence but I am glad you mentioned it.
@expertcytometry62355 жыл бұрын
Anthony, sensitivity is defined as the ability to separate the negative signal from the positive signal. We talk about resolution sensitivity in the context of can a given detector resolve the negative and positive populations, especially in the context of a polychromatic panel.
