The Interpretation of Flow Cytometry Profiles in Terms of Gene Dosage and Gene Expression

  • Chapter
Modern Trends in Biothermokinetics

Abstract

It frequently happens that three flow cytometry histograms with fluorescence intensities X, Y, and Z are related by shifting and stretching under the following circumstances:

  1. a)

    X is observed at one subsaturating concentration of lectin or antibody and Y is observed at another concentration with the same cell type;

  2. b)

    X is observed at saturating concentration of ligand with one cell preparation and Y is observed at saturating concentration of the same ligand, but with another cell preparation;

  3. c)

    X is observed at saturating concentration of ligand with one cell line, Y is observed at saturating concentration of ligand with the same cell line but with another ligand and Z is observed when both ligands are added together.
