Basic Principles in Flow Cytometry Prepared by Hector Nolla Manager CRL Flow Cytometry Lab University of California, Berkeley Flow Cytometry »  Flow Cytometry is the technical process that allows for the individual measurements of cell fluorescence and light scattering. This process is performed at rates of thousands of cells per second. » This information can be used to individually sort or separate subpopulations of cells. History •  Flow cytometry developed from microscopy. Thus Leeuwenhoek is often cited in any discussion regarding it’s history. •  F.T. Gucker (1947)build the first apparatus for detecting bacteria in a LAMINAR SHEATH stream of air. •  L. Kamentsky (IBM Labs), and M. Fulwyler (Los Alamos Nat. Lab.) experimented with fluidic switching and electrostatic cell sorters respectively. Both described cell sorters in 1965. •  M. Fulwyler utilized Pulse Height Analyzers to accumulate distributions from a Coulter counter. This feature allowed him to apply statistical analysis to samples analyzed by flow. History •  In 1972 L. Herzenberg (Stanford Univ.), developed a cell sorter that separated cells stained with fluorescent antibodies.The Herzenberg group coined the term Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorter (FACS). Fluorescence Activation Process (or Immunofluorescence) Antibodies recognize specific molecules in the surface of Antibodies are artificially some cells conjugated to fluorochromes Fluorochromes FITC FITC Antibodies FITC When the cells are analyzed by flow cytometry the cells expressing the marker FITC
