The buffers in this supplemental kit have been specially formulated for optimal performance when used in conjunc-tion with PeproTech’s ELISA Development Kits. The buffer kit contains all of the necessary components to assay ten 96-well ELISA plates (included) and contains detailed handling instruc-tions. All of the reagents have been sterile filtered to minimize assay interference and maximize shelf life. The ELISA Buffer Kit can be purchased along with PeproTech’s ELISA Development Kit at a discounted price.

This easy-to-use ELISA buffer kit can also be purchased as a stand-alone product since the plates included are not pre-coat-ed with capture antibody. The flexibility of this format allows the researcher to develop and optimize an assay for use with their own capture and detection antibodies. When using the ELISA

Buffer Kit in this capacity the actual antibody concentrations and detection ranges of the ELISA will vary according to the specific components used.

Kit Contents: - 20X Plate Coating Buffer

- 1X Blocking Buffer

- 20X Wash Buffer

- Ready-to-use ABTS

- 10 Sterile, Uncoated 96 well ELISA Plates

Antigen Affinity Purification of Antibodies

(A.) Preparation of separation resin. (B.) Specific binding of Antibody to the resin. (C.) pH elution of the antibody from the affinity column.

Figure I-1 - Antigen Affinity Purification of AntibodiesCytokines are signaling proteins necessary for cell-to-cell communication throughout the body. In accordance with their role in preserving vital biological functions, the amino acid sequence of homologous cytokines from different mammalian species is general-ly highly conserved, rendering them poor immunogens for antibody production. Consequently, the sera obtained from host animals after immunization with cytokines (Figure I-4) typically contain minute amounts of cytokine-specific antibodies. Isolation of these antibod-ies by standard purification procedures (e.g. ion-exchange chroma-tography) is tedious and ineffective.

On the other hand, purification protocols which exploit the bind-ing affinity of antibodies to certain bio-molecules have yielded much better results. For example, Protein A (Staphylococcus-derived) and Protein G (Streptococcus-derived) are bacterial proteins that possess high binding affinity toward the Fc (Fragment crystallizable) region of immunoglobulins (IgGs), and when attached to a solid-support matrix, enable efficient separation of IgGs from other serum constit-uents. Protein A/G affinity purification of serum-IgGs typically en-riches the desired antibody by more than 100-fold. Yet, in the case of anti-cytokine antibodies, the total IgG fraction often contains less than 0.2% of the desired antibody. The large quantity of unrelated IgGs found in these preparations not only interferes with quantification of the relative amount of the cytokine-specific antibody, but also con-siderably increases the background noise when the antibody is used in analytical procedures such as ELISA, neutralization, immunohis-tochemistry, and Western blotting. A superior method for isolating specific polyclonal antibodies from antiserum is by antigen affinity chromatography, which exploits the specificity of antibody-antigen interactions (Figure I-1). Here, the separation medium consists of a

solid-support resin to which the antigen is attached through stable covalent bonds. The immobilized antigen is then used in a column chromatography setup to selectively capture antigen-specific antibod-ies, while other serum proteins and unrelated immunoglobulins are washed away (Figure I-2). The antigen-bound antibodies can be

eluted from the column by an acidic solution (Figure I-3), which is promptly brought back to physiological pH to prevent acid-catalyzed antibody denaturation. This method typically yields >95% pure spe-cific antibodies (Figure 1-5).

Appendix II

ELISAEnzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is a laboratory

technique for quantifying the concentration of specific antigens or antibodies in cell lysates, sera, or other complex solutions. In its simplest format, called direct ELISA, a solid-phase binding support such as a polystyrene plate is used to capture the tested antigen, which is then detected with the aid of a specific enzyme-linked an-tibody (E-Ab). The detection protocol involves conversion of a col-orless substrate solution into an intense, colored product that can be measured directly in the reaction plate. The increase in optical density during the reaction is recorded at different time points for several sample dilutions, and the collected data is then used in con-junction with a standard curve to calculate the concentration of the antigen in the original sample (Figure II-1). Although the sensitivity and specificity of ELISA are comparable to those of radioimmuno-assay (RIA), ELISA has the advantage of not requiring radioactive isotopes and expensive counting devices. In recent years, ELISA has gained popularity in both research and clinical laboratories, and has become an important diagnostic test for many infectious dis-eases, including the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

A number of different enzymes are suitable for the preparation of E-Abs, including alkaline phosphatase, horseradish peroxidase, and carbonic anhydrase. Although E-Abs can be obtained by co-

valently binding enzymes to antibodies through a coupling agent such as glutaraldehyde, this method is not commonly used, because it often yields products with impaired immunological and/or enzy-matic activity. A superior method to prepare fully active E-Abs is by exploiting the high binding affinity of avidin for biotin, as depicted in Figure II-2. The biotinylated antibody used in this method con-tains on average 6-8 biotin moieties, which due to their small size do not interfere with the interaction between the antibody and the captured antigen. Once unbound antibody has been rinsed from the plate, the biotin moieties are used in-situ to form stable complexes with avidin-enzyme conjugates. A major limitation of the direct ELISA format is that certain antigens (e.g. low molecular weight cytokines) bind poorly to polystyrene plates, and therefore, cannot be measured accurately by the assay. To bypass this limitation, the plate can be pre-coated with a specific antibody that recognizes the tested antigen through epitopes that are not used by the E-Ab. Us-ing a matched pair of antigen-specific antibodies, one for capturing and one for detection, significantly improves both the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. This format, called Sandwich ELISA, enables detection of picogram quantities of antigens and is the pre-ferred method for measuring cytokines and hormones in biological samples (Figure II-3).

Figure III-1 - Schematic presentation of Western Transfer Protocol

Western Transfer, also known as Western Blotting, is a rapid immunoblotting technique for identifying the presence of a particu-lar protein in a complex mixture of proteins such as cell lysates or sera. The technique exploits both the efficiency of SDS-PAGE to separate a mixture of proteins into distinct protein bands, and the ability of immunochemical reagents to interact specifically with a given protein.

A typical Western transfer protocol (e.g. for the detection of protein X) includes the following steps: (1) The proteins in the test-ed solution are separated into distinct bands by SDS-PAGE, (2) The

size-separated proteins are transferred from the polyacrylamide gel to a nitrocellulose membrane (or another suitable matrix). (3) The membrane containing the protein bands is serially incubated with: (a) a suitable blocking reagent to prevent non-specific protein bind-ing, (b) a wash solution to rinse any unbound blocking reagent, (c) a probing antibody (anti-protein-X antibody) that forms a specific immune complex with Protein-X, (d) additional wash solution to remove any unbound antibody, (e) an enzyme-linked antibody that binds specifically to the Fc region of the anti-Protein-X antibody, (f) additional wash solution to remove any unbound enzyme-linked antibody, and finally, (g) a substrate solution, which in the presence of the enzyme, yields an insoluble, colored product that precipitates at the site of the immune complex, thereby rendering the Protein X band visible (Figure III-1).

Transfer Protocol1. Load the protein sample onto a 4-20% Tris-Glycine polyacryl-

amide gel and run until desired resolution is achieved. (The electrophoresis can be followed by using pre-stained molecular weight markers).

2. Set up the Submerged Western Transfer Cassette as described below and in Figure III-2:

a. Submerge the open Transfer Cassette cathode plate onto the tray pre-filled with Western Transfer Buffer.

b. Place a sponge support pad onto the cassette and remove the air bubbles by gently rolling a Pasteur pipette over the pad.

c. Place a piece of blotting paper onto the sponge support pad.d. Remove the gel from the electrophoresis plates, cut approxi-

mately 3mm off the bottom of the gel so that the membrane can be laid flat against the gel, and place the gel over the blotting paper. Expel air bubbles as before.

e. Carefully place the pre-soaked nitrocellulose membrane onto the gel and expel air bubbles. Ensure that the mem-brane remains directly over the gel before proceeding.

f. Place a second piece of blotting paper onto the nitrocellu-lose membrane and remove air bubbles.

g. Place a sponge support pad onto the second piece of blotting paper and remove air bubbles.

h. Gently close the cassette by placing the anode plate over the exposed pad.

3. Carefully place the assembled cassette into the transfer tank containing Western Transfer Buffer up to the “pre-fill” level and adjust the buffer level, as needed, after the addition of the cas-sette.

4. Connect the assembled apparatus to an electrophoresis power supply and run for approximately 1.5 hours at a constant current of 400mA.

Development (Immunostaining) Protocol1. After the transfer is complete, incubate the membrane in block-

ing solution for 30 minutes with gentle agitation on an orbital shaker. Note: Various types of blocking solution may be used depending on numerous assay variables; e.g. 3% Nonfat Dry Milk in diH2O or a fish-derived blocking buffer diluted in diH2O.

2. Wash the membrane three times with TBST (TBS, pH 7.2 with 0.1% TWEEN-20) in a clean tray on an orbital shaker; each wash lasting 5-10 minutes with fresh buffer.

3. Dilute the probing (primary) antibody in TBST to a volume of 50ml (approximate final concentration of 0.20µg/ml) and incu-bate the membrane in the antibody solution for one to four hours at room temperature. (The optimum incubation time depends on the antibody/antigen binding affinity and must be pre-determined for each antibody.)

4. Wash the membrane three times as in step #2.5. Dilute the enzyme conjugated secondary antibody in TBST

according to the manufacturer’s specification. Incubate the membrane in a clean tray containing 50ml of diluted secondary antibody for one hour at room temperature on an orbital shaker.

6. Wash the membrane three times as in step #2.7. Color development requires the use of a commercially available

(e.g. Bio-Rad or Sigma) alkaline phosphatase conjugate substrate kit. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

8. After the bands become clearly visible, stop the color develop-ment by placing the membrane in a tray containing diH2O for at least ten minutes.

periods?

Yes, it is essential that the membrane be agitated during the incubation periods. If the membrane is not agitated the antibodies, blocking buffer, and washing buffer may not af-fectthemembraneevenlyandcancreatesplotchy,orpatchy,background. It can also limit the detection of the proteins by the antibodies.

6. Why are some Western Transfer results stronger than others when using different lots of the same antibody?

Immunohistochemistry

The analysis of tissues and cells for the presence of specific proteins is an important component of numerous clinical diagnos-tic and research programs. Immunohistochemistry (histo=tissue) and immunocytochemistry (cyto=cell) are powerful techniques that utilize the specific interaction between a target protein and its cor-responding antibody to visualize a protein of interest in a complex biological sample. The terms immunohistochemistry (IHC) and im-munocytochemistry are often used interchangeably due to the inti-mate relationship between cells and tissues.

Two common detection methods used in IHC are immuno-fluorescence (IF) and immunoenzymatic staining. In IF, the direct or indirect detecting antibody is labeled with a fluorophore, such as fluorescein or rhodamine. In immunoenzymatic staining, the direct or indirect detecting antibody is conjugated to a chromogen activat-ing enzyme such as horseradish-peroxidase (HRP) or alkaline phos-phatase (AP). Thus, there are both direct and indirect IHC protocols, where the researcher selects the best method of detection for the tis-sue source and antigen of interest. This flexibility creates a variety of IHC protocols, including an indirect polymer labeling method for non-biotin based systems which enhances the signal. Please note that an indirect immunoenzymatic detection method is illustrated on the next page (Figure IV-1).

Working with cells and tissue can pose difficult problems due to the elaborate and complex nature of these structures. In order to accurately examine these complex samples it is vital to preserve, to the extent possible, the native state of the tissue being analyzed. This is accomplished through a technique known as fixation. The fixation process is a cornerstone in immunohistochemistry and helps

maintain the integrity and authenticity of the proteins and structures present in the samples. This is usually achieved by inhibiting the innate degradative processes present in the sample tissue by some combination of cryostasis, treatment with chemical fixatives, and embedding tissue samples in paraffin. One of the most commonly used fixative combinations is the formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) fixation method. To achieve maximum recognition of the tar-get protein, it is necessary to optimize the fixation process for each sample type analyzed. Factors which influence the optimization of the fixation process include the purity, affinity and specificity of the detecting antibody, the structure and stability of the target protein, and the structural and biochemical characteristics of the tissue sam-ple.

The fixation process, while critical for maintaining the integ-rity of the tissue, often masks the antibody recognition epitope on the target protein by inducing chemical modification, conformational alterations, or protein aggregation. Therefore, most IHC procedures contain an unmasking step which is frequently called antigen retriev-al, or epitope recovery. This unmasking process can be accomplished by several procedures, including HIER (Heat-Induced Epitope Re-trieval) and PIER (Protease-Induced Epitope Retrieval), which, de-pending on the sample and the target protein, can be used alone or in tandem.

The detection strategies commonly applied in IHC procedures can be classified into two general categories, designated as direct and indirect detection methods. The direct detection methods utilize a labeled antibody, capable of fluorescing or activating a chemical chromogen, which binds directly to the target protein. This method

has the advantages of simplicity, low non-specific binding in most cases, and short assay run times. Indirect methods use an unlabeled primary antibody to initially bind the target protein, which is then recognized by a labeled secondary antibody. Some indirect IHC de-tection procedures use a three stage procedure, in which an unlabeled secondary antibody is used and subsequently recognized by a labeled tertiary antibody. Most indirect methods produce some degree of sig-nal amplification during the multiple stages of the detection proce-dure, which consequently results in increased assay sensitivity.

Figure IV-1 is a sample IHC detection protocol representing the use of an indirect immunoenzymatic method.

Note: Researchers modify protocols in order to prevent nonspecific staining such as the blocking of endogenous proteins or enzymatic molecules.

MicroarrayMicroarray technology enables the simultaneous detection

and quantification of a large number of proteins or nucleic acids in a variety of biological samples, including cells, tissues, and bodily fluids. The term microarray refers to a miniaturized solid support or chip, such as a nylon membrane or glass microscope slide, which is spotted with a capture element (antibody, protein, oligonucleotide, cDNA, etc.) in a grid-like configuration. There are many applications of microarrays including assessing protein families, probing serum for diagnostic information, profiling expression in response to drugs, and profiling cells treated with certain stimulators or transfected with a given gene. Although there are many procedural variations, the five essential steps in the preparation of a microarray are: 1) capture element synthesis, 2) preparation of the solid support surface, 3) im-mobilization of the capture elements onto the solid support (using a robotic arrayer), 4) binding of the target molecule to the immobilized capture elements, and 5) detection and quantification of the target/capture element complex.

Antibody microarrays use antibodies, raised against known protein antigens, as the capture elements and proteins capable of spe-cifically binding to the immobilized antibodies as the detected target molecules. Fluorescent dyes such as Cy3, Cy5, FITC, and Texas Red, or enzyme systems such as biotin-horseradish peroxidase, are a sensitive means of detection and visualization. Antibody microar-rays exploit many of the same principles applied to well established immunoassay procedures such as ELISA or Western blot; however, microarrays offer many advantages including an increased number of data points (which has a direct effect on accuracy), the ability to detect many proteins simultaneously, and reduced antibody and sample volume requirements. In addition, once an array has been

designed and the components validated, a robotic arrayer can rapidly spot limitless copies for use with large sample groups.

In this article, two antibody microarray formats will be highlighted: direct labeling and fluorescence-linked immunosorbent assay (FLISA). Both assays use specific antibodies as the capture element. In direct labeling, all proteins in the sample mixture are labeled prior to capture in contrast to FLISA, where target proteins from an untreated sample mixture are captured and subsequently de-tected through the use of a biotinylated antibody and a fluorophore-labeled secondary antibody.

Antibodies used in microarray assays work best when they are highly purified, exhibit minimal cross-reactivity, and have been shown to work well in traditional ELISA formats. Initially, antibody solutions are prepared at a pre-determined optimal concentration (usually 300-500µg/ml), and then they are assembled into a print plate or microtiter plate, which is used by a robotic arrayer to prepare a spotted solid support. Six to ten replicates per antibody are usually sufficient and, depending on the researcher’s needs, up to 500 differ-ent antibodies per array can be spotted and immobilized for compari-son. The spotted support is blocked by treatment with a BSA solution for at least one hour, and then the support is ready to be exposed to the samples of interest (serum, urine, cell lysate, etc).

Figure IV-1 depicts direct labeling detection. All proteins in a complex mixture are conjugated to either a fluorophore (Figure V-1A), or biotin, prior to incubation with the capture element. The arrays are then washed and scanned for data analysis. The compari-son of signal intensities between samples can be used to measure the relative amounts or expression levels of detected proteins. Al-ternatively, the comparison of signal intensities to calibrated protein

standards, labeled with distinct fluorphores, allows exact expression levels to be quantitatively measured (Figure V-1B). Advantages of this method are its simplicity and the requirement of only one specific antibody per target. The primary disadvantage is increased background signal resulting from the labeling of all proteins in the

sample mixture (e.g. albumin in serum). Detection sensitivity is lim-ited by the concentration of the background protein relative to the target protein and is typically around 100ng/ml in serum.

In FLISA detection (Figure V-2), antibodies spotted on the microarray capture unlabeled protein targets. This is followed by in-

cubation with a cocktail of biotin-labeled antibodies, each antibody corresponding to one of the spotted capture antibodies. Finally, the array is incubated with a suitable detection antibody such as a fluoro-phore labeled anti-biotin secondary antibody. The FLISA detection format results in increased sensitivity, relative to the direct labeling method, because background is significantly reduced. Sensitivity in this format can be enhanced even further using tyramide signal amplification or rolling-circle amplification (3). However, optimi-zation of assays measuring many targets can be difficult using this format; therefore, FLISA detection is usually used for a limited num-ber of targets that are present at concentrations below the detection

limit of the direct labeling method. Although the detection limits for the assay depends on a number of parameters, including the affinity and specificity of the antibodies used, the protein background in the sample, and the detection conditions chosen, the FLISA method can provide detection limits in the low pg/ml range.

Flow Cytometry (FCM)Flow cytometry (FCM) is an extremely valuable research

tool for analyzing various microscopic particles, such as individ-ual cells. The development of this powerful technique represents the culmination of advances in several seemingly diverse scientific fields, including fluid mechanics, laser systems, optics, electronics, and computer programming. One of the major strengths of FCM is the capacity for multiparametric analysis of complex cell mixtures. FCM can be used to simultaneously determine multiple character-istics of individual cells within the mixed population, including the size, structural complexity, phenotype, and sub-type. Depending on the equipment being used, it is possible to analyze hundreds of indi-vidual samples per second.

The seemingly improbable task of evaluating multiple param-eters from samples containing such a vast and divergent number of cells is accomplished through the hydrodynamic focusing of the cells suspended in a suitable buffer, which allows for the optical and electrical systems’ individual analysis of each cell. Depending on the amount of information a researcher desires to collect from the samples, one or more lasers may be used for the analysis of the samples. Considering the complexity of orchestrating such a wide and varied range of systems, the accomplishment of such a feat re-lies heavily on the flow cytometer instrumentation.

An extended application of FCM technology is the ability to separate cells according to pre-determined characteristics deemed important by the researcher. Once they have been categorized us-ing these selected factors, an automated system collects the cells in designated receptacles for further study.

Fluidic System Fluid mechanics, or the study of the properties of fluids (in

this case, liquid) and their reactions to various forces, is one of the disciplines that must be utilized in FCM. In order to obtain reliable results from the analysis of samples while maintaining a high rate of analysis, it is crucial to ensure that the cells are passing through the observation point one at a time (Figure VI-1). Several factors must be considered in order to achieve the sample presentation required for this application. First, the cells must be completely suspended in a suitable solution; the presence of clusters or groupings will con-found the analysis and may clog the liquid handling components of the flow cytometer. Samples derived from blood, for the most part, already fit this requirement, while samples derived from whole tis-sue require a separate protocol in order to disassociate the cells from extracellular matrix components, and homogenize the sample.

Second, it is necessary to direct the cells, one at a time, through an intersection of the fluid stream and a laser beam. This is achieved through a process known as hydrodynamic focusing and occurs in a device referred to as the flow chamber. While the purpose of hy-drodynamic focusing can be simply stated as encasing the sample, or core fluid containing the cells, inside a sheath fluid resulting in “single file” presentation, obtaining this precarious state is anything but simple. The achievement of this spatial relationship utilizes a principle of fluid dynamics referred to as laminar flow. In laminar flow, the two fluid streams remain separate with no turbulence be-tween them allowing the cells to move in single file for analysis. A critical parameter in accomplishing this carefully balanced state is the relative pressures of the two liquid components. Maintain-ing the appropriate proportion of the pressure and flow rate for the sheath fluid in comparison to that of the core (cell containing) fluid is required in order to successfully execute the hydrodynamic focus-ing process. The higher pressure of the sheath fluid accelerates the core fluid, focusing the cells in the middle of the stream. This al-lows the laser to intersect the core stream and analyze the cells one at a time, and with maximum efficiency.

Optical and Electronic SystemsThe foundation for various modern assays relies on the analy-

sis of light, or more accurately, electromagnetic radiation. Advances in the development of critical components and highly specialized materials have enabled faster, more efficient optical analysis at re-duced costs, and have helped to propel FCM into a wider range of practical applications. There are several main components that com-prise the basic optical system of the flow cytometer (Figure VI-2).

The light source, which typically consists of a single laser, but can also consist of multiple lasers depending on the device in use and the parameters of the assay, acts as the excitation source. Filters and mirrors direct the beams and help differentiate the various wave-lengths of light. Finally, the detectors capture specified light signals and convert them to electrical signals.

There are two main categories of detection used in FCM: light scatter and fluorescence. In general terms, the information gener-ated by light scatter indicates the physical properties of the sample, whereas information generated from fluorescence relates more to biochemical properties, such as phenotype. In order to effectively detect light scatter and fluorescence, light detectors are placed at critical angles around the observation point. As the laser beam (in-cident beam) strikes a cell, the light of the beam will refract, or scatter, at various angles depending on certain characteristics of the cell.

The electronics present in the flow cytometer serve a basic but critical function in the analysis of the samples. As the laser beam interacts with the cells, the various detectors capture the scattered light and convert them into an electrical signal that can be inter-preted and processed by computer software. These detectors can be either photodiodes or photomultiplier tubes (PMT), each filling a specific role in the flow cytometer.

The light scatter detectors measure the intensity and corre-sponding refraction angles of the refracted beam, which falls into two main designations: forward scatter and side scatter. Forward scatter, or low angle scatter, is collected by a single detector known as the Forward Scatter Channel, or FSC, which is typically a pho-todiode. The FSC not only acts as a simple counter, but can also

Labeled Antibody ReagentsA number of FCM applications utilize fluorophore conjugat-

ed antibodies to indicate the presence of a specific protein or other marker. These antibodies typically recognize specific epitopes, ei-ther on the cell’s surface or inside the cell itself. For most FCM applications, the best results are obtained when the conjugated an-tibodies being used are highly purified preparations that bind with high affinity and specificity to their target antigens. High affinity antigen binding usually leads to a stronger signal, resulting in in-creased sensitivity. Use of highly specific antibodies typically yields unambiguous results, minimally compromised by non-specific bind-ing and background signals. Accordingly, either affinity purified polyclonal antibodies and/or high affinity monoclonal antibodies are, in most cases, best suited for use in FCM. The characteristics of the fluorophore(s) used are also critical. As discussed above, the difference between the peak emission and excitation frequencies should be as large as possible. Additionally, when multiple fluoro-phores are used in a single run, it is necessary that each flourophore contain a distinct emission spectrum.

SoftwareConsidering the high number of complex components that

must function in concert with one another, it is no surprise to learn that computer software is an essential part of successful FCM opera-tion. The software serves several main functions that are necessary for the proper analysis of the vast number of test samples. One of the primary functions is to control all of the complex mechanical and temporal systems that allow the flow cytometer to operate ef-

detect characteristics of the sample from the refraction pattern. The characteristics revealed by forward scatter include the general size or volume, and the integrity of the cell. Side scatter, or wide angle scatter, is detected by one or more Side Scatter Channels (SSC). This form of scatter is generally more pronounced for cells with greater complexity since various structures, both internal and ex-ternal, tend to increase the amount of light scattering. Information gathered from side scatter can also be used to determine the general shape of the cell. Additionally, the SSCs can detect fluorescent sig-nals in assays that incorporate fluorescence.

The forward scatter and side scatter profiles of each cell type are unique, and when the information from each channel is com-bined, it is possible to accurately determine the cell types present in a heterogeneous population. More detailed information can be collected from the emission of added marker specific fluorophore conjugated antibodies.

Fluorescence is a form of luminescence that relies on the input of energy, in this case photons from the laser source, to increase the energy state of the molecule (fluorophore). The flourophore then emits light when reverting to a lower energy state. The excitation and emission characteristics (spectral properties) are important fac-tors in determining the suitability of flourophores to FCM applica-tions. Ideally, it is best to have as large of a difference as possible between the excitation and emission wavelengths (known as the Stokes Shift). If the excitation and emission spectra are too close to one another, or even overlap, it becomes increasingly difficult to obtain reliable results.

Once a run has been completed, the flow cytometry software functions to analyze the results. It is necessary to compile, interpret, and present a wide range of data coming from each sample. It is also important to differentiate between productive information and pos-sible contaminating or spurious data generated from the sample.

Fluorescence-Activated Cell Sorting (FACS™)Fluorescence-Activated Cell Sorting (FACS™*) is an extend-

ed application of flow cytometry. FACS™ can achieve the physical separation and collection of cells based on predetermined charac-teristics and parameters. During the FACS™ process, a specified fluorescence emission is detected, which triggers the impartation of a static charge by an integrated electrical charging ring. The charge is triggered just as the fluid stream is broken into droplets that typically contain one cell. The cell containing droplets then pass through an electromagnetic field where they are diverted based on charge, separated, and ultimately collected. The resulting isolated cell populations can then be further characterized or used in subse-quent research protocols.
