Invitrogen Flow Cytometry Panel Builder FAQs

  1. Can I go back a step without losing the work I did?
    • Yes, the previous work is saved.
  2. My marker isn’t showing up under step 2 of antigen, but I see it in the catalogue.How can I remedy this?
    • Select your target species first, and then type your antigen.
  3. How do I share my panel with my lab manager?
    • Export the spreadsheet found on step 5.
  4. What do the colorful dots indicate in the “Fluorochromes” step?
    • The dots indicate the number of fluorochromes that Thermo Fisher Scientific has available in each channel on the cytometer you have chosen.
  5. My cytometer does not use a standard configuration.How can I make changes to one in the dropdown?
    • Select a cytometer from the dropdown menu and then select the “Edit cytometer settings” link to modify the configuration as needed.
  6. I can’t find my cytometer in the dropdown.Can I build one?
    • Yes, you can define a new cytometer using the “Enter your cytometer manually” link below the cytometer dropdown menu.
  7. I do not order products through thermofisher.com.What other endpoints are available to me?
    • There are both PDF (printable) and CSV (spreadsheet) exports available in the summary step for you to take away for reference and ordering purposes.
  8. I plan to use antibodies that are not from Thermo Fisher Scientific.How can this Panel Builder be useful to me?
    • Step 2 allows for antibodies you already purchase or from outside Thermo Fisher Scientific.If you are undecided about which format you want for something, you can add the antigen name in the “Antibodies you need” section and then choose a placeholder fluorochrome in the following step.Both will help you keep track of channels that are reserved for reagents that you do not plan to buy from Thermo Fisher Scientific.
       

流式荧光染料选择指南

流式荧光发射光时有不同的亮度(图 2)。在Panel Builder上选择荧光染料时,赛默飞建议:

  • 基于特定流式细胞仪,测试染色指数。流式厂家在他们的仪器上使用同一克隆、不同荧光基团的抗体测试出染色指数。也可以用流式微球得到染色指数,比如图 2 显示了在Attune NxT流式细胞仪上常见荧光染料的染色指数。每个流式细胞仪都有不同的激光、滤光片和检测通道,这都会影响到荧光染料偶联的标志物检测信号。
  • 根据蛋白表达水平,搭配荧光染料的不同亮度。 仅仅使用非常明亮的流式荧光会导致荧光溢漏,并减弱标志物信号。
  • 在每种抗体克隆及其荧光染料上,检测其平均荧光强度来比较亮度。这些可以在产品数据表中找到。

蛋白表达丰度(抗原密度)

了解您的蛋白表达丰度,可以更好地确定相应流式荧光染料。非常明亮的流式荧光染料适用于低表达丰度的靶标, 较暗的荧光染料更适合高表达丰度的靶标, 赛默飞建议:

  • 基因表达水平会因细胞来源、刺激条件和固定方案而变化。
  • 很暗的荧光染料可以检测高表达蛋白,而很亮的荧光染料方便检测低丰度蛋白。
  • 使用流式补偿微球可以帮助确定抗原表达强度。各大基因遗传数据库也可以确定RNA表达水平。

Tip 1: Minimize spill-over by using the correct and separate channel

Any time you have markers that you know will be co-expressed on your cells of interest, make sure to space them out into separate channels.If you will need to use any adjacent channels, that's where you would put any markers that are mutually exclusive so that they'll still be easy to distinguish.

Tip 2: Intracellular targets need special buffer for fixation and permeabilization for staining

You'll also want to keep in mind the buffer that you're using to fix and permeabilize your cells, as we have several options.When you're looking at cytoplasmic targets, what the buffer is appropriate may not be the same as when you're looking at nuclear targets, because you want to make sure that you still have access to your antigens without over-fixing your epitopes.

Tip 3: Viability dyes are required to find live cells

A third tip I wanted to share with you is to always include a viability dye in your staining panel.This will help eliminate any false positives that are caused by dead cells or debris, because those can be sticky.You have a lot of options for choosing a viability dye, so you don't need to design your panel around them.You can build out the rest of your panel and optimize your core markers, and then fit in a viability dye in an empty channel.

Tip 4: Save your bright fluorochromes for dim targets

As you're building out your basic panel and you want to incorporate some more antigens, make sure you're keeping the density of your antigen expression in mind.So if you have antigens with low or unknown expression, those would be ones that you want to assign to your brightest dyes, such as PE or APC.

Tip 5: Try to combine negative markers in one channel (dump channel) to save space on your panel

A helpful trick when you want to exclude a lot of cell types at once without having to suck up multiple channels for that would be to use a dump channel.This is where you're placing all the antibodies that identify your cells that are not of interest into the same channel with the same fluorochrome, and then those can be easily gated out and all of the cells negative for the dump channel would be those that you use for your analysis going forward.
