Flow Cytometry

15.3K
The development of flow cytometry techniques began in 1934 with initial attempts by Andrew Moldavan, a bacteriologist who counted the cells in a flowing capillary system. Moldavan pumped cells through a capillary tube focused under a microscope for visualization. The invention of photometry allowed the measurement of differentially-stained cells, and Louis Kamentsky developed the first multiparameter flow cytometer in 1965 to identify and count the cancer cells in cervical tissue specimens.

Background:

  • Traditional flow cytometry analysis relies on subjective gating, which is insufficient for high-dimensional data.
  • High-dimensional single-cell analysis tools offer comprehensive characterization of cellular heterogeneity.
  • The complexity of new analysis packages can be overwhelming for immunologists.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a detailed workflow for applying high-dimensional single-cell analysis tools to flow cytometry data.
  • To offer readily applicable R code for transformation, normalization, dimensionality reduction, clustering, and pseudotime analysis.
  • To demonstrate the utility of the workflow in uncovering cellular heterogeneity and intercellular relationships.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a computational workflow integrating existing high-dimensional single-cell analysis tools.
  • Application of R code for data preprocessing, dimensionality reduction, clustering, and pseudotime analysis.
  • Reanalysis of a public human flow cytometry dataset.
