Abstract

The field of flow cytometry has witnessed rapid technological advancements in the last few decades. While the founding principles of fluorescent detection on cells (or particles) within a uniform fluid stream remains largely unchanged, the availability more sensitive cytometers with the ability to multiplex more and more florescent signals has resulted in very complex high-order assays. This results in the co-use of fluorophores with increased levels of emission overlap and/or spillover spreading than in years past and thus requires careful and well thought out planning for flow cytometry assay development. As an example, we present the development of a large 18-color (20 parameter) flow cytometry assay designed to take an in depth analysis of effector lymphocyte phenotypes, with careful attention to assay controls and panel design.
