Discrimination of viable and non‐viable cells using propidium iodide in two color immunofluorescence

Abstract: The relative ease with which a flow cytometer can perform simultaneous two color immunofluorescence to examine subpopulations of lymphoid cells has been well documented. Thus, flow cytometers equipped with only a single argon laser can be used to delineate various cell types by exciting both fluorescein-and phycoerythrin-conjugated antibodies to cell surface antigens. One problem that remains, however, is the artifactual staining of dead cells and clumps, which cannot be distinguished from viable cells on the … Show more

“…After expansion, cells were (Young et al, 1991 and greater than 98% by the propidium iodide [Calbiochem-Novabiochem Corporation, La Jolla, CA] exclusion technique (Sasaki et al, 1987). One hundred microliters of cell preparation (1 ϫ 10 5 cells) were stained with saturating concentrations of fluorescein isothiocyanate-(FITC), phycoerythrin-(PE), allophycocyanin (APC), or perdinin chlorophyll protein-(PerCP) conjugated CD3, CD4, CD8, CD11c, CD33, CD34, CD36, CD38, CD45, CD90, CD117, glycophorin-A, and HLA-II (DR), or isotype matched controls (Becton Dickinson, Inc.
