To explore flow cytometry (FCM) based method for automatic analysis of micronuclei (MN) in cells staining with anti-CD71-FITC and PI.
Cell were fixed in -85 degrees C methanol and stained with anti-CD71-FITC and PI, instrument was optimized using malaria-infected erythrocytes as biological standards, a FCM based method for automatic analysis of micronuclei was established. In order to estimate the reliability of the method, the frequencies of micronucleated reticulocytes (MN-RET) in peripheral blood of NIH mice treated with colchicine (COL) was detected using the method.
Four cell populations, normochromatic erythrocytes (NCE), reticulocytes (RET), micronucleated erythrocytes (MN-NCE) and MN-RET could be clearly resolved on the FL1-FL2 dot plot using this method. COL induced a dose-dependent increases in the frequency MN-RET in peripheral blood. Data obtained manually and automatically showed a strong linear correlation (r = 0.98) as far as the percentage of MN-RET.
The FCM-based automatic technique using FITC-anti-CD71 and PI staining is a reliable tool for micronucleus analysis.
探索基于流式细胞术(FCM)的方法,用于自动分析抗CD71 - FITC和PI染色细胞中的微核(MN)。
细胞用 -85℃甲醇固定,并用抗CD71 - FITC和PI染色,以感染疟原虫的红细胞作为生物学标准对仪器进行优化,建立基于FCM的微核自动分析方法。为评估该方法的可靠性,用该方法检测秋水仙碱(COL)处理的NIH小鼠外周血中含微核网织红细胞(MN - RET)的频率。
使用该方法在FL1 - FL2散点图上可清晰分辨出四个细胞群体,即正色红细胞(NCE)、网织红细胞(RET)、含微核红细胞(MN - NCE)和MN - RET。COL诱导外周血中MN - RET频率呈剂量依赖性增加。就MN - RET百分比而言,手动和自动获得的数据显示出很强的线性相关性(r = 0.98)。
使用FITC - 抗CD71和PI染色的基于FCM的自动技术是微核分析的可靠工具。
