  5. The goals of this presentation are: • To identify the nature of functional assays in Cytometry • To expand on how they operate • To discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each • To discuss the application of these assays

  6. Kinetics • Principle of Time Measurements • Live cells can be measured as easily as dead cells • You only need a small number of cells in a changing environment • End point assays can describe the activity of the cell

  7. Cellular Functions • Ionic Flux Determinations • Calcium • Intracellular pH • Membrane Potential • Membrane Polarization • Lipid Peroxidation • Cell Viability • Phagocytosis • Organelle Function • mitochondria, ER • endosomes, Golgi • Oxidative Reactions • Superoxide • Hydrogen Peroxide • Nitric Oxide • Glutathione levels

  8. What do we measure? Fluorescence TIME

  9. Fluorescent Indicators How the assays work: • Superoxide: Utilizes hydroethidine the sodium borohydride reduced derivative of EB • Hydrogen Peroxide: DCFH-DA is freely permeable and enters the cell where cellular esterases hydrolyze the acetate moieties making a polar structure which remain in the cell. Oxidants (H2O2) oxidize the DCFH to fluorescent DCF • Glutathione: In human samples measured using 40 M monobromobimane which combines with GSH by means of glutathione-S-transferase. This reaction occurs within 10 minutes reaction time. • Nitric Oxide: DCFH-DA can also be used as an indicator for nitric oxide in a manner similar to H2O2

Some examples of rapidly changing antigen expression systems Endothelial Adhesion Molecules Neutrophil Counter Ligand s-Lex (CD15s) P-selectin (CD62P) s-Lex, CD66, L-selectin, b2 integrins E-selectin (CD62E) Neutrophil Adhesion Molecules Endothelial Counter Ligand s-Lex (CD15s) L-selectin (CD62L) CD11a/CD18 ICAM-1 (CD54), ICAM-2 (CD102) CD11b/CD18 ICAM-1 (CD54), [iC3b, fibrinogen, factor X] CD11c/CD18 ?, [iC3b, fibrinogen]

L-selectin &CHO ligands (e.g. sLex) E-selectin & P-selectin CD11b ICAM-1 a c b d TNFa IL-1 BACTERIAL INFECTION Neutrophils Endothelial Cells The circulating neutrophil (a) and the initiation of rolling (b) as molecular tethers are formed between selectin and CHO ligands on neutrophils and endothelial cells. If an adequate number of tethers are formed, the neutrophil completely decelerates and with chemotactic stimulation of the neutrophil, L-selectin is rapidly shed while other receptors like E-selectin, CD11b and ICAM-1 are up-regulated by cytokines and other inflammatory mediators (c). Firm neutrophil/endothelial cell adhesion is mediated by CD11b and ICAM-1 and is followed by emigration of the neutrophil through the endothelium (d).

Nitric oxide (NO.) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced by both neutrophils and endothelial cells thus the interaction between these reactive species becomes very complicated.

  28. Phagocytosis • How the assay works: • Particles or cells are labeled with a fluorescent probe • The cells and particles are mixed so phagocytosis takes place • The cells are mixed with a fluorescent absorber to remove fluorescence from membrane bound particles • The remaining fluorescence • represents internal particles • Uptake of Fluorescent labeled particles • Determination of intracellular or extracellular state of particles FITC-Labeled Bacteria
