Its an In Vitro Cell Proliferation using Leukemia patient cells lines. Cell Proliferation Dye Used : Tag-It Violet Cell Proliferation Dye. Thank you a lot.
Gating: As before, exclude debris, doublets, and dead cells based on FSC and SSC. For leukemia cells, you might also consider excluding dead cells using viability dyes like propidium iodide (PI).
Proliferation Analysis:
Find the Proliferation Platform: Navigate to the "Biology" tab and select the "Proliferation" platform.
Identify Resting Cells: Since Tag-It Violet is not generation-specific, there won't be distinct peaks for each generation. Instead, look for a broader peak representing resting cells with low dye intensity.
Set Gate for Resting Cells: Draw a gate around the peak representing the population of resting cells (low Tag-It Violet intensity).
Analyze Proliferating Cells: FlowJo will calculate the percentage of cells with higher Tag-It Violet intensity, which corresponds to proliferating cells.
Output and Statistics:
View Results: FlowJo will display the distribution of cells based on Tag-It Violet intensity. You'll get statistics like the percentage of resting cells (gated population) and the percentage of proliferating cells (high-intensity population).
Additional Considerations:
Compensation: Ensure compensation is set for Tag-It Violet (usually excited by a violet laser) to avoid overlap with other fluorochromes used for viability staining.
Positive Controls: Include a positive control, such as stimulated healthy cells, to validate the assay's ability to detect proliferation.
Cell Line Specificity: Proliferation patterns might vary depending on the specific leukemia cell line used. Consider historical data or pilot experiments to establish baselines.
