Fundamentally, this is due to the fact that one cannot measure the same particle multiple times. We propose a simple experiment that uses a cell sorter to distinguish instrument-specific variation. For a population of beads whose intensities are distributed around a single peak, the sorter is used to collect beads whose measured intensities lie below some threshold. This subset of particles is then remeasured. If the variation in the measured values is only due to the sample, the second set of measurements should also lie entirely below our threshold. Any \"spillover\" is therefore due to instrument-specific effects-we demonstrate how the distribution of the post-sort measurements is sufficient to extract an estimate of the cumulative variability induced by the instrument. A distinguishing feature of our work is that we do not make any assumptions about the sources of said noise. We then show how \"local affine transformations\" let us transfer these estimates to cytometers not equipped with a sorter. We use our analysis to estimate noise for a set of three instruments and two bead types, across a range of sample flow rates. Lastly, we discuss the implications of instrument noise on optimal classification, as well as other applications.</p>","PeriodicalId":11068,"journal":{"name":"Cytometry Part A","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143709090","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We developed TimeFlow, a new method for computing pseudotime in multi-dimensional flow cytometry datasets. TimeFlow tracks the differentiation path of each cell on a graph by following smooth changes in the cell population density. To compute the probability density function of the cells, it uses a normalizing flow model. We profiled bone marrow samples from three healthy patients using a 20-color antibody panel for flow cytometry and prepared datasets that ranged from 5,000 to 600,000 cells and included monocytes, neutrophils, erythrocytes, and B-cells at various maturation stages. TimeFlow computed fine-grained pseudotime for all the datasets, and the cell orderings were consistent with prior knowledge of human hematopoiesis. Experiments showed its potential in generalizing across patients and unseen cell states. We compared our method to 11 other pseudotime methods using in-house and public datasets and found very good performance for both linear and branching trajectories. TimeFlow's pseudotemporal orderings are useful for modeling the dynamics of cell surface proteins along linear trajectories. The biologically meaningful results in branching trajectories suggest the possibility of future applications with automated cell lineage detection.

Spectral flow cytometry (SFM) enables deep profiling at the single-cell level. It is able to detect many fluorescent parameters within one measurement; therefore, it is vastly useful when patient material is limited. However, designing and analyzing these high-dimensional datasets remains complex. We optimized a 42-parameter panel (40 commercially available fluorochromes, one stacked fluorochrome and an autofluorescent (AF) parameter) that enables the identification of innate and adaptive immune cell composition. It is the first 42-parameter panel that is optimized on peripheral whole blood, and it outperforms other published OMIPs of 40 colors in terms of complexity. With this panel, we are able to identify neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils, monocytes, dendritic cells, CD4 T cells, CD8 T cells, regulatory T cells, mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells, γδ T cells, B cells, NK cells, dendritic cells, and innate lymphoid cells (ILCs). Furthermore, with the utilization of co-stimulatory, checkpoint, activation, homing, and maturation markers, this panel enables deeper phenotyping. Within one measurement, more than 80 distinct immune cell subsets were identified by FlowSOM and annotated manually. In conclusion, with this high-dimensional SFM panel, we aim to generate immune profiles to understand disease and monitor therapy response.</p>","PeriodicalId":11068,"journal":{"name":"Cytometry Part A","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143647609","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nevertheless, popular tools for high-throughput single-cell biology, such as flow cytometers, only offer proxies of a cell's size, typically reported in arbitrary scales and often subject to changes in the instrument's settings as selected by multiple users. In this paper, we demonstrate that it is possible to calibrate flowcytometry laser scatter signals with accurate measures of cell diameter from separate devices and that the calibration can be conserved upon changes in the laser settings. We demonstrate our approach based on flow cytometric sorting of cells of a mammalian cell line according to a selection of scatter parameters, followed by cell size determination with a Coulter counter. A straightforward procedure is presented that relates the flow cytometric scatter parameters to the absolute size measurements using linear models, along with a linear transformation that converts between different instrument settings on the flow cytometer. Our method makes it possible to record on a flow cytometer a cell's size in absolute units and correlate it with other features that are recorded in parallel in the fluorescence detection channels.</p>","PeriodicalId":11068,"journal":{"name":"Cytometry Part A","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143604291","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we integrated autogating with Automated Machine Learning in flow cytometry to enhance the classification of bacterial phenotypes. We analyzed six bacterial strains prevalent in the soil and groundwater-Bacillus subtilis, Burkholderia thailandensis, Corynebacterium glutamicum, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas putida, and Pseudomonas stutzeri. Using the H2O-AutoML framework, we applied gradient-boosting machine (GBM) models to classify bacteria across different metabolic phases. Our results demonstrated an overall classification accuracy of 82.34% for GBM. Notably, accuracy varied across metabolic phases, with the highest observed during the late log (88.06%), lag (88.43%), and early log phases (89.37%), whereas the stationary phase showed a slightly lower accuracy of 80.73%. P. stutzeri exhibited consistently high sensitivity and specificity across all the phases, which indicated that it was the most distinctly identifiable strain. In contrast, E. coli showed low sensitivity, particularly in the stationary phase, which indicated challenges in its classification. Overall, this study with incorporating autogating and the AutoML framework, substantially reduces subjective biases and enhances the reproducibility and accuracy of microbial classification. Our methodology offers a robust framework for microbial classification in flow cytometric analysis, paving the way for more precise and comprehensive analyses of microbial ecology.</p>","PeriodicalId":11068,"journal":{"name":"Cytometry Part A","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143584916","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) acts as a signal receiver upon EGF binding and produces mitogenic input for many cells also through receptor-heterodimerization with its ligandless partner, Human Epidermal growth factor Receptor 2 (HER2). Ligand-driven transactivation is a key step leading to changes in the cell surface pattern of EGFR and HER2; their interaction plays a key role in various malignancies, especially when HER2 molecules are overexpressed. Our clinically relevant model system is the SK-BR-3 breast tumor cell line, overexpressing HER2 and moderately expressing EGFR. This cell line shows significant dependency on EGF-driven HER2 signaling. We studied changes in the interaction between EGFR and HER2 in the cell membrane upon EGF binding, applying various biophysical approaches with different time scales. Changes in molecular proximity were characterized by fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) techniques assessing Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET), which confirmed the ligand-enhanced interaction of EGFR and HER2, followed by an increase in HER2 homoassociation. EGF binding and transactivation were reflected in the phosphorylation of both receptor types as well. At the same time, superresolution Airyscan microscopy and fluorescence correlation and cross-correlation spectroscopy (FCS/FCCS), sensitive to changes in the size of stationary and diffusing aggregates, respectively, have revealed cyclic increases in the aggregation and stable co-diffusion of membrane-localized HER2, possibly caused by internalization and recycling, eventually leading to a new equilibrium. Such dynamic fluctuation of receptor interaction may open a window for the binding of therapeutic antibodies that are aimed at inhibiting heterodimerization, such as pertuzumab. The complementary array of state-of-the-art imaging cytometry approaches thus demonstrates a spatiotemporal pattern of spontaneous and induced receptor aggregation states that could provide mechanistic insights into the potential success of targeted therapies directed at the HER family of receptor tyrosine kinases.</p>","PeriodicalId":11068,"journal":{"name":"Cytometry Part A","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143572474","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
