Multicolor flow cytometry requires thorough knowledge not only of your proteins of interest, but also of the corresponding fluorochromes that will be used in your panel. Not all fluorochromes are bright, some are prone to photobleaching, and others are sensitive to fixation and permeabilization. ...

Overview of flow cytometry compensation beads Flow cytometry multicolor experiments may need compensation when there is fluorescence spillover (Figure 1). Pairing fluorochromes based on antigen density, fluorochrome brightness, and separating by channels helps minimize the...
However, the proportion of light spillover EuroFlow standardization of flow cytometry protocols T Kalina et al 1993 from the total fluorescence emission is constant for each fluorochrome, implying that this spillover can be mathematically calculated and subtracted.7 The term 'fluorescence compensation' ...
Assessment of the effects of instrumentation, monoclonal antibody, and fluorochrome on flow cytometric immunophenotyping: a report based on 2 years of the NIAID DAIDS flow cytometry quality assessment program. Clinical immunology and immunopathology 66, 150–162 (1993). 47. Sax, P. E., Boswell, ...
A single antibody (anti-TRBC1; JOVI-1 antibody clone) against one of the two mutually exclusive T-cell receptor β-chain constant domains was identified as a potentially useful flow-cytometry (FCM) marker to assess Tαβ-cell clonality. We optimized the TRBC1-FCM approach for detecting clonal...
Staining Intracellular Antigens for Flow Cytometry
Over the last 10 years or so there has been a proliferation of flow cytometry analysis packages been written in software like R. These packages often add some interesting and exciting analysis capabilities for the data, but if you are not facile with R, trying to use them may be daunting....

Flow cytometry multicolor experiments may need compensation when there is fluorescence spillover (Figure 1). Pairing fluorochromes based on antigen density, fluorochrome brightness, and separating by channels helps minimize the effects from spillover and may remove th...
