However, the influence of cell type and marker specificity on the stability of fluorescence intensity after fixation has not been well studied.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title><jats:p>Human whole blood was stained using a panel of fluorescein isothiocyanate\u2010labeled antibodies to surface markers. Unfixed and fixed samples were analyzed by flow cytometry at 0, 2, 4, 6, 24, 48, and 96 h after staining. Fluorescence measurements were converted to molecules of equivalent soluble fluorochrome for comparison.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title><jats:p>Fixation caused a significant decrease in both forward and side scatter at 48 h which required gating adjustments to achieve resolution of cell populations. The autofluorescence increased progressively in fixed samples (ninefold at 96 h for monocytes). Variable decreases in marker\u2010associated fluorescence became apparent after correction for autofluorescence. The magnitude of the decrease at 96 h varied with cell type and marker, from 5% for CD32 on monocytes to 39% for CD16 on neutrophils.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title><jats:p>The change in fluorescence intensity following staining and fixation of leukocytes varies with cell type and surface marker. Fluorescence stability should be determined for each cell type and marker used, and the confounding effects of fixation on cell autofluorescence should be considered. \u00a9 2007 International Society for Analytical Cytology.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/cyto.a.20392","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,2,26]],"date-time":"2007-02-26T23:39:36Z","timestamp":1172533176000},"page":"379-385","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":44,"title":["Changes in fluorescence intensity of selected leukocyte surface markers following fixation"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"71A","author":[{"given":"Judith C.","family":"Stewart","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michelle L.","family":"Villasmil","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mark W.","family":"Frampton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,2,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0091-679X(01)63015-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_3_2","first-page":"296","volume-title":"Flow Cytometry First Principles","author":"Givan AL","year":"2004"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0022-1759(86)90278-4"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0022-1759(81)90253-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/cyto.990090305"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_7_2","first-page":"143","volume-title":"Clinical Flow Cytometry, Principles and Application","author":"Lewis DE","year":"1993"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_8_2","first-page":"227","volume-title":"Flow Cytometry and Sorting","author":"Crissman HA","year":"1990"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_9_2","first-page":"63","volume-title":"Theory and Practice of Histological Techniques","author":"Hopwood D","year":"2002"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0304-3940(88)90458-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/(SICI)1097-0320(19961215)26:4<265::AID-CYTO5>3.0.CO;2-B"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0049-3848(00)00308-X"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/cyto.990140808"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/cyto.990170106"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/08958379409003044"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF01003548"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_17_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/cyto.990130414"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_18_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/002215540104900411"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_19_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/(SICI)1097-0320(19961101)25:3<271::AID-CYTO8>3.0.CO;2-I"}],"container-title":["Cytometry Part A"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1002%2Fcyto.a.20392","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1002\/cyto.a.20392","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,11]],"date-time":"2023-10-11T18:44:49Z","timestamp":1697049889000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1002\/cyto.a.20392"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2007,2,26]]},"references-count":18,"journal-issue":{"issue":"6","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2007,6]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1002\/cyto.a.20392"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/cyto.a.20392","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1552-4922","1552-4930"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1552-4922","type":"print"},{"value":"1552-4930","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2007,2,26]]}}}
