5 March 2015Standardizing flow cytometric assays in long-term population-based studies
Quantification of leukocyte subpopulations and characterization of antigen-expression pattern on the cellular
surface can play an important role in diagnostics. The state of cellular immunology on the single-cell level
was analyzed by polychromatic flow cytometry in a recent comparative study within the average Leipzig
population (LIFE - Leipzig Research Centre for Civilization Diseases). Data of 1699 subjects were recorded
over a long-time period of three years (in a total of 1126 days). To ensure compatibility of such huge data
sets, quality-controls on many levels (stability of instrumentation, low intra-laboratory variance and reader independent
data analysis) are essential. The LIFE study aims to analyze various cytometric pattern to reveal
the relationship between the life-style, the environmental effects and the individual health. We therefore
present here a multi-step quality control procedure for long-term comparative studies.
