METHOD OF ANALYZING CELLS BY FLOW CYTOMETRY, USE OF AN ANTIOXIDANT AND/OR FREE RADICAL-SCAVENGING AGENT IN SUCH A METHOD AND INCUBATION BUFFER COMPRISING AN ANTIOXIDANT AND/OR FREE RADICAL-SCAVENGING AGENT

摘要

The invention relates to a method of analyzing cells by flow cytometry and the use of an antioxidant and/or free radical-scavenging agent in such a method. It also relates to an incubation buffer comprising an antioxidant and/or free radical-scavenging agent. The method of the invention comprises a step for labeling cells in a labeling solution comprising an incubation buffer and the labeling antibody or antibodies conjugated with at least one fluorochrome which is an APC tandem and an antioxidant and/or free radical-scavenging agent. The invention finds application in the field of the analysis of cells by flow cytometry, in particular.
