SOFTWARE INTEGRATED FLOW CYTOMETRIC ASSAY FOR QUANTIFICATION OF THE HUMAN POLYMORPHONUCLEAR LEUKOCYTE Fc?RI RECEPTOR (CD64)

摘要

The invention relates a method of quantifying CD64 and CD 163 expression in leukocytes and, specifically to a kit for use with a flow cytometer including a suspension of quantitative fluorescent microbead standards, fluorescent labeled antibodies directed to CD64 and CD 163, and analytical software. The software is used to take information on the microbead suspension and fluorescent labeled antibodies from a flow cytometer and analyse data, smooth curves, calculate new parameters, provide quality control measures and notify of expiration of the assay system.
