Introduction
Fluorescence Activated-Cell Sorting
Enables a mixture of different cells to be sorted one by one into one or more
containers.
Cells are sorted according to their specific light scattering and fluorescent
characteristics (Robertson 2010).
(Blogs.sun.ac.za n.d.)
The ways to display the FACS data collected by computer:
(Robertson 2010)
(Bio.davidson.edu 2001)
Cells (by tagging to an antibody linked to fluorescent dye) are passed into
the middle of a fast flowing liquid stream
Vibration is applied to break the stream up into droplets
Laser light excites the dye which emits a colour of light
The colored light is detected by a photomultiplier tube or a light detector
An electrical charging ring is positioned
An electrical charge is applied to the stream and the newly formed drop will
form with charge
Charged drop will be then deflected left or right by charged electrodes and
into waiting sample tube (Robertson 2010)
Discussion
Application
used to separate different populations of cells from a mixed community where it
allows physical enrichment or isolation even of yet uncultured organisms that
can be used for subsequent molecular genetic studies and cultivation (Roest
2007).
Park et al. (cited in Roest 2007) used this technique for analysis of activated-
sludge and Yellowstone Lake hydrothermal vent samples and he detected
various unknown bacterial species which were not detectable in the previous
original sample due to low relative abundance and this limitation could be
overcome by the application of FACS.
Discussion
Application
Separation & isolation of γδ T cells from a population of lymphocytes.
Why study γδ T cells ?
Deficiency of γδ T cells aggravates colitis in animal models.
Suggesting that they possesses regulatory properties in secretion of cytokines.
γδ T cells specific subset of T cells, play a prominent role in recognizing
lipid antigens, may be triggered by alarm signals, such as heat shock proteins.
Cell sample are stained with fluorescent antibody which binds specifically to
surface markers on γδ T cells.
(Kühl et al. 2009)
(Dartmouth Undergraduate Journal of Science 2008)
Discussion
Application
Screening for intracellular and secreted proteins
Cells with high secretion
rate can be sorted and
subcloned.
Plasmids are isolated and
retransformed into the host
strain.
(Mattanovich & Borth 2006)
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF)
Diagnostics
 Idiopathic – any disease/condition that arise spontaneously with an
unknown cause.
 Pulmonary Fibrosis – scar tissue forms in lungs.
 Lung tissue become stiff and scarred.
 S & S – dry cough & trouble breathing.
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF)
Diagnostics
 Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells (MDSC)
 Suppress immune system
Tissue remodeling  angiogenesis  aggressive cancer
(Bronte and Gabrilovich 2016)
 Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorting (FACS) helps to determine quantity of
MDSC in blood samples.
 Higher number of MDSC found in IPF patients.
 MDSC as biomarkers.
(Lawrence 2016)
 Sorter is mainly for the use on a large population of cells causing the recovery rate is fairly slow (Lauren 2007).
 There is a tradeoff between the sorting speed, purity rate and recovery state (Lauren 2007).
 Currently, traditional FACS machine is very large and space consuming but it is the ideal size for its function (Lauren
2007).
 In modern cancer and immunology research, it is considered expensive due to the inevitable process to recover all the
cells from the sorter with maximum possible purity rate (FACS 2016).
 FACS is limited to its specific purpose and prolonged process, more than 6 hours compared to magnetic cell sorting
type (eg. FACS only enable one cell to pass through the laser focus at a time) (Catherine, Brian T and Timothy C 2010).
 Requires debulking process first (Catherine, Brian T and Timothy C 2010).
 Limited number of fluorophore-conjugated antibody reagent for clinical processing (Catherine, Brian T and Timothy
C 2010).
 Direct and indirect method for Immunofluorescence are correlated to each other to give a better results (Abcam.com
2016).
 Challenging to detect low abundance proteins even with indirect methods. (eg. Biotinylated antibodies offer an extra
layer for increased signal amplification.) (Abcam.com 2016).
Main Challenges & Limitation

(Lauren 2007).
Conclusion
 Function of FACS  To sort cells according to their specific light scattering and fluorescent characteristics.
 Applications
 Separation of different populations of cells from a mixed community
 Separation & isolation of γδ T cells from a population of lymphocytes
 Screening of intracellular and secreted protein
 Current development
 Determination of quantity of MDSC in blood samples of IPF patients.
 Challenges & limitation
 Slow recovery rate
 Space consuming
 Expensive; Long processing hours
 Requires debulking process
 Limited number of fluorophore-conjugated antibody reagent
 Challenging to detect low abundance proteins

Application of Fluorescence Activated-Cell Sorting (FACS) in separation of different populations of cells from a mixed community

  • 1. Application of Fluorescence Activated-Cell Sorting (FACS) -Separation of different populations of cells from a mixed community Presented by : Goh Mei Ying (0317999) Lim Tze Shien (0323020) Muhammad Uzair (0321618) Nur Nabihah Mohamat (0318664) Ting Sing Hong (0317799)
  • 2. Introduction Fluorescence Activated-Cell Sorting Enables a mixture of different cells to be sorted one by one into one or more containers. Cells are sorted according to their specific light scattering and fluorescent characteristics (Robertson 2010). (Blogs.sun.ac.za n.d.) The ways to display the FACS data collected by computer: (Robertson 2010)
  • 3. (Bio.davidson.edu 2001) Cells (by tagging to an antibody linked to fluorescent dye) are passed into the middle of a fast flowing liquid stream Vibration is applied to break the stream up into droplets Laser light excites the dye which emits a colour of light The colored light is detected by a photomultiplier tube or a light detector An electrical charging ring is positioned An electrical charge is applied to the stream and the newly formed drop will form with charge Charged drop will be then deflected left or right by charged electrodes and into waiting sample tube (Robertson 2010)
  • 4. Discussion Application used to separate different populations of cells from a mixed community where it allows physical enrichment or isolation even of yet uncultured organisms that can be used for subsequent molecular genetic studies and cultivation (Roest 2007). Park et al. (cited in Roest 2007) used this technique for analysis of activated- sludge and Yellowstone Lake hydrothermal vent samples and he detected various unknown bacterial species which were not detectable in the previous original sample due to low relative abundance and this limitation could be overcome by the application of FACS.
  • 5. Discussion Application Separation & isolation of γδ T cells from a population of lymphocytes. Why study γδ T cells ? Deficiency of γδ T cells aggravates colitis in animal models. Suggesting that they possesses regulatory properties in secretion of cytokines. γδ T cells specific subset of T cells, play a prominent role in recognizing lipid antigens, may be triggered by alarm signals, such as heat shock proteins. Cell sample are stained with fluorescent antibody which binds specifically to surface markers on γδ T cells. (Kühl et al. 2009) (Dartmouth Undergraduate Journal of Science 2008)
  • 6. Discussion Application Screening for intracellular and secreted proteins Cells with high secretion rate can be sorted and subcloned. Plasmids are isolated and retransformed into the host strain. (Mattanovich & Borth 2006)

  • 9.  Sorter is mainly for the use on a large population of cells causing the recovery rate is fairly slow (Lauren 2007).  There is a tradeoff between the sorting speed, purity rate and recovery state (Lauren 2007).  Currently, traditional FACS machine is very large and space consuming but it is the ideal size for its function (Lauren 2007).  In modern cancer and immunology research, it is considered expensive due to the inevitable process to recover all the cells from the sorter with maximum possible purity rate (FACS 2016).  FACS is limited to its specific purpose and prolonged process, more than 6 hours compared to magnetic cell sorting type (eg. FACS only enable one cell to pass through the laser focus at a time) (Catherine, Brian T and Timothy C 2010).  Requires debulking process first (Catherine, Brian T and Timothy C 2010).  Limited number of fluorophore-conjugated antibody reagent for clinical processing (Catherine, Brian T and Timothy C 2010).  Direct and indirect method for Immunofluorescence are correlated to each other to give a better results (Abcam.com 2016).  Challenging to detect low abundance proteins even with indirect methods.

Editor's Notes

  1. Fluorescence-Activated Cell Sorting is a flow cytometer that enables a mixture of different cells to be sorted one by one into one or more containers according to their specific light scattering and fluorescent characteristics. Here are the ways to display the data. First method is best to display the data if no cells are labeled both colors. For the second methods, we cant to count for each spot, just can see the relative density. Top right: no cells labelled both colors, bottom left: cells that unlabelled.
  2. Cells(by tagging to an antibody linked to fluorescent dye) are passed into the middle of a fast flowing liquid stream to ensure that they are well separated. Vibration is applied to break the stream up into droplets in such a way one cell is presented per drop. Laser light excites the dye which emits a color of light The colored light is detected by a photomultiplier tube or a light detector An electrical charging ring is positioned An electrical charge is applied to the stream and the newly formed drop will form with charge Charged drop will be then deflected left or right by charged electrodes and into waiting sample tube
  3. Deficiency in γδ T cells aggravates colitis in animal models suggesting that γδ T cells have regulatory properties. Therefore, proliferation, suppression and cytokine secretion of human γδ T cells were determined in vitro.
  4. When sorting is used for the selection of over-producing cells, there are three main objectives: to reduce the work load necessary to find over-producers, (2) to reduce the time required and (3) to find the cells with the highest possible production rates, ideally combined with other advantageous properties Immunofluorescence based screening methods for intracellular and secreted proteins. A: Screening for secreted proteins, developed for mammalian cells. A product specific catching antibody is immobilized on the cell surface, which binds an amount of product proportional to the secretion rate. After staining with a product specific antibody and a secondary antibody, cells with high secretion rate can be sorted and subcloned. B: Screening system for intracellular, plasmid encoded proteins, developed for E. coli. Cells are fixed with ethanol and stained with a product specific antibody and a secondary antibody After sorting, plasmids are isolated and retransformed into the host strain.
