Androgen receptor (AR) plays an important role in growth and hormonal therapy of human prostate tumors. Immunohistochemical analysis of AR expression, a nonquantitative technique, is currently used for screening of receptor expression in prostate tissues. The present report describes a laser flow cytometric method for monitoring AR expression in human cell lines and in archival formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded prostate tissues and tumors. Multiparametric flow analysis can be used for simultaneous detection of other cellular markers (e.g., DNA aneuploidy), and by gated analysis, AR expression in subpopulations of a tumor can be quantitatively determined.

D004273 DNA, Neoplasm DNA present in neoplastic tissue. Neoplasm DNA
D005434 Flow Cytometry Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.
