This unit presents protocols for measuring intracellular phosphoepitopes by flow cytometry for biochemical investigations in both human and murine primary cells as well as in cell lines. Conventional methods that require cellular lysis cannot discriminate between proteins from different cellular subsets. Intracellular detection of phosphorylated and nonphosphorylated signaling molecules, on the other hand, has recently exposed the heterogeneity that can be observed upon signal transduction. Although staining methodologies for cytokines and cell cycle antigens have been appreciated for years, detection of phosphorylated molecules presents several new challenges, including generation of reagents and details of the staining technique. As these techniques are adapted to new applications, the protocols continue to be refined. This unit describes signal amplification of intracellular signals upon detergent-based permeabilizations, staining protocol for adherent cells, methodology for whole-blood staining, and multiparameter staining procedures for surface and intracellular antigens.

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.

D015398 Signal Transduction The intracellular transfer of information (biological activation/inhibition) through a signal pathway. In each signal transduction system, an activation/inhibition signal from a biologically active molecule (hormone, neurotransmitter) is mediated via the coupling of a receptor/enzyme to a second messenger system or to an ion channel. Signal transduction plays an important role in activating cellular functions, cell differentiation, and cell proliferation. Examples of signal transduction systems are the GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID-postsynaptic receptor-calcium ion channel system, the receptor-mediated T-cell activation pathway, and the receptor-mediated activation of phospholipases. Those coupled to membrane depolarization or intracellular release of calcium include the receptor-mediated activation of cytotoxic functions in granulocytes and the synaptic potentiation of protein kinase activation. Some signal transduction pathways may be part of larger signal transduction pathways; for example, protein kinase activation is part of the platelet activation signal pathway.
