流式细胞分析必须要使用同型对照吗?

不一定。许多用户使用未染色细胞结合FMO对照,来确定他们的阳性群体。

如果我无法在流式细胞实验中找到合适的同型对照,会造成哪种后果?

这些同型对照并不是非特异性结合的最适宜的对照,同型对照的使用正渐渐的离开流式细胞领域。作为替代,可使用未染色细胞确定阴性群体,使用单独染色对照设置补偿,使用减一染色(FMO)对照设置区域和门限。

您可能需要考虑是否有必要使用同型对照。以下是您可能感兴趣的部分参考文献:

Is an isotype control a must for flow cytometry analysis?

No. Many users are using unstained cells in combination with FMO controls to identify their positive populations.

What if I can't find the right isotype control for flow cytomtery?

The flow cytometry field is moving away from using isotype controls as they are not necessarily the most appropriate way to control for non-specific binding. Instead, they are using unstained cells to define the negative population, single stained controls to set compensation, and flow minus one (FMO) controls to set regions and gates.

You may want to consider whether using an isotype control is something you need to do. Here are some references you might want to look at:
