Size and fluorescence calibrated imaging flow cytometry: From arbitrary to standard units.

Imaging flow cytometry (IFCM) is a technique that can detect, size, and phenotype extracellular vesicles (EVs) at high throughput (thousands/minute) in complex biofluids without prior EV isolation. However, the generated signals are expressed in arbitrary units, which hinders data interpretation and comparison of measurement results between instruments and institutes. While fluorescence calibration can be readily achieved, calibration of side scatter (SSC) signals presents an ongoing challenge for IFCM. Here, we present an approach to relate the SSC signals to particle size for IFCM, and perform a comparability study between three different IFCMs using a plasma EV test sample (PEVTES). SSC signals for different sizes of polystyrene (PS) and hollow organosilica beads (HOBs) were acquired with a 405 nm 120 mW laser without a notch filter before detection. Mie theory was applied to relate scatter signals to particle size. Fluorescence calibration was accomplished with 2 μm phycoerythrin (PE) and allophycocyanin (APC) MESF beads. Size and fluorescence calibration was performed for three IFCMs in two laboratories. CD235a-PE and CD61-APC stained PEVTES were used as EV-containing samples. EV concentrations were compared between instruments within a size range of 100-1000 nm and a fluorescence intensity range of 3-10,000 MESF. 81 nm PS beads could be readily discerned from background based on their SSC signals. Fitting of the obtained PS bead SSC signals with Mie theory resulted in a coefficient of determination >0.99 between theory and data for all three IFCMs. 216 nm HOBs were detected with all instruments, and confirmed the sensitivity to detect EVs by SSC. The lower limit of detection regarding EV-size for this study was determined to be ~100 nm for all instruments. Size and fluorescence calibration of IFCM data increased cross-instrument data comparability with the coefficient of variation decreasing from 33% to 21%. Here we demonstrate - for the first time - scatter calibration of an IFCM using the 405 nm laser. The quality of the scatter-to-diameter relation and scatter sensitivity of the IFCMs are similar to the most sensitive commercially available flow cytometers. This development will support the reliability of EV research with IFCM by providing robust standardization and reproducibility, which are pre-requisites for understanding the biological significance of EVs.

OMIP-105: A 30-color full-spectrum flow cytometry panel to characterize the immune cell landscape in spleen and tumor within a syngeneic MC-38 murine colon carcinoma model.

This panel was designed to characterize the immune cell landscape in the mouse tumor microenvironment as well as mouse lymphoid tissues (e.g., spleen). As an example, using the MC-38 mouse syngeneic tumor model, we demonstrated that we could measure the frequency and characterize the functional status of CD4 T cells, CD8 T cells, regulatory T cells, NK cells, B cells, macrophages, granulocytes, monocytes, and dendritic cells. This panel is especially useful for understanding the immune landscape in "cold" preclinical tumor models with very low immune cell infiltration and for investigating how therapeutic treatments may modulate the immune landscape.

Single-detector multiplex imaging flow cytometry for cancer cell classification with deep learning.

Imaging flow cytometry, which combines the advantages of flow cytometry and microscopy, has emerged as a powerful tool for cell analysis in various biomedical fields such as cancer detection. In this study, we develop multiplex imaging flow cytometry (mIFC) by employing a spatial wavelength division multiplexing technique. Our mIFC can simultaneously obtain brightfield and multi-color fluorescence images of individual cells in flow, which are excited by a metal halide lamp and measured by a single detector. Statistical analysis results of multiplex imaging experiments with resolution test lens, magnification test lens, and fluorescent microspheres validate the operation of the mIFC with good imaging channel consistency and micron-scale differentiation capabilities. A deep learning method is designed for multiplex image processing that consists of three deep learning networks (U-net, very deep super resolution, and visual geometry group 19). It is demonstrated that the cluster of differentiation 24 (CD24) imaging channel is more sensitive than the brightfield, nucleus, or cancer antigen 125 (CA125) imaging channel in classifying the three types of ovarian cell lines (IOSE80 normal cell, A2780, and OVCAR3 cancer cells). An average accuracy rate of 97.1% is achieved for the classification of these three types of cells by deep learning analysis when all four imaging channels are considered. Our single-detector mIFC is promising for the development of future imaging flow cytometers and for the automatic single-cell analysis with deep learning in various biomedical fields.
