Skin Project: Triple staining

The staining combination includes anti-Plakoglobin to identify all keratinocytes and Ki67 to analyse the proliferative activity of all cells. That means that Plakoglobin+/Ki67+ cells are proliferative keratinocytes and Plakoglobin-/Ki67+ cells are proliferative non-epithelial cells.

Tissue staining protocol: DAPI, Plakoglobin-Alexa488, Ki67-APC or IgG1-APC

Statistical results are displayed when cut-off or gates are set. The parameters include mean intensity, relative/absolute events, and percentage of reactive cells as well as sums. The quadrant statistics (UL-Upper Left, UR-Upper Right, LL-Lower Left, LR-Lower Right) are presented in tabular format.


Gating

Gate1

By the use of gates the analysis is restricted to subpopulations with defined phenotype.

Gate1

Cell subpopulations can be visualised in distinctive colours by gating.

Gate1

Gates can be used as input gates for new scattergrams.
