Simultaneous Measurement of Changes in Neutrophil Granulocyte Membrane Potential, Intracellular pH, and Cell Size by Multiparametric Flow Cytometry

Neutrophils provide rapid and efficient defense mechanisms against invading pathogens. Upon stimulation with proinflammatory mediators, including complement factors and bacterial peptides, neutrophils respond with changes in their membrane potential, intracellular pH, and cellular size. This study p...

description Neutrophils provide rapid and efficient defense mechanisms against invading pathogens. Upon stimulation with proinflammatory mediators, including complement factors and bacterial peptides, neutrophils respond with changes in their membrane potential, intracellular pH, and cellular size. This study provides an approach to quantify these important changes simultaneously using multiparametric flow cytometry, thereby revealing a typical sequence of neutrophil activation consisting of depolarization, alkalization, and increase in cellular size. Additionally, the time resolution of the flow cytometric measurement is improved in order to allow changes that occur within seconds to be monitored, and thus to enhance the kinetic analysis of the neutrophil response. The method is appropriate for the reliable semiquantitative detection of small variations with respect to an increase, no change, and decrease in those parameters as demonstrated by the screening of various proinflammatory mediators.
