ABSTRACT
Flow cytometry allows the visualization of physical, functional, and/or biological properties of cells including antigens, cytokines, size, and complexity. With increasingly large flow cytometry panels able to analyze up to 50 parameters, there is a need to standardize flow cytometry protocols to achieve high-quality data that can be input into analysis algorithms. Without this clean data, algorithms may incorrectly categorize the cell populations present in the samples. In this protocol, we outline a comprehensive methodology to prepare samples for polychromatic flow cytometry. The use of multiple washing steps and rigorous controls creates high-quality data with good separation between cell populations. Experimental data acquired using this protocol can be analyzed via computational algorithms that perform end-to-end analysis. © 2020 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
