Flow cytometry (FCM) software packages from R/Bioconductor, such as flowCore and flowViz, serve as an open platform for development of new analysis tools and methods. We created plateCore, a new package that extends the functionality in these core packages to enable automated negative control-based gating and make the processing and analysis of plate-based data sets from high-throughput FCM screening experiments easier. plateCore was used to analyze data from a BD FACS CAP screening experiment where five Peripheral Blood Mononucleocyte Cell (PBMC) samples were assayed for 189 different human cell surface markers. This same data set was also manually analyzed by a cytometry expert using the FlowJo data analysis software package (TreeStar, USA). We show that the expression values for markers characterized using the automated approach in plateCore are in good agreement with those from FlowJo, and that using plateCore allows for more reproducible analyses of FCM screening data.

Advancements in flow cytometers with capability to measure 15 or more parameters have enabled us to characterize cell populations at unprecedented levels of detail. Beyond discovery research, there is now a growing demand to dive deeper into evaluating the immune response in clinical trials for immune modulating compounds. However, for high-volume, complex flow cytometry data generated in clinical trials, conventional manual gating remains the standard of practice. Traditional manual gating is resource intense and becomes a bottleneck and an impractical method to complete high volumes of flow cytometry data analysis. Current efforts to automate “manual gating” have shown that computational algorithms can facilitate the analysis of daunting multi-parameter data; however, a greater degree of precision in comparison with traditional manual gating is needed for wide-scale adoption of automated gating methods. In an effort to more closely follow the manual gating process, our automated gating pipeline was created to include negative controls (Fluorescence Minus One [FMO]) to enhance the reliability of gate placement. We demonstrate that use of an automated pipeline, heavily relying on FMO controls for population discrimination, can analyze multi-parameter, large-scale clinical datasets with comparable precision and accuracy to traditional manual gating.

Methods and techniques used to detect apoptosis have benefited from advances in technologies such as flow cytometry. With a large arsenal of lasers, fluorescent labels, and readily accessible biological targets, it is possible to detect multiple targets with unique combinations of fluorescent spectral signatures from a single sample. Traditional flow cytometry has been limited as a screening tool as the sample throughput has been low, whereas the data analysis and generation of screening relevant results have been complex. The HTFC Screening System running ForeCyt software is an instrument platform designed to perform high-throughput, multiplexed screening with seamless transformation of flow cytometry data into screening hits. We report the results of a screen that simultaneously quantified caspase 3/7 activation, annexin V binding, cell viability, and mitochondrial integrity. Assay performance over 5 days demonstrated robustness, reliability, and performance of the assay. This system is high throughput in that a 384-well plate can be read and fully analyzed within 30 min and is sensitive with an assay window of at least 10-fold for all parameters and a Z′ factor of ≥0.75 for all endpoints and time points. From a screen of 231 compounds, 11 representative toxicity profiles highlighting differential activation of apoptotic pathways were identified.

Flow cytometry is commonly used to evaluate the performance of engineered bacteria. With increasing use of high-throughput experimental methods, there is a need for automated analysis methods for flow cytometry data. Here, we describe FlowGateNIST, a Python package for automated analysis of bacterial flow cytometry data. The main components of FlowGateNIST perform automatic gating to differentiate between cells and background events and then between singlet and multiplet events. FlowGateNIST also includes a method for automatic calibration of fluorescence signals using fluorescence calibration beads. FlowGateNIST is open source and freely available with tutorials and example data to facilitate adoption by users with minimal programming experience.
