Outline of Final Research Achievements

We tried to establish "Multidimensional flow cytometric analysis method" which could analyze multi parameters at the same time on a cell-by-cell basis by using flow cytometer and verify that it could be a tool for analyzing behavior of signaling molecules. By using the system, we analyzed gene expression and expression of phosphorylated protein in melanoma cell line at single cell level at the same time by examining various conditions of sample preparation. We also created a three-dimensional graph that simultaneously displays three or more parameters.
