ABSTRACT:
A method for calibrating a flow cytometer or fluorescence microscope in terms of number of binding antibodies as a function of fluorescence intensity value measured on the flow cytometer or fluorescence microscope, and subsequent measuring of a sample to which the antibodies are bindable. Also disclosed is a microbead calibration kit for carrying out the calibration method of the invention. The disclosed calibration methodology provides a direct relationship between instrument response and numbers of binding antibodies, independent of the fluorochrome employed to label the samples being measured. The method has utility in monitoring the status of an antigenic cellular condition in which the number of antibodies binding to successively obtained cellular samples is determined, to establish the progressionary character of the antigenic cellular condition, in a host from which the cellular samples are taken.
