Hi,
I'm totally new to the world of flow cytometry data analysis and am looking for some help. I have 4 cell lines that were analyzed by high throughput screen flow cytometry for over 300 CD and other surface molecules. I received an excel file with MFI and %gate+ for each molecule for each cell line. I want to compared the level of expression between the cell lines. My questions are:
1) How do I normalized the data (I do not have a control or anything)
2) Do I use MFI or %gate+ for the anaylsis. For either, what is a good cut-off value (i.e. what is background level?)
3) How do I normalize the data?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
