摘要:
A method of determining cell cycle phase data for cells comprising at least one luminescent reporter capable of emitting radiation, the at least one luminescent reporter comprising a first luminescent reporter which is capable of being indicative of at least one cell cycle phase, said method comprising: storing classification information for classifying individual cells into different cell cycle phases using an automated classification process; receiving image data created by detecting radiation emitted by said at least one luminescent reporter; analyzing said image data to identify object areas in the image data which correspond to individual cells; analyzing said image data, on the basis of said identified object areas, to determine, for a selected cell, one or more measurements including a measurement of a parameter relating to at least a cytoplasmic component of the cell; and applying said classification information to said measurements to classify the selected cell into a selected one of a plurality of sub-populations of cells, each sub-population having cells in a different cell cycle phase.
摘要:
A method of classifying cells into subpopulations using cell classifying data is described. The method comprises receiving and analyzing image data to identify object areas in the image data to determine, for at least one selected first cell, one or more measurements. A first parameter set is derived from the measurements for the first cell, the first parameter set comprising at least one of said one or more measurements. The first set of cells are classified into subpopulations, and identified to produce first identifying data. Cell classifying data for use in classifying a second set of cells into subpopulations is derived from the first parameter set and the first identifying data. A second set of cells is classified into subpopulations on the basis of one or more measurements taken for cells in the second set of cells, by use of the cell classifying data. The parameter sets of cells may be represented as vectors in an n-dimensional space.
