A streamlined spectral cytometry method for FAD and NADH autofluorescence analysis in immunometabolic studies
Abstract
Abstract/SummaryWe present a streamlined protocol that enables the characterization of the metabolic state of immune cell populations through their distinct NADH/FAD autofluorescence fingerprints using a FACSymphony A5 spectral cytometer. We demonstrate the utility of this approach by profiling the metabolic status of diverse splenic B-cell subsets and assessing metabolic changes associated with their activation state.
