Nuclear translocation of NF-κB initiates transcription of numerous genes, many of which are
critical to host defense. Fluorescent image-based methods that quantify this event have
historically utilized adherent cells with large cytoplasm-to-nuclear area ratios. However,
many immunologically relevant cells are naturally non-adherent and have small cytoplasm-
to-nuclear area ratios. Using the ImageStream® imaging flow cytometer, we have developed
a novel method that measures nuclear translocation in large populations using cross …
