DVS Sciences CyTOF mass cytometer.

Mass cytometry is a mass spectrometry technique based on inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry and time of flight mass spectrometry used for the determination of the properties of cells (cytometry).[1][2] In this approach, antibodies are conjugated with isotopically pure elements, and these antibodies are used to label cellular proteins. Cells are nebulized and sent through an argon plasma, which ionizes the metal-conjugated antibodies. The metal signals are then analyzed by a time-of-flight mass spectrometer. The approach overcomes limitations of spectral overlap that limit flow cytometry by utilizing discrete isotopes as a reporter system instead of traditional fluorophores which have broad emission spectra.

Commercialization

Tagging technology and instrument development occurred at the University of Toronto and DVS Sciences, Inc.[1][3] CyTOF (Cytometry by Time of Flight) was initially commercialized by DVS Sciences in 2009. In 2014, Fluidigm acquired DVS Sciences [4] to become a reference company in single cell technology.[5] The CyTOF, CyTOF2, and Helios (CyTOF3) have been commercialized up to now. Fluidigm sells a variety of commonly used metal-antibody conjugates, and an antibody conjugation kit.

Data analysis

Mass cytometry data is recorded in tables that list, for each cell, the signal detected per channel, which is proportional to the number of antibodies tagged with the corresponding channel's isotope bound to that cell. These data are formatted as FCS files, which are compatible with traditional flow cytometry software. Due to the high-dimensional nature of mass cytometry data, novel data analysis tools have been developed as well.[6]

Applications

Mass cytometry has research applications in medical fields including immunology, hematology, and oncology. It has been used in studies of hematopoiesis,[7] cell cycle,[8] cytokine expression, and differential signaling responses.

Development

High efficiency cell introduction system (HECIS) has been recently developed.[9]
