A proliferation plot can be created just like any other plot in FCS Express, andregular histogramscan easily be changed to a proliferation plot.

 

In the course of this section we will:

 

Insert a new proliferation plot

 

Change a histogram to a proliferation plot

 

 

1.Open the "Proliferation Tutorial Fitting Proliferation Cells Section.fey" layout in the Proliferation Tutorial folder within the Tutorial Sample Data folder.
2.Click on theProliferation Datapage tab.
3.Click on theInsert Tab→1D Plots→Proliferationbutton (Fig.T20.1).

4.Click below the current proliferation plot to insert a new proliferation plot.The plot will look like figure T20.2a and we must change the X Axis parameter and gate to display the data correctly.

5.Choose theFormattab from the ribbon→Plot Options→Overlays(Fig.T20.3,number1).

6.Change theX ParametertoCellTrace Violet-H(Fig.T20.3,number2).
7.Change theGatetoSytox Live Cells Gate(Fig.T20.3,number3).
8.ClickOK(Fig.T20.3, mouse pointer).

The proliferation plot for the sample is now present on the page and has been formatted to display the correct parameters and gates (Figure T20.2b).

We will now change the histogram on the Gating page to a proliferation plot.

9.Click on theGatingpage tab at the bottom of the program to make theGatingpage visible.
10.Click on the histogram labeled Proliferation Histogram in the title, located towards the bottom of the Gating page, to select it.
11.Click on theFormattab→Change→Change Plot Typebutton.
12.SelectProliferationfrom the drop down menu (Figure T20.4).

You will now notice that the histogram has been changed to a proliferation plot that is ready for analysis.

 

The Inserting Proliferation Plots section is now complete.Please close the layout and do not save the changes before proceeding to the next section.

 

In thenext sectionwe will learn how to further modify the default fit for use with the data.
