    Can you analyze nuclear translocation of NFkB with a manual fluorescence microscope?

    • No, because you have to have tens of thousands of cells per sample

    • Yes, because you can reuse your sample

    • Yes, but results can be questionable due to subjective analysis of a small number of cells per sample, especially for rare events

    • No, western blot analysis is the only accepted method

    Correct Answer
    A. Yes, but results can be questionable due to subjective analysis of a small number of cells per sample, especially for rare events
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "yes, but results can be questionable due to subjective analysis of a small number of cells per sample, especially for rare events." This is because while it is possible to analyze nuclear translocation of NFkB with a manual fluorescence microscope, the results may not be entirely reliable due to the subjective analysis of a small number of cells per sample. This is particularly true for rare events, where the limited number of cells observed may not accurately represent the overall population.

    Can you analyze nuclear translocation of NFkB with a flow cytometer? 

    • Yes, but it’s nice to have the pictures

    • Yes, so long as you use a live/dead nuclear dye

    • Yes, but only if you catch the correct time course

    • No, there is not really a discernible difference in FSC, SSC, or fluorescence intensity

    • No, SSC is too high to get an accurate read-out

    Correct Answer
    A. No, there is not really a discernible difference in FSC, SSC, or fluorescence intensity
    Explanation
    The correct answer states that it is not possible to analyze nuclear translocation of NFkB with a flow cytometer because there is not a discernible difference in forward scatter (FSC), side scatter (SSC), or fluorescence intensity. This suggests that the flow cytometer cannot accurately detect the changes in these parameters that would indicate nuclear translocation of NFkB. Therefore, an alternative method should be used to analyze nuclear translocation.

    Primary reason(s) for approaching Microscopists with Amnis technology:

    • Superior resolution

    • Pseudocolor representation of images

    • Statistical power ensures that image-based analysis is representative of the sample

    • The ability to stitch images together

    Correct Answer
    A. Statistical power ensures that image-based analysis is representative of the sample
    Explanation
    Approaching Microscopists with Amnis technology is primarily done because of its statistical power, which ensures that the image-based analysis is representative of the sample. This means that the technology is able to provide accurate and reliable results based on the images captured, allowing for a more comprehensive understanding of the sample being analyzed. The other options mentioned, such as superior resolution, pseudocolor representation, and the ability to stitch images together, may also be beneficial features of Amnis technology, but the main reason for approaching Microscopists is the statistical power it offers.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Can you analyze nuclear translocation of NFkB using western blotting? 

    • No, because you can't fractionate the cells into nuclear and cytoplasmic fractions

    • Yes, but you cannot get single cell translocation status or quantify translocation in subpopulations wihtin the sample

    • Yes, and it is the only method that works

    Correct Answer
    A. Yes, but you cannot get single cell translocation status or quantify translocation in subpopulations wihtin the sample
    Explanation
    The correct answer is yes, but you cannot get single cell translocation status or quantify translocation in subpopulations within the sample. This is because western blotting can provide information about the overall presence of NFkB in the nuclear fraction, but it cannot determine the translocation status of individual cells or quantify the extent of translocation in specific subpopulations within the sample.

    Rate this question:
