Abstract

A sensitive and reproducible flow cytometric assay was developed for the analysis of Fcγ and C3b(i) receptors on HSV-infected cells. The method is based on a rosette technique using fluorochrome-labeled erythrocytes sensitized with IgG or C3b(i). A comparison of flow cytometric and microscopic quantitation demonstrated that the binding of EIgG, EC3b(i) to HSV-infected cells were correlated. Flow cytometric analysis provides the opportunity to study simultaneously the distribution of E per HSV-infected cell and the total binding of E to the whole population of HSV-infected cells. Receptor activity and HSV glycoprotein cell surface expression were shown to be correlated in a linear fashion. The assay could be applied to other FcγR- and C3b(i)R-bearing cells.
