DATA ANALYSIS METHODS UTILIZING PHENOTYPIC PROPERTIES

摘要

The present invention provides a method of identifying sub-populations of cells in a cellular sample. Aspects of the method include categorizing cells of the cellular sample into at least a first and second population based on a first phenotypic property. The method may further include sub-categorizing each of the first and second population into sub-populations of cells based on a second and third phenotypic property, e.g., by using X detectable labels providing Y distinct signals, wherein X Y, to identify sub-populations of cells in the cellular sample.
