Flow cytometric assessment of endothelial and platelet microparticles in preeclampsia and their relation to disease severity and Doppler parameters

Figures & data

Figure 1. Histograms of the negative control samples for FITC- (A) and PE- (B) labeled isotypic antibodies. B-line was drawn to exclude non-specific signals released by FITC negative control. C-line was drawn to exclude non-specific signals released by PE negative control. (C) shows that all particles were presented in quadrant 3 (negative signals for both FITC- and PE-labeled isotypic antibodies.

Figure 2. Histograms of flow cytometry show a case positive for both CD31 (A) and CD42b (B). (C) represents a four-quadrant histogram to detect co-expression of both markers (quadrant 2), i.e. PMP, while quadrant 1 represents MPs positive only for CD31, i.e. EMPs.
