Figure 1 Single-platform CD34 ISHAGE-based gating strategy. Viable cells were analyzed using a gate based on 7AAD exclusion. A gate was then drawn on CD45+ cells (R1) to exclude noncellular debris and unlysed red cells. A gate was then drawn to capture a discrete cluster of CD34+ cells with low side scatter (R2). These cells were further refined using a homogenous cluster based on intermediate CD45+ cell expression (R3), and the CD34+ HPCs (R4) were finally defined using intermediate forward scatter (final CD34+ HPCs compared with lymphoid population follicular stem cells). The number of events in this R4 gate were compared with the number of events counted in the singlet bead gate (R7) to derive the reported CD34+ cell count.
