Technical challenges of intracellular flow cytometry-based assays as a functional complement to diagnosis of signaling defects of inborn errors of immunity: PI3K pathway as a case of study
We highlight the importance of B cell stimulation through B cell receptor signaling, which is highly recommended, especially for samples that would be processed more than 24 hours after blood extraction. Also, having a defined experimental procedure is important, including the cytometer setup, which allows cytometer reproducibility for a period of time, enabling the comparison of a sample at different times.
