A cell analysis method for analyzing, using a flow cytometer, cells obtained from a tissue specimen which is aldehyde-fixed and embedded in a water-insoluble embedding medium. The method comprises: (a) removing embedding medium from a sample obtained from the tissue specimen which is aldehyde-fixed and embedded in the water-insoluble embedding medium, thereby obtaining the sample comprising the tissue from which the embedding medium is removed; (b) heating the sample obtained from step (a) in the presence of a divalent carboxylic acid compound to obtain a heat-treated sample comprising the tissue; (c) contacting the heat-treated sample from step (b) with an enzyme having a cell dispersion activity to separate the sample into individual cells, thereby obtaining the sample comprising the individual cells dispersed in a solvent; (d) subjecting the separated cells from step (c) to flow cytometry to obtain optical information ; and (e) analyzing the cells based on the optical information obtained in the step (d).
                            一种
细胞分析方法,用于使用流式细胞仪分析从醛固定并包埋在不溶于
水的包埋介质中的组织样本中获得的细胞。该方法包括(a) 从经过醛固定并包埋在不溶于
水的包埋介质中的组织样本中移除包埋介质,从而获得包含被移除包埋介质的组织的样本; (b) 在二价
羧酸化合物存在下加热从步骤(a)中获得的样本,以获得包含组织的热处理样本;(c) 将来自步骤(b)的热处理样品与具有细胞分散活性的酶接触,将样品分离成单个细胞,从而获得由分散在溶剂中的单个细胞组成的样品; (d) 将来自步骤(c)的分离细胞进行流式细胞术,以获得光学信息;以及 (e) 根据在步骤(d)中获得的光学信息对细胞进行分析。
