Figure 2

Flow cytometry of two fractions of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from our patient with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and a healthy control subject. Microparticles (MP), considered to have a size less than 1.0μm, were discriminated by their forward (FS) and side scatter (SS) characteristics. These microparticles were then analyzed for specific binding of lactadherin (detects phosphatidylserine (PS)) and antibodies towards CD42a (platelet microparticles), CD144 (endothelial microparticles) and CD45 (leukocyte microparticles) as presented in Table1. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) photographs (enlarged × 2000) of the same fractions of cerebrospinal fluid are inserted to the right of the microparticle gates and further described in Figure1.
