A flow cytometric assay for the combined measurement of cell-mediated cytotoxicity and conjugate formation has been developed. Cytolysis is detected by propidium iodide uptake. Target cells, effector cells and conjugates between targets and effectors are separated by post-culture immunophenotyping and their scatter profiles. Pre-assay staining of cells is thus not required. Each cluster of cells can be further examined at the single-eel level by simultaneously performed additional immunophenotyping. Two applications were established: the assessment of NK cell activity against K562 cells and the evaluation of LAK cell cytotoxicity against both K562 and Daudi cells. A comparison with the standard Cr-51 release assay for the detection of NK cytotoxicity showed that the two assays were strongly correlated, but the sensitivity of the flow cytometric assay was significantly higher.
