Abstract
Advances in cytometry have led to increases in the number of cellular markers that are routinely measured. The resulting complexity of the data has prompted a shift from manual to automated analysis methods. Currently, numerous unsupervised methods are available to cluster cells based on marker expression values. However, phenotyping the resulting clusters is typically not part of the automated process. Manually identifying both marker definitions (e.g. CD4+, CCR7+, CD45RA+, CD19-) and descriptive cell type names (e.g. naïve CD4+ T cells) based on marker expression values can be time-consuming, subjective, and error-prone. In this work we propose an algorithm that addresses these problems through the creation of an automated tool, CytoPheno, that assigns marker definitions and cell type names to unidentified clusters. First, post-clustered expression data undergoes per-marker calculations to assign markers as positive or negative. Next, marker names undergo a standardization process to match to Protein Ontology identifier terms. Finally, marker descriptions are matched to cell type names within the Cell Ontology. Each part of the tool was tested with benchmark data to demonstrate performance. Additionally, the tool is encompassed in a graphical user interface (R Shiny) to increase user accessibility and interpretability. Overall, CytoPheno can aid researchers in timely and unbiased phenotyping of post-clustered cytometry data.
