The membrane potentials of individual cells could be estimated by flow cytometric quantitation of the cells'' uptake of the fluorescent lipophilic cationic dye 3,3''-dihexyloxacarbocyanine iodide. Human lymphocytes separated from peripheral blood on Hypaque-Ficoll gradients were uniformly depolarized by gramicidin and hyperpolarized by valinomycin. Concanavalin A and phytohemagglutinin depolarized only a fraction of the lymphocytes. The flow cytometric technique allowed precise detection of heterogeneous membrane potential responses to stimuli such as lectins; it could also provide a basis for sorting cells that respond differently to a given stimulus.
