Notch Ligand Binding Assay Using Flow Cytometry
Notch signaling is an evolutionary conserved signaling pathway that plays an indispensable role during development, and in the maintenance of homeostatic processes, in a wide variety of tissues (Kopan, 2012; Hori et al., 2013). The multifaceted roles of Notch signaling are stringently regulated at different levels. One of the most important aspects of regulation is the binding of different Notc...
متن کاملA novel flow cytometry-based platelet aggregation assay.
The main function of platelets is to maintain normal hemostasis. Inefficient platelet production and/or defective platelet function results in bleeding disorders resulting from a wide range of genetic traits and acquired pathologies. Several platelet function tests have been developed for use in the clinic and in experimental animal models. In particular, platelet aggregation is routinely measu...
متن کاملEvaluation of T and B lymphocyte function in clinical practice using a flow cytometry based proliferation assay.
The golden standard for functional evaluation of immunodeficiencies is the incorporation of [(3)H]-thymidine in a proliferation assay stimulated with mitogens. Recently developed whole blood proliferation assays have the advantage of parallel lymphocyte lineage analysis and in addition provide a non-radioactive alternative. Here we evaluate the Flow-cytometric Assay for Specific Cell-mediated I...
متن کاملFlow cytometry-based assay for titrating dengue virus.
Plaque assays for titrating dengue virus (DENV) are time-consuming and not suitable for strains that do not plaque. Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) has been used to detect DENV-infected cells. Here we describe a FACS-based assay for titrating DENV. We determined that at 24 h postinfection, the number of infected cells detected by FACS represented the first round of infection and ther...
متن کاملRapid flow cytometry based cytotoxicity assay for evaluation of NK cell function.
Assessment of natural killer cells (NK-cell) cytotoxicity is used not only in research settings but is also important in diagnosis of various diseases. NK-cell cytotoxicity assays are based on measurement of target cells killed by cytotoxic cells analyzed either by chromium (51Cr) release assay or flow cytometry. Both these methods use peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) or pure NK-cell p...
