Rapid 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...
متن کاملRapid flow cytometry-based assay for the evaluation of γδ T cell-mediated cytotoxicity
The effector function of natural killer, lymphokine--activated killer cells and T lymphocytes is commonly evaluated by radioactive chromium‑release cytotoxicity assays. In addition to this indirect method, fluorescence assays have been described for the assessment of in vitro cell‑mediated cytotoxicity. In the present study, target cells were stained with 5‑(and‑6)‑carboxyfluorescein diacetate ...
متن کاملCirculating Tumor Cell Detection and Capture by Photoacoustic Flow Cytometry in Vivo and ex Vivo
Despite progress in detecting circulating tumor cells (CTCs), existing assays still have low sensitivity (1-10 CTC/mL) due to the small volume of blood samples (5-10 mL). Consequently, they can miss up to 103-104 CTCs, resulting in the development of barely treatable metastasis. Here we analyze a new concept of in vivo CTC detection with enhanced sensitivity (up to 102-103 times) by the examina...
متن کاملField-Based Flow Cytometry for Ex Vivo Characterization of Plasmodium vivax and P. falciparum Antimalarial Sensitivity
Ex vivo antimalarial sensitivity testing in human malaria parasites has largely depended on microscopic determination of schizont maturation. While this microscopic method is sensitive, it suffers from poor precision and is laborious. The recent development of portable, low-cost cytometers has allowed us to develop and validate a simple, field-optimized protocol using SYBR green and dihydroethi...
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...
