Image-based Flow Cytometry Technique to Evaluate Changes in Granulocyte Function In Vitro
Granulocytes play a key role in the body's innate immune response to bacterial and viral infections. While methods exist to measure granulocyte function, in general these are limited in terms of the information they can provide. For example, most existing assays merely provide a percentage of how many granulocytes are activated following a single, fixed length incubation. Complicating matters, ...
متن کاملDetection of defective granulocyte function with flow cytometry in newborn infants.
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) production by phagocytic leukocytes is a critical factor in immunity against microorganisms. Human neonates are susceptible to overwhelming infections, for which abnormal granulocyte function may play an important role. In this study, we aimed to identify a convenient and quantitative method to measure ROS production by human granulocytes after cellular activation....
متن کاملDeformability-based flow cytometry.
BACKGROUND Elasticity of cells is determined by their cytoskeleton. Changes in cellular function are reflected in the amount of cytoskeletal proteins and their associated networks. Drastic examples are diseases such as cancer, in which the altered cytoskeleton is even diagnostic. This connection between cellular function and cytoskeletal mechanical properties suggests using the deformability of...
متن کاملDielectrophoresis Based Micro Flow Cytometry.
We report a simplified flow cytometer design that makes use of negative dielectrophoresis (DEP) for particle focusing and integrated optical and AC impedance detectors to enable an inexpensive, compact and robust system for cell and particle characterization. This straightforward, modular design could be applied as a standalone instrument or as a particle detector in an integrated micro total a...
متن کاملImpedance Flow Cytometry: A Novel Technique in Pollen Analysis
INTRODUCTION An efficient and reliable method to estimate plant cell viability, especially of pollen, is important for plant breeding research and plant production processes. Pollen quality is determined by classical methods, like staining techniques or in vitro pollen germination, each having disadvantages with respect to reliability, analysis speed, and species dependency. Analysing single ce...
