Vaccine applications of flow cytometry

flow cytometry applications in the study of immunological lung disorders.

the use of flow cytometry in the clinical laboratory has grown substantially in the past decade. flow cytometric analysis provides a rapid qualitative and quantitative description of multiple characteristics of individual cells. for example, it is possible to detect the cell size and granularity, aspects of dna and rna content and the presence of cell surface and nuclear markers which are used ...

Applications of Quantum Dots in Flow Cytometry

Attributes and applications of flow cytometry.

Flow cytometry (FCM) permits high speed measurement of fluorescence from individual cells flowing in a liquid medium. Cells stained with fluorescent dyes that bind specifically and proportionally to desoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) emit fluorescence that reflects their DNA content. Since neoplastic cells often contain abnormal amounts of DNA, FCM can be used as a rapid means to detect neoplasia. Fl...

Applications of Flow Cytometry to Clinical Microbiology

Microbiology in general and clinical microbiology in particular have witnessed important changes during the last few years. Traditional methods of bacteriology and mycology require the isolation of the organism prior to identification and other possible testing. In most cases, culture results are available in 48 to 72 h. Virus isolation in cell cultures and detection of specific antibodies have...

Applications of flow cytometry to clinical microbiology.

Classical microbiology techniques are relatively slow in comparison to other analytical techniques, in many cases due to the need to culture the microorganisms. Furthermore, classical approaches are difficult with unculturable microorganisms. More recently, the emergence of molecular biology techniques, particularly those on antibodies and nucleic acid probes combined with amplification techniq...
