Download or read book Flow Cytometry written by Marion G. Macey and published by Blackwell Science Incorporated. This book was released on 1994 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flow cytometers were developed in the early 1960s and used initially by research immunologists to sort and analyse cell subpopulations. The system analyses cells as they move in a liquid stream, through a laser beam, over an electronic sensing area. The light-scattering properties of the individual cells allow the identification of different cell types within a mixed population. Recent advances in technology, including the use of monoclonal antibodies, fluorescent dyes and powerful but cheap computers, mean that flow cytometry is now a routine part of clinical practice for haematologists and immunologists. The identification of cell subsets, leukaemia and various lymphomas is now commonplace. Cell cycle analysis and the measurement of DNA aberrations is now clinically feasible. The greater sensitivity of the new generations of bench-top flow cytometers has enabled the identification of bacteria from various sources, including water, sewage and body fluids and this has resulted in a dramatic increase in the use of these machines in microbiology. The editor has spent several years establishing the appropriate techniques for evaluating the ex vivo expression of antigens on leukocytes and has assembled a distinguished team of international contributors who provide practical advice on the application, scope and limitations of flow cytometry. This book will be of use to research workers, to clinical laboratory scientists and to clinicians who require an introduction and authoritative reference to flow cytometry, with an emphasis on clinical application. The distinguished team of contributors includes Richard Camplejohn, Leon Terstappen, Scott Cram and Terry Hoy, who have been at the forefront of flow cytometry development.

Download or read book Flow Cytometry for Biotechnology written by Larry A. Sklar and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2005-09-02 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flow cytometry is a sensitive and quantitative platform for the measurement of particle fluorescence. In flow cytometry, the particles in a sample flow in single file through a focused laser beam at rates of hundreds to thousands of particles per second. During the time each particle is in the laser beam, on the order of ten microseconds, one or more fluorescent dyes associated with that particle are excited. The fluorescence emitted from each particle is collected through a microscope objective, spectrally filtered, and detected with photomultiplier tubes. Flow cytometry is uniquely capable of the precise and quantitative molecular analysis of genomic sequence information, interactions between purified biomolecules and cellular function. Combined with automated sample handling for increased sample throughput, these features make flow cytometry a versatile platform with applications at many stages of drug discovery. Traditionally, the particles studied are cells, especially blood cells; flow cytometry is used extensively in immunology. This volume shows how flow cytometry is integrated into modern biotechnology, dealing with issues of throughput, content, sensitivity, and high throughput informatics with applications in genomics, proteomics and protein-protein interactions, drug discovery, vaccine development, plant and reproductive biology, pharmacology and toxicology, cell-cell interactions and protein engineering.
