Short description
Laser flow cytometry is a powerful tool for rapid analysis of cells for marker expression, cell cycle position, proliferation and apoptosis. In most labs, training and resources are not available to teach methods of laser flow cytometry. There is need for a book that reviews these procedures, discusses the science behind them, and shows real examples to illustrate the usefulness of the methods. Bringing together world-class experts in pathology, biophysics, immunology, and stem cell research, this book is aimed at graduate students, practitioners in third-world countries, libraries and book repositories of universities and research institutions, and individual researchers
