Quantification of circulating endothelial cells by flow cytometry.
To the Editors: We read with great interest the article by Mancuso et al. (1) in the January edition of Clinical Cancer Research. In this article, the authors describe the validation of a novel multicolor flow cytometrical assay that allows the quantification of both circulating endothelial cells (CEC) and circulating endothelial progenitor cells (CEP), considered promising monitoring tools for...
متن کاملEnrichment of Circulating Endothelial Cells by CD34 Microbeads Followed by Enumeration Using Flow Cytometry.
Background Circulating endothelial cells (CECs) are a potential biomarker of angiogenesis. CECs increase in numbers after vessel injury. Higher CEC numbers are reported in cancer patients. Most methods for CEC detection and enumeration rely on flow cytometry (FCM); however, there is no agreement on CEC phenotype and the detection method to be used. This leads to uncertainty about the clinical a...
متن کاملQuantification of bacterial invasion into adherent cells by flow cytometry.
Quantification of invasive, intracellular bacteria is critical in many areas of cellular microbiology and immunology. We describe a novel and fast approach to determine invasion of bacterial pathogens in adherent cell types such as epithelial cells or fibroblasts based on flow cytometry. Using the CEACAM-mediated uptake of Opa-expressing Neisseria gonorrhoeae as a well-characterized model of ba...
متن کاملInnovative Flow Cytometry Allows Accurate Identification of Rare Circulating Cells Involved in Endothelial Dysfunction
INTRODUCTION Although rare, circulating endothelial and progenitor cells could be considered as markers of endothelial damage and repair potential, possibly predicting the severity of cardiovascular manifestations. A number of studies highlighted the role of these cells in age-related diseases, including those characterized by ectopic calcification. Nevertheless, their use in clinical practice ...
متن کاملEvaluation of DNA-content of Peritoneal Lavage Cells by Flow Cytometry in Patients with Gasteric Cancer
Background & Aims: Gastric cancer is the second common cancer in Iran and it has unfortunately no diagnostic signs in early stages. Considering the role of genetic and environmental factors in the development of gastric cancer, this study aimed at evaluating DNA-content of stomach cells in patients with gastric cancer in order to find a reliable index for prediction of disease prognosis and pro...
