Reimagining Flow Cytometric Cell Sorting

Flow Cytometric Analysis and Sorting of Heterodera glycines Eggs.

A nondestructive technique was developed to characterize and separate eggs of soybean cyst nematode, Heterodera glycines, by developmental stage using flow cytometry. Eggs from cysts cultured on susceptible soybean roots were suspended in 0.1% xanthan gum or 59% sucrose and loaded into either a Coulter EPICS 752 or EPICS 753 flow cytometer. Eggs were analyzed and sorted according to forward ang...

Prospective isolation of multipotent pancreatic progenitors using flow-cytometric cell sorting.

During pancreatic development, neogenesis, and regeneration, stem cells might act as a central player to generate endocrine, acinar, and duct cells. Although these cells are well known as pancreatic stem cells (PSCs), indisputable proof of their existence has not been reported. Identification of phenotypic markers for PSCs leads to their prospective isolation and precise characterization to cle...

Flow Cytometric Measurement of Cell Organelle Autophagy

Identification and purification of classical Hodgkin cells from lymph nodes by flow cytometry and flow cytometric cell sorting.

We demonstrate the feasibility of using flow cytometry (FC) to identify the Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg (HRS) cells of classical Hodgkin lymphoma (CHL). Initial flow cytometric studies of the HRS cell line L1236 demonstrated potentially useful antigens for identifying HRS cells. L1236 cells spontaneously bound normal T cells, analogous to the T-cell rosetting of HRS cells seen in tissue sections...

Flow cytometric screening of cell-based libraries.

Flow cytometry is a powerful, high-throughput library screening tool in numerous applications including the isolation of bioactive molecules from synthetic combinatorial libraries, the identification of virulence genes in microorganisms, and the study and engineering of protein functions. Using flow cytometry, large libraries of protein mutants expressed in microorganisms can be screened quanti...
