Flow cytometry: a versatile tool for all phases of drug discovery.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The applications of flow cytometry are being extended beyond cells into molecular interactions and genomic analyses. The authors explain how instrumentation and reagent development are combining to improve flow cytometric throughput by orders of magnitude beyond that possible just a few years ago, such that the combination of sensitivity, throughput and versatility makes flow cytometry an analytical platform with applications at all stages of drug discovery.

متن کاملPhotoacoustic in vitro flow cytometry for nanomaterial research
Conventional flow cytometry is a versatile tool for drug research and cell characterization. However, it is poorly suited for quantification of non-fluorescent proteins and artificial nanomaterials without the use of additional labeling. The rapid growth of biomedical applications for small non-fluorescent nanoparticles (NPs) for drug delivery and contrast and therapy enhancement, as well as re...
متن کاملToward the Development of a Single-Round Infection Assay Based on EGFP Reporting for Anti-HIV-1 Drug Discovery
Background: The rapid increase of HIV-1 strains resistant to current antiretroviral drugs is a challenge for successful AIDS therapy. This necessitates the development of novel drugs, and to this end, availability of screening systems for in vitro drug discovery is a priority. Herein, we report the modification of a previously developed system for increased sensitivity, ease of use, and cost-ef...
