Flow Cytometry and Image Analysis for Clinical Applications: Proceedings of the International Symposium on Flow Cytometry and Image Analysis for Cli (International Congress Series)

The techniques of flow cytometry and their clinical applications have rapidly developed over the last 10 years. Modern instruments of flow cytometry have become reliable and sophisticated in cell analysis and powerful tools in research in cell biology, oncology, immunology and various fields of clinical medicine. This book presents a comprehensive update of ideas and instruments of flow cytometry and image analysis, summarizing the present state of flow cytometry. Papers are presented consisting of valuable research in entire fields of cell biology, cell kinetics, DNA ploidy, surface antibodies and cytogenetics. Moreover, many papers have distinctly foreseeable clinical applications in studies of cancer diagnosis and therapy, immunology and virology.
