Book Description

ISBN-10: 0124329403 | ISBN-13: 978-0124329409 | Publication Date: February 27, 1992 | Edition: 1st

This book reviews flow cytometric methods (techniques for measuring and sorting of cells) used in hematology--ranging from those in routine use (such as leukocyte counting and immunophentotyping in diseases like leukemia and AIDS) to those that have potential future use in experimental and clinical hematology. This volume will be of interest to a wide audience, including cell biologists, hematologists, cancer researchers, and HIV/AIDS researchers.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Hence, this text should remain a useful reference book for the students, teachers, investigators, and practitioners of laboratory hematology and hematology/oncology for years to come."
--CYTOMETRY

From the Back Cover

For many years hematology was based on the identification of various cell types by microscopy. The development and use of immunochemical and molecular methods has enabled blood and bone marrow cells to be identified and characterized according to their chemical and functional properties. The additional use of flow cytometry in combination with such methods now allows all classes of peripheral blood and hemopoietic cells to be measured quantitatively, at rates of up to 5000 single cells per second.
Flow Cytometry in Hematology is the first book to bring together the wealth of techniques which have undergone an almost explosive development over the last few years. It provides clinicians and those engaged in experimental hematology, cancer research and cell biology with a comprehensive survey of available methods, including:
* the use of flow cytometric techniques for biological and morphological characterization of hemopoietic cells
* automated techniques in clinical hematology
* quantitative methods for experimental hematology
