A new four-color flow cytometric assay to detect apoptosis in lymphocyte subsets of cultured peripheral blood cells
1 Jun 2000
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Human peripheral blood lymphocytes kept in culture after isolation die by an apoptotic process. Detection of apoptosis with labeled Annexin V to demonstrate loss of plasma membrane asymmetry is sensitive, specific, and easy using flow cytometry. This is true in lymphoblastic cell lines when combining Annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) and propidium iodide (PI). However, measurement of...
