Assessment of telomere length, phenotype, and DNA content.
Current protocols in cytometry - 1 Sept 2004
Schmid Ingrid, Jamieson Beth D
Abstract excerpt
Telomere sequences at the end of chromosomes control somatic cell division; therefore, telomere length in a given cell population provides information about its replication potential. This unit describes a method for flow cytometric measurement of telomere length in subpopulations using fluorescence in situ hybridization of fluorescently-labeled probes (Flow-FISH) without prior cell separation. After cells are...
