Manipulating leukocyte populations to mimic immune disease states: a novel active approach to teaching flow cytometry to undergraduate immunology students.

Abstract excerpt

Flow cytometry detects and measures the physical and chemical characteristics of cells or particles. In medical laboratories, flow cytometers are used to quantify changes in cell populations associated with disease states, such as AIDS. While a powerful technique, it is challenging to teach the principles of flow cytometry to undergraduate students. One approach is to have students process and analyze a patient...
