Flow Cytometry News and Research

RSS

Flow cytometry is a technique for counting and examining microscopic particles suspended in a stream of fluid. It allows simultaneous multiparametric analysis of the physical and/or chemical characteristics of single cells flowing through an optical and/or electronic detection apparatus.

FDA permits marketing of ClonoSEQ assay to detect minimal residual disease in blood cancer patients

Today the U.S. Food and Drug Administration permitted marketing of ClonoSEQ assay, a next generation sequencing-based test for minimal residual disease in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemiaor multiple myeloma. MRD is a measure of the amount of cancer cells remaining in a person's bone marrow.

Brain tumors trap immune cells needed to fight cancer in the bone marrow, finds research

Certain brain cancers are associated with low numbers of immune system T-cells circulating in the peripheral blood. Low T-cell numbers can be a side-effect of cancer treatment. But it now appears that there is more to the story of these missing T-cells.
