- Flow Cytometry Core
The Flow Cytometry Core in the Department of Epigenetics and Molecular Carcinogenesis (EMC) provides cutting-edge resources to dissect the cellular and molecular mechanisms of developmental and disease processes.
The personnel and equipment in this core aid researchers as they identify, isolate and quantify cell types and or cell subsets, while also offering individualized training on specific core instruments and assisting with data analysis and experimental design.
For microscopy services formerly provided by the Flow Cytometry and Cellular Imaging Core - EMC, please see the Advanced Microscopy Core.
Flow Cytometry
Flow cytometry provides investigators with the ability to isolate rare, viable cell subsets from different types of normal and tumor single-cell suspensions based on differential expression of surface antigens. Multiparameter immunofluorescence analysis also allows investigators to quantify the frequency of cell subsets that express various combinations of surface and/or cytoplasmic proteins in the same cell preparation. Additional analytical services include analysis of apoptosis, cell cycle analysis, single-cell deposition and identification of side-population stem cells. The core also offers individualized training on the BD LSRFortessa™ for unassisted operation, and assistance with data analysis and experimental design.
