Imaging flow cytometry combines the speed, sensitivity, and phenotyping capabilities of flow cytometry with the detailed imagery and functional insights of microscopy. This unique combination has enabled a broad range of applications for cancer cell analysis that would be impossible using either technique alone.
In this webinar, Dr. Andrew Filby of The London Research Institute will describe the recent development of a novel method for reporting the cell cycle position and division history of asynchronously dividing cells. This method allowed detailed analysis of cell cycle inhibitor function down to the mitotic stage across multiple division rounds.
John Hazin of the German Cancer Research Center will describe how imaging flow cytometry expanded understanding of cell cycle and cell adhesion molecules in cancer biology in his laboratory. Hazin and his colleagues identified a subset of cells in which the transmembrane cell-adhesion molecule L1CAM (L1) forms polarized membrane domains. They further investigated the co-localization of other proteins with L1, as well as nuclear translocation of an intracellular L1 fragment believed to participate in signaling functions.
These examples demonstrate the practical use and the power of imaging flow cytometry.
What You Will Learn in This Webinar:
- How imaging flow cytometry facilitates analysis of highly heterogeneous samples and rare cell sub-populations
