Cellular Immunology Flashcards
field concerning the interactions among cells and molecules of the immune system, and how such interactions contribute to the recognition and elimination of pathogens
Cellular Immunology
passage of cells in single file in front of a laser so they can be detected, counted and sorted.
flow cytometry
forward scatter
cell size
side scatter
cell granularity/lobes
