Tracking Transferred Mouse Splenocytes by FACS

Description

Adoptive cell transfer is a method for moving cells into a host animal to study biology or help treat disease. Researchers can use it to follow cell movement and distribution, or to test how transferred cells behave in a mouse model. Tracking systems such as cell surface markers and CFSE staining can help show where the cell...

Transcript

Adoptive cell transfer is a method for introducing cells of interest into an organism. It is a powerful technique to study various biological mechanisms, including the action of specific classes of immune cells. In addition, adoptive transfer is a promising novel treatment for numerous conditions, such as those requiring bone marrow transplants ...
