Fluorescence-Activated Cell Sorter
Jeffrey Perkel | Jul 18, 2004 | 2 min read
Nearly 35 years since Stanford researcher Leonard Herzenberg and colleagues developed the first fluorescence activated cell sorter (FACS), the instrument has become the immunologists' key tool. Immunology journals are chock-full of flow-cytometry profiles, the characteristic plots that such instruments produce.But cytometry is just half the story. The instruments also allow researchers to purify specific cell populations based on the presence or absence of particular characteristics. And therein

Immunity can be lymph-less
Jef Akst | May 26, 2009 | 2 min read
Researchers have overturned the long-standing notion that lymph nodes are always necessary for launching the mammalian immune response. Fluorescently-labeled mouse liver Image: Burkhard Becher According to a linkurl:study;http://www.plosbiology.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pbio.1000109 published in this month's issue of PLoS Biology, in the absence of lymph nodes, cell-mediated immunity can be activated in the liver. The findings undercut immunology "dogma," which says the immun
