This course is aimed at individuals with beginner to intermediate experience, and consists of a series of seminars and hands-on laboratory sessions. The seminar portion of the workshop will include a brief introduction to the basics of flow cytometry and in-depth discussions of methodologies for studying apoptosis. Laboratory sessions will include sample preparation, flow cytometer instrument operation, data collection, data analysis, and troubleshooting tips. A basic fluorescent imaging system will also be available to visualize cells. http://www.learn.lifetechnologies.com/courses/view/id/345 Proliferation: DNA Content Cell Cycle What is cell cycle? Cell cycle describes the progression of a cell through a cycle of division. DNA content distribution Number of cells G0/G1 G0/G1 G2M S 2N Linear scale G2M S 4N Dye fluorescence A single time point measurement shows cells in different phases of the cycle, with distribution in three major phases of the cell cycle. Under ideal staining conditions, all G1 or G2 cells are expected to be uniform in staining. However in practice, the cell populations are represented on frequency histograms with peaks of various widths.
