Objective quantitative analysis of eosinophils and bronchial epithelial cells in induced sputum by laser scanning cytometry.
BACKGROUND: Sputum induction is an important non-invasive technique for measuring airway inflammation in asthma. Cell numbers are often too low for flow cytometric analysis. Laser scanning cytometry (LSC) is a novel technique that allows objective multicolour fluorescence analysis of cells on a micr...
