Since preanalytic lysing of erythrocytes remains critical in flow cytometry, we investigated the influence of four lysing procedures on the quantification of leukocyte and CD34+ cells in hematopoietic cell transplants (HCTs). Samples were derived from stem cell-enriched mobilized whole blood collected by apheresis (unselected) and immunologically p...
An escalation in standard irradiation dose ensuring improved local tumor control is estimated, but this strategy would require the exclusion of the most sensitive individuals from treatment. Therefore, fast and reliable assays for prediction of the individual radiosensitivity are urgently required.
Seven parameters in lymphocytes of 40 patients wit...
Very thin material layers (<100 microm) partially absorb ionizing radiation of low energy. When irradiating monolayer cell cultures from above, attention must be paid to absorption by the medium. Frequently, the volume of the nutrient medium is variable, and this leads to differences in the radiation doses delivered to the cells. In the present wor...
The determination of CD4 cells is of crucial clinical importance for patients with AIDS. However, the high costs involved represent limitations for CD4 cell counting in developing countries.

All current-flow cytometric techniques use erythrocyte-lysing procedures before leukocyte analysis. We investigated the impact of four lysing procedures with different flow cytometric techniques on the loss of leukocytes and hematopoietic progenitor cells in blood samples. A total of 280 determinations out of 10 samples were measured by two flow cy...
Background: Commonly used flow-cytometric methods for immunophenotyping are based on erythrocyte lysing reagents. It is known from the literature that these reagents result in a significant loss of leucocytes caused by membrane destruction. Although the dual-platform method should compensate this phenomenon, the subset-specific individual differenc...
Epidemiologic data revealed increased brain tumor incidence in workers exposed to magnetic fields (MFs), raising concerns about the possible link between MF exposure and cancer. However, MFs seem to be neither mutagenic nor tumorigenic. The mechanism of their tumorigenic effect has not been elucidated.
To evaluate the interference of MFs with physi...
Mutation induction in the HPRT gene of human fibroblasts after irradiation with mammography-like 29 kVp or 200 kVp x-rays shows radiohypersensitivity for doses smaller than approximately 0.5 Gy. Similarly, mutation induction in the CD 59 gene on human chromosome 11 in A(L) cells shows radiohypersensitivity for doses smaller than approximately 0.5 G...

Using repetitive elements as probes, genomic DNA fingerprints of four randomly selected yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) clones (two human and two mouse-derived YAC) were analyzed to determine the mutation level following X-ray exposure. Because the repetitive probes were derived from the mammalian host DNA, most of the fingerprint bands originate...
Background:
Using a single-platform protocol to count absolute CD34+ hematopoietic precursor cell (HPC) levels with different reference microbeads, we recorded occasionally artifactually high CD34+ HPC counts in some leukapheresis bags, whereas dual-platform calculations were always consistent. Abnormal countings were observed only when phosphate-...
Determination of the genotoxic effects of ionizing radiation, especially at low-doses, is of great importance for risk assessment, e.g. in radiological diagnostics. The human-hamster hybrid A(L) cell line has been shown previously to be a well-suited in vitro model for the study of mutations induced by various mutagens. The A(L) cells contain a sta...

Using flow cytometric DNA measurement and sorting combined with morphometric light microscopy, different groups of cells were studied in a human melanoma pleural effusion, a human melanoma lymph node metastasis and a mouse tumor, as well as in normal reference tissues. Beside cells of the predominant tumor cell population, three types of rare tumor...
Correlated DNA- and protein-determinations were performed using flow cytometry and DAPI-sulforhodamine 101 (SR101) staining. Two-wavelength UV-green excitation using a single HBO lamp was found to be superior to single wavelength UV excitation, since it resulted in a higher specificity in the SR101 measurements. The effects of overlapping in the em...

Intravital staining of islets with neutral red is a specific, nontoxic technique for labeling islets of various species. Using neutral red-stained rat islets, we investigated the known fluorescence absorbance and emission spectra in comparison with...
After testing the BrdUrd technique on experimental tumour cell lines, we applied the technique to human renal cell carcinoma in vitro. We compared the results with the data acquired after FCM analysis and 3H-thymidine treatment. In contrast to BrdUrd the 3H-thymidine uptake seemed to be limited in suspended cells. FCM data represented the DNA distr...

The DNA distribution patterns obtained by flow cytometry indicate the frequency of diffe...
Antineoplastic agents are known to induce differential cytotoxic and cytostatic effects throughout the cell cycle. Many drugs have greater toxicity for cycling cells and act selectively at one or more phases of the cycle and may cause partial synchrony of surviving cells. However, these observations have been generally carried out on in vitro syste...
Analyses of the cellular DNA content were carried out in 446 patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid (AML) and lymphoblastic (ALL) leukemias in order to assess the frequency of DNA aneuploidies and its relation to immunologic and morphologic subtypes as well as its prognostic relevance. Based on high resolution FCM analyses and standardized ref...
Evaluation of the proliferative activities of cell populations has mainly been restricted to the use of autoradiography and flow cytometric measurements. The introduction of a new BrdUrd specific antibody makes it possible to determine exactly the DNA synthesizing cells. The BrdUrd technique is safe with respect to handling and the results are obta...
Flow cytometric analysis of human and murine testicular tissue was performed in order to determine whether cells exist with a DNA content differing from the expected categories 1 c, 2 c and 4 c, and to estimate the frequencies of diploid elongated spermatids. About 1.5 per cent of the murine testicular cells had an 8 c DNA content. In human testis,...

The differential pattern of DNA-aneuploidy, detected by flow cytometry (FCM) regarding its frequency, grade and multiclonality, was investigated and correlated to tumor type, malignancy grade, tumor stage and prognosis in a multi-institutional study at the University of Münster. High resolution measurements using admixed normal blood reference cell...
Numerous cytogenetic [1, 14, 30] as well as single cell cytophotometric [31] studies have revealed karyotype or cellular DNA content abnormalities as a typical finding in various malignant diseases. Reliable detection of clonal DNA aneuploidy, however, was made possible only by modern flow cytometers (FCM) [9, 10] combining high accuracy DNA fluoro...
The prognosis of patients with cancer is largely determined by the specific histological diagnosis, tumor mass stage, and host performance status. The management of neoplastic disease with the currently available treatment aramamentarium may be further advanced if individual patients' risk factors could be better defined. Some of the determinants o...
Kinetics-directed drug treatment schedules were tested in Chinese hamster ovary cells. Ten hr after treatment with 1,2:5,6-dianhydrogalactitol (DAG) (at a dose lethal to less than 5% of the cells), a 150% enrichment of cells into the S phase of the cell cycle was observed. This blockade in S phase was reversible and was followed at 18 hr after an e...
The radiation induced reduction of the number of DNA synthesizing cells (spermatogonia) is described using the fast-working flow cytophotometer. Since there is no shoulder in the initial part of the dose response curve this model of biologic dosimetry is very sensitive. The D50 value is 0.25 Gy; a radiation exposure of only 0.1 Gy can be detected.

... In the BC-C, there are many publications with only occasional [13,16,17]. The only study with a large number of cases [18] showed average of 19% of aneuploidy in 509 BCC studied. Unfortunately, this is a service of summons and could not recover it or explain the reason for the signifycant difference with our findings (73.8% of samples of BCC with cellular aneuploidy). ...
... Suitable clones yield an excellent resolution which allows the identification of all chromosome types and opens a way for the detection of persisting aberrations. In earlier approaches to utilize flow cytometric chromosome histograms for mutagenicity studies, the authors analyzed the first mitoses after treatment and used the broadening of the peaks and/or the increasing background for the quantitation of the mutagenic effect [2][3][4][5][6][7]. These approaches remained unsatisfactory, because the sensitivity was low and the specificity was impaired by cytotoxic effects. ...
... Three Euler angles (Ω, Ψ, ω) are defined to establish the relationship between them. As can be seen, the orientation of the z-axis with regard to the lab system is determined by angles Ω and Ψ. Normally, an ideal two-dimensional (2D) model, where a degenerate transition dipole orientates isotropically in two dimensions and thus gives rise to a perpendicular " dark axis " that does not couple to the light field [16], is sufficient to characterize the emission behavior of a spherical QD (I z =0, I x =I y ≠ 0, I is the emitting intensity). However, when the 2D transition moment is not of ideal circular shape, the ideal 2D model needs to be modified by introducing an elliptical parameter [12]. ...
... Fluorescence intensity images of single hypericin molecules on glass and embedded in PVA are shown in Fig.2 Intensity fluctuations in the image patterns occur since the molecule is in a dark state for a certain amount of time, e.g. the triplet state or in another non-emissive states. [35][36][37][38] This blinking is characteristic for a SM and, in addition to the single step photo bleaching, gives an indication that a SM is observed. In order to investigate the blinking dynamic of hypericin, we have recorded intensity time traces of SMs. ...
... Flow-cytometric samples were prepared from fully developed fresh leaves (Galbraith et al. 1983) and processed according to the two-step protocol of Otto et al. (1981), with the concentrations of buffers, dyes and other modifications described in detail by Šmarda et al. (2008) Temsch et al. (2022: Table 1). For the genome size and ploidy level estimations, propidium iodide was used as a fluorochrome, and for the genomic GC content estimation, the samples were coprocessed with DAPI (4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole) fluorochrome (Šmarda et al. 2008(Šmarda et al. , Sliwinska et al. 2022). ...

... 32,33 Light excitation and collection can both be accomplished through a nanoaperture at the apex of the otherwise metalcoated tapered optical fiber that serves as the probe. 34 While this method has been previously implemented into cryogenic UHV SPM systems, 35,36 here we will instead focus on apertureless methods. ...
... Up to the present time SMSM has been realised in spectroscopy and microscopy techniques (see e.g. [113][114][115][116]), most commonly used of which will be shortly discussed below. ...
... The main method that has been used so far in anharmonic vibrational spectroscopy calculations for biological molecules [9], small and large, is the vibrational self-consistent field method, including its extensions such as the correlation-corrected VSCF [10]. Applications to molecules where an analytic force field is applied are very effective for monosaccharides, peptides and even proteins [11,12]. Based on these studies this field can be thought of being one of the potential functions which may play a significant part in describing the functioning of a mitotic spindle. ...
