Project description

Flowcytometry and cell sorting is indispensable for research in cellular immunology. Using flowcytometry, it is possible to discriminate and isolate morphologically identical cells based on the expression of a set of membrance proteins. This technique will be used to analyse and isolate T and NK cells and precursors thereof and to sort experimentally infected HIV cells.
