Abstract
Flow cytometry is a powerful technique allowing simultaneous analysis of numerous morphological and phenotypic characteristics of cells and cellular constituents. Improvements in cell isolation techniques in recent years have enabled flow cytometric analyses of cells derived from tissue biopsies. Here we describe a method for isolating and analyzing small intestinal lymphoid cells using flow cytometry.
