| flow cytometric analysis and optimisation for measuring phagocytosis in three australian freshwater fish. | the phagocytic activity of fish immunocytes has been measured by a wide range of methods, and has been used as a bio-indicator to assess the immunotoxicity of environmental pollutants and the efficiency of immunostimulants used in aquaculture. this study demonstrates the utilisation of a flow cytometric technique for measuring phagocytosis as an alternative to manual evaluations by light microscopy. optimal conditions for the phagocytosis of latex beads were ascertained, including incubation per ... | 2006 | 16185897 |
