Abstract
The technique of in vivo flow cytometry was developed for the detection and quantification of fluorescent cells in blood circulation without the need for drawing blood samples. In its simplest form, a stationary excitation slit was focused onto a blood vessel and the fluorescence of individual cells was detected through a confocal slit. It has become a very useful tool for noninvasive analysis of circulating leukocytes or tumor cells in animal models where the cell populations of interest can be fluorescently tagged. Translation to human use, however, requires a new label-free approach, which will be discussed in this presentation.
