Re: Good Books

Hi Emily,

I had the pleasure of co-editing the second edition of Flow Cytometry 
Protocols in Methods in Molecular Biology (Vol. 263, Humana Press, 
2004) which contains 24 chapters of step-by-step protocols as well as 
tips on experimental design and selection of reagents. Topics include 
multiparameter flow cytometry of bacteria and leukocytes, cell cycle 
analysis, concurrent analysis of DNA and RNA, measurement of 
intracellular kinase signaling cascades, cytokine flow cytometry, 
characterization of T-cell subsets, multidimensional approach to 
assess apoptosis, detection of candidate stem cells, fluorescent 
protein genes as reporters, FRET-based assays, novel methods to 
monitor protein-protein interactions, flow-FISH, microarray 
fabrication and hybridization, new development in lasers, and 
validation of biohazardous containment in high-speed sorting.

Best wishes,
Teresa
