What Techniques are Used to Study Surface Sensitivity?
Several advanced techniques are employed to study surface sensitivity in cancer cells. These include:
Flow Cytometry: A technique used to analyze the physical and chemical characteristics of cells or particles as they pass through a laser beam. Immunohistochemistry: A method for detecting specific antigens in cells by using labeled antibodies as specific indicators. Mass Spectrometry: An analytical technique used to measure the mass-to-charge ratio of ions, useful for identifying and quantifying proteins on the cell surface. Atomic Force Microscopy: A type of high-resolution scanning probe microscopy that can measure the mechanical properties of cell surfaces at the nanoscale.
