ABSTRACT:
A method is disclosed for the discrimination between intact and damaged cells in a sample, and more particularly, the method uses a vital nucleic acid dye to selectively stain intact versus damaged cells which then may be counted and sorted by flow cytometry means. The method also may be used in conjunction with fluorescently labelled monoclonal antibodies to simultaneously identify cellular antigens.
