Counting Dendritic Cells Cultured from PBMC


Image of dendritic cells matured from human PBMC, taken with Cellometer® Auto T4.


Cell size histogram produced by Cellometer® Auto T4. Dendritic cells are larger in size. Therefore, DC cell type parameters are set to distinguish DC from smaller sized cells. For this sample:

DC concentration: 2.3 x 106 /ml
Mean diameter: 13.0 µm
