Abstract
A method of flow cytometric analysis of leukocyte subpopulations using a fluorescence trigger and gating on light scatter vs. fluorescence. The methods are useful where light scatter parameters are unsatisfactory for identification of leukocyte subpopulations, for example when analyzing lysed blood samples without removal of lysing reagent or unbound label prior to analysis.
