Fluorescent antibodies can be used to separate mixtures of cells into relatively pure populations with a fluorescence cytometer.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fluorescent antibodies have the ability to bind specifically to antigens present on the surface of cells. By tagging these antibodies with a fluorescent dye, they can be used to identify and separate specific cell populations based on their fluorescence properties using a fluorescence cytometer. As the process allows the separation of relatively pure cell populations from mixtures, the statement is true.
