Abstract:

Microparticles(MP) are vesicles that release from active or apoptosis cells,with size ranging from 0.1 μm to 1.0 μm. MP are capable of transferring peptides,proteins,lipid components,DNA and mRNA. Methods of MP determination are various,and the most common approach is flow cytometry. As the study of MP is deeper and deeper,it is found that MP are relevant with the development of cancers,infections and other diseases,with large diagnostic and therapeutic potential.

Key words: Microparticle, Flow cytometry, Disease, Diagnosis
