Flow cytometry and spectral imaging multiphoton microscopy analysis of CD36 expression with quantum dots 605 of untreated and 7-ketocholesterol-treated human monocytic cells.

QDs 605 are useful tools to perform antigenic expression in FCM and CLSM. Moreover, CLSM and subsequent spectral analysis provide a more specific characterization of QDs 605 fluorescent emission in the UV excitation mode and a simultaneous identification of 7KC.
