Lineage sorting

In summary, the general pattern is that species (lineage) sorting becomes more important as organisms become smaller, which increases their capacity for passive long-distance dispersal and is associated with higher population growth rates. It...

Testing can be performed on genomic DNA isolated from the entire ceU population of the specimen. Alternatively, the sample can be sorted by flow cytometry or immunorosetting to assess engraftment of specific ceil lineages. For example, engraftment of the T-cell versus non-T-cell components can be assessed after flow cytometry sorting based on expression of the CD3 surface molecule, a T-ceU marker.
