A novel fluorescent probe-based flow cytometric assay for mineral-containing nanoparticles in serum

Abstract Calciprotein particles, nanoscale aggregates of insoluble mineral and binding proteins, have emerged as potential mediators of phosphate toxicity in patients with Chronic Kidney Disease. Although existing immunochemical methods for their detection have provided compelling data, these approa...
