title: Evaluation of flow cytometric data of human tumours. Correction procedures for background and cell aggregations.
abstract: Background signals and aggregation of cells affect flow cytometric DNA measurements to a great and mostly uncontrolled extent. These artefacts appear mainly in investigations of solid tumours leading to significant distortions in the results. Procedures are described that make possible quantitative corrections both of the background and of the cell aggregations.
