Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic studies of T-cell lymphoma, B-cell lymphoid and myeloid leukaemia cell lines.

This paper presents Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy to characterise spectral differences that distinguish cells derived from human T-cell lymphoma, B-cell lymphoid, and myeloid leukaemia cell lines. This methodology is based on spectral measurements of major cellular biochemical constituents and multivariate spectral processing. Major spectral differences were observed in the 1800-900 cm(-1) 'fingerprint' spectral region.
