Clinical Information

This flow cytometry assay involves the staining of white blood cells using monoclonal antibodies in order to classify expression of antigens on the surface, in the cytoplasm, or within the nucleus of the cell.  The resulting CD expression or immunophenotype is used by the hematopathologist to aid in the identification and diagnosis of various malignancies as well as to follow up after treatment. Standard screening panels of antibodies are sufficiently comprehensive to address the clinical considerations for the patient samples submitted (i.e., the presence or absence of detectable leukemia, lymphoma, plasma cell myeloma, or neuroblastoma).
