Immunophenotypic Analysis (Flow Cytometry)
Flow cytometry is a rapid way to measure the characteristics of individual cells.
Hematopoietic cells (blood, bone marrow, core biopsies, lymph nodes) are labeled
with selective fluorescent antibodies and quantified according to their surface
antigens. These fluorescent antibodies bind to specific leukemic cells in a pattern
of antigen expression that is used to identify particular malignant cell types.
Panels of antibodies are often used to help define which malignant cell types are
present. Panels include acute and chronic leukemias, lymphomas and MDS.
NeoGenomics offers the following Flow Panels.
