Abstract:
:This article addresses several fundamental features of clinical flow cytometry. A practical overview of the technical and methodologic aspects of this fast-growing and increasingly important new clinical and investigative field is provided. The use of flow cytometry for the diagnosis and monitoring of various chronic lymphoproliferative diseases also is discussed. This article may serve as a useful guide to those seeking to set up or maintain a clinical flow cytometry laboratory.
