Markers include CD2, CD3, CD4, CD5, CD7, CD8, CD10, CD11b, CD13, CD14, CD16, CD19, CD20, CD23, CD33, CD34, CD38, CD45, CD56, CD64, CD117, Kappa, Lambda, HLA-DR.
Methodology
Flow Cytometry
Specimen Requirements
- Do not centrifuge
- Send sample refrigerated. Use a refrigerated cold pack for transport.
- Make sure cold pack is not in direct contact with the specimen.
- DO NOT FREEZE
Submit 1 or both of the following specimens:
Bone Marrow
- Send 2 - 3 mL of bone marrow aspirate in a sodium heparin (green top - no gel)
- 2 unstained aspirate smears
Whole Blood
- Send 5 - 6 mL of peripheral blood in a sodium heparin (green top - no gel).
- EDTA is acceptable
Reference Values
An interpretive report will be provided.
