Book SynopsisFLOW CYTOMETRY PRINCIPLES FOR CLINICAL LABORATORY PRACTICE
Quality Assurance for Quantitative Immunophenotyping
Marilyn A. Owens and Michael R. Loken
Flow Cytometry Principles for Clinical Laboratory Practice is aninvaluable benchtop reference and introduction for first-time usersof flow cytometry in clinical diagnostic laboratories. This manualprovides authoritative coverage of accepted methods, qualitycontrols, and standards for the cytometric analysis of clinicalsamples with particular relevance to CD4+ lymphocytes. CD4+lymphocyte determination by immunophenotyping is the standardmethod for evaluating the status of HIV infection, and the singlemost frequent application of flow cytometry in a diagnosticsetting.
