Abstract excerpt
This laboratory has previously described a method for scoring the incidence of rodent blood Pig-a mutant phenotype erythrocytes using immunomagnetic separation in conjunction with flow cytometric analysis (In Vivo MutaFlow®). The current work extends this approach to human blood. The frequencies of CD59- and CD55-negative reticulocytes (RET(CD59-/CD55-)) and erythrocytes (RBC(CD59-/CD55-)) serve as phenotypic...
