Abstract excerpt
Using a panel of monoclonal antibodies for the immunophenotyping of haematological malignancies, we have made a direct comparison of the usefulness of indirect immunofluorescence using flow cytometry (IFC) alongside the alkaline phosphatase-anti-alkaline phosphatase (APAAP) immunoenzyme method. Analysis of 400 consecutive patient samples (blood and bone marrow) over a 2-year period, resulted in unequivocal...
