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.

Flow Cytometry Principles for Clinical Laboratory Practice willappeal to clinical laboratory technologists, medical practitioners, and cytometry lab directors in their role as instructors of newpersonnel. In addition, it is a valuable resource for clinical andbiomedical researchers, establishing quantitative cytometricsystems for studies in immunology and hematology.
