Multiparametric flow cytometry aids acute leukemia diagnosis and classification. Standardizing antigen expression reporting is crucial for consistent results across laboratories, improving patient care.

Area of Science:

  • Hematology
  • Immunology
  • Cell Biology

Background:

  • Flow cytometry is the standard for identifying and characterizing leukemia blast cells.
  • Current standardized protocols still face inter-laboratory reproducibility challenges.
  • Accurate immunophenotyping is essential for diagnosing acute leukemia and monitoring minimal residual disease.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current status and applications of multiparametric immunophenotyping in acute leukemia.
  • To highlight the importance of standardized reporting for inter-laboratory consistency.

Main Methods:

  • Review of author experience and relevant literature.
  • Focus on simultaneous three and four-color staining techniques.

Main Results:

  • Multiparametric immunophenotyping effectively distinguishes normal from malignant cells.
  • Immunologic gating is fundamental for diagnosis, classification, and prognosis in acute leukemias.
  • Specific panels and analytic processes differ for lymphoblastic and myeloblastic leukemias.
  • Quantitative reporting of antigen expression (units and CV) is recommended for standardization.

Conclusions:

  • Phenotypic aberrations correlate with genetic abnormalities in leukemic cells.
  • Immunophenotypic analysis is clinically relevant for minimal residual disease monitoring.
  • It aids in subclassifying acute myeloid and lymphocytic leukemias.
