Area of Science:

  • Hematology
  • Immunology
  • Cell Biology

Context:

  • Morphological analysis is the traditional method for diagnosing hematologic malignancies.
  • Immunophenotyping has emerged as a crucial diagnostic tool over the past decade.
  • Advancements in monoclonal antibodies (MOABs), fluorochromes, and flow cytometry have driven its routine clinical adoption.

Purpose:

  • To classify leukaemias and malignant lymphomas based on cell type and maturation stage.
  • To provide critical information for accurate diagnosis and prognosis.
  • To guide optimal treatment strategies for hematologic malignancies.

Summary:

  • Immunophenotyping utilizes fluorescently labeled monoclonal antibodies (MOABs) to identify specific cell surface structures.
  • Flow cytometry and fluorescence microscopy are used to analyze cells labeled with MOABs.
