[Possibilities of using the peroxidase-antiperoxidase method for phenotyping cells in bone marrow and blood smears]

This method (PAP method) may be used for determining the cellular immunologic phenotype in bone marrow and blood smears, of the blast elements in hemoblastosis patients among other things. The panels of monoclonal antibodies for the PAP method should be selected by their preliminary testing in the PAP method and in immunofluorescence test. PAP method with monoclonal antibodies may be used in both hematologic and cytologic laboratories for determining the histogenetic appurtenance of the cells in dubious diagnostic cases.
