Flow Cytometric Assessment of Hematopoietic Neoplasia in the Dog
نویسنده
چکیده
Immunophenotyping refers to the application of antibodies specific for differentiation antigens of leukocytes to identify lineages of these cells present in reactive (inflammatory) or neoplastic diseases involving the immune system. Immunophenotyping is an objective adjunct to conventional morphologic assessment. Immunophenotyping can be performed on fluids (such as blood, bone marrow and tissue suspensions) by flow cytometry. It can also be performed on snap frozen tissue sections, formalin-fixed paraffin sections and unfixed cytological smears and blood smears. Flow cytometric immunophenotyping has the advantages of being a fast, objective, sensitive and quantitative method [1]. There are numerous diseases in which the application of immunophenotyping is a crucial element in the attainment of an accurate diagnosis and therefore the provision of an accurate prognosis or institution of appropriate therapy.

Use of Four-Color Flow Cytometric Assay for Discrimination of Hematogone from Lymphoblast: Critical Issue for MRD Assessment in B-ALL Patients
Background: Hematogones are normal B-cell precursor which can be seen in different physiological and pathological conditions. Due to variation in B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) blasts immunophenotyping and interference of hematogones in minimal residual disease (MRD) assessment, precise discrimination of hematogones is very crucial. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ex...

A 7-year-old castrated male German shepherd dog was presented with a 10-day history of intermittent lethargy, weakness and episodic seizures. Laboratory findings after admission revealed hypoglycaemia and hyperinsulinaemia. Provisional diagnosis of insulinoma was made based on the presence of concurrent hypoglycaemia and elevated insulin level. In exploratory laparotomy a small nodular mass was...
