Abstracts from the 17th Annual Meeting of the Clinical Cytometry Society
Abstract:Assessment of the proliferative capacity of plasma cells (labelling index) is an important independent prognostic indicator in myeloma. A high labelling index (LI) is associated with bad prognosis or worsening of disease. Conversely, a low index corresponds to a good prognosis. Traditionally, the LI has been determined by a microscope immunofluorescent assay. In recent years, a modified method utilising flow cytometry has been developed. We studied the use of flow cytometry to determine LI in 30 patients with … Show more
