Flow Cytometry of T cells and T-cell Neoplasms

Abstract

Flow cytometry is ideally suited for the immunophenotypic analysis of T-cell neoplasia. This article covers the spectrum of flow cytometric findings associated with frequently encountered benign and neoplastic T-cell populations and details the most common immunophenotypic features associated with specific neoplasms of both immature and mature T cells.

Keywords: Flow cytometry; Immunophenotypic analysis; Pan T-cell antigens; T-cell neoplasia.
