Immunophenotyping for Haematologists

Immunophenotyping is of considerable importance in haematology and in the histopathological diagnosis of haematological neoplasms. This new book is aimed at clinical haematologists and haematologists working in both laboratory and clinical haematology but who are not routinely involved in running and reporting immunophenotyping studies but who require easy access to key data to assist understanding of the reported diagnosis. This book: * Provides a concise introduction to running and reporting and interpreting immunophenotyping studies * Includes exam practice questions which integrate immunophenotyping with clinicopathological features and the results of other investigations to mimic everyday practice * Contains a list of all antibody specificities currently used in diagnosis and disease monitoring, ideal for reference in the laboratory * Aids interpretation by covering imunophenotypic characteristics of commonly encountered disease groups and identifies features that differentiate malignant cells from their normal counterparts Written by well-known hematology educators, Drs Bain and Leach, this new book is the ideal resource for haematologists working in both laboratory and clinical haematology, and also for histopathologists interested in the cross correlation of immunophenotyping data from blood and bone marrow aspirate specimens.
