Specified classes and subclasses of leukocyte blood cells are identified by immunohematology procedures, based on utilization of antigenic determinants on the cell surface, their reactivity with antibodies which fluoresce under known circumstances, and identified by utilization of principles of flow cytometry or morphology. This invention particularly concerns improvements in the lysing and fixing method used prior to detection and identifying of the cells. In this method, a whole blood sample first is incubated with a reagent including antibodies to the cell subclass to be identified, the antibodies having directly or indirectly made fluorescently responsive to a particular light (e.g. argon ion laser). The red blood cells then are lysed with a reagent containing saponin. Next follows a leukocyte fixing treatment, preferably using a cross-linking dialdehyde composition, such as glyoxal or glutaraldehyde. Details are given as to time, temperature, concentration, and the use of additives and stains, as well as the use of particular monoclonal antibodies in the preferred procedure.
