IDENTIFICATION OF BLAST CELLS IN A LEUKOCYTE CELL PREPARATION

摘要

The necessity to detect blast cells in a patient sample to determine a treatment regime for leukemia has long been desired. The present invention relates to a method and assay reagents for identification of blast cells in a fluid sample. The method further enables the determination of the lineage of the blast cells. The new method provides a determination of blast cells in less time than prior art methods.
