摘要

Multicolor flow cytometry was quite a technical novelty some years ago but today it became a daily diagnostic service in several flow cytometry laboratories. The publication of Sartor and Gottlieb in this issue of the journal (1) utilizes the advancement in flow technology and the wide array of reagent availability and they described a 10 color single tube flow cytometry assay to optimize the accuracy and sensitivity of minimal residual disease (MRD) detection. One particular problem in detecting MRD is the occurrence of cytopenia that may hamper the identification of residual cells when analyzing several tubes. Placing all of the informative markers in one tube reduces the total number of lymphocytes required for analysis in patients with lymphopenia following chemotherapy and facilitates direct exclusion of contaminating T cells during cell analysis. The assay was established and intended for use only by reference laboratories experienced in multi-parameter flow cytometry for CLL. This way of MRD detection, however also requires advanced instrumentation and thus cannot be achieved in several smaller laboratories. Literature from developing countries addressing therapeutic or laboratory practices related to MRD, is largely lacking, as in many resource-poor countries this advanced type of MRD detection is not feasible. Patkar and coworkers in their first paper from India published last year in this journal (2) described their experience in establishing a flow cytometry-based MRD assay for precursor B lineage ALL (BCP-ALL) with emphasis on assay standardization and cost. They utilized a 4-color approach that allowed MRD analysis at diagnosis and at two follow-up time points to be done in total for $100–150 and they found that this cost-effective MRD panel was applicable to over 90% of patients.
