Flow Cytometry
Flow cytometry is commonly used to measure this property of immune cells (Examples: CD3, CD19, CD20)
What are cell surface markers?
This technique uses fluorescent DNA probes to detect specific chromosomal abnormalities.
What is FISH?
PCR stands for this
What is Polymerase Chain Reaction?
IHC uses these to detect specific proteins in tissue sections.
What are antibodies?
Bone marrow biopsy is most often taken from this bone in adults.
What is the posterior iliac crest?
Forward scatter on a flow cytometer gives information about this cell feature
What is Cell Size?
This technique arranges chromosomes by size, banding pattern, and centromere position.
What is karyotyping?
This PCR method is used to quantify DNA in real time using fluorescence.
What is quantitative PCR (qPCR) or real-time PCR?
In IHC, hematoxylin is often used as a counterstain to color this part of the cell.
What is the nucleus (blue)?
Bone marrow is the primary site of production for these types of blood cells.
What are red cells, white cells, and platelets?
This B-cell marker, detected on flow cytometry, is the target of rituximab therapy.
What is CD20?
The Philadelphia chromosome results from this translocation.
what is t(9;22)?
This enzyme is essential for DNA amplification in PCR.
What is Taq polymerase?
This lymphoma shows CD15+ and CD30+ Reed-Sternberg cells.
What is classical Hodgkin lymphoma?
Auer rods in marrow blasts are diagnostic of this leukemia.
What is acute myeloid leukemia (AML)?
