Short Summary

This is a most comprehensive volume on clinical flow cytometry. The authors have combined years of practical experience and this is clearly evident in the volume. Not only does the volume address the clinical management aspects, it closely relates this information to diagnostic or prognostic value of flow cytometry studies. An excellent overview of DNA analysis is presented as well as a good overview of just about every aspect of clinical flow cytometry. The book is well illustrated, with lots of understandable figures, tables, and charts. Areas dealt with in the clinical sections show great detail, as not only is the flow cytometry aspect covered, but the underlying principles are discussed. Areas that stand out (i.e. are not discussed in many other texts) include chapters on molecular biology and transplantation immunology.
