I have a question about a the possibility to quantitate myeloma cells in
bone marrow samples, preferably without initial gradient separation.

I would like to be able to stain for light chains in the cytoplasm and at
the same time use another plasma/myeloma cell marker to distinguish
specific from non-specicfic light chain staining. The problem is compounded
by the difficulty in using scattergating for the identification och myeloma
cells.

Has anyone solved this problem or can recommend any other method for
enumerating myeloma cells in bone marrow samples?
