What is the consensus on the new CAP question 11.3076 which states "Is there a procedure to distinguish fluorescence-negative and fluorescence-positive cell populations?" The note for this question states that it is possible to coordinate antibody panels to compare the binding of antibodies of the same subclass that typically have mutually exclusive patterns of reactivity of subsets of hematopoietic cells. Is this question asking for one to show negative and positive cell populations for every antibody which is run? It seems that this question could be a nightmare if taken to the extreme for those people who run extensive panels of antibodies.
