Flow Users,
I am trying to provide recommendations for several flow cytometry facilities
nationwide on how to "properly name" the markers used in both HIV and
Leukemia/Lymphoma evaluations.  I have found that there does not appear to
be a consensus on what should be included in the report name.  (1) CDC
recommends CD#, short description (2) NCCLS Document H42-T Vol. 12 #6
recommends CD#, and trade name (3) US Consensus Recommendations on
Immunophenotyping Analysis of Hematological Neoplasms recommends CD#,
optional trade name, and fluorochrome (4) Flow Principles for Clinical
Laboratory practices recommends the CD#.

Take home is CD# is required...but what else??? How are you reporting out
your results?  

Thanks for your help
