Hi Kevin: There are not many references out there on using whole blood lysis methods on bone marrow cells. Many labs have just implemented it but not had the time to write it up. See the following for one reference: Tamul KR, Schmitz JL, Kane K, Folds JD. Comparison of the effects of Ficoll-Hypaque separation and whole blood lysis on results of immunophenotypic analysis of blood and bone marrow samples from patients with hematologic malignancies. Clinical and Diagnostic Laboratory Immunology, 2(3): 337-342, 1995. Karen R.
