A simple and sensitive flow cytometric method is presented for the quantitation of erythrocyte subpopulations. Cells were indirectly labelled using human antisera (mostly crude) and fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-conjugated anti-human IgG Fab. The method was evaluated by analysing artificial mixtures of blood group antigens A, B, D, E, c, K and Fy(a). Intra-assay coefficients of variation were found to be 7.2% for 1% D-positive mixtures and 2.2% for 10% D-positive mixtures: the inter-assay coefficients of variation were 9.5% and 6.0% respectively. The sensitivity of the method was found to be 0.31%. The method has shown to be suitable for the routine follow-up of patients after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT).

D005434 Flow Cytometry Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.
