Immunophenotyping
Pronounced IH-myoo-noh-FEE-noh-ty-ping, it is a process that uses antibodies to identify cells based on the types of antigens or markers on the surface of the cells.
Use in medicine[edit | edit source]
This process is used to diagnose specific types of leukemia and lymphoma by comparing the cancer cells to normal cells of the immune system.
Markers[edit | edit source]
Immunophenotyping may also be used to separate cells into different groups based on the markers they have on the surface.
Flow cytometry[edit | edit source]
It is a common flow cytometry test where fluorophore-conjugated antibodies are used as probes for staining target cells with high avidity and affinity.
