Abstract:
Immunophenotyping with flow cytometry can clearly identify multiple myeloma cells and monitor minimal residual disease by using the characteristic of light chain restriction in plasma cells and some cell surface markers( eg CD138, CD38, CD56, CD117 ). This technology may provide important evidence in the diagnosis of multiple myeloma.
