Introduction Chronic lymphocytic leukemia is usually diagnosed through the characteristic
morphology/immunophenotype of the lymphocytes, but some CLL cases remain atypical …

Background The diagnosis of CLL is supported by a typical morphology and
immunophenotype and usually does not present difficulties. Nevertheless, some patients …

Immunophenotyping plays a major role and is essential for establishing the diagnosis of
chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Though CLL has a characteristic phenotype, diagnosis …

CD200, a transmembrane type Ia glycoprotein belonging to the immunoglobulin
superfamily, has been shown to have a differential expression in B‐cell neoplasms. Here …

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Distinction between B-cell chronic leukemias can be
difficult due to overlap in cell morphology and immunologic features. We investigated, by …

Introduction Immunophenotyping by flow cytometry is routinely employed in distinguishing
between chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). Inclusion of …

Background: Chronic lymphoproliferative disorders (CLPDs) are heterogeneous group of
disorders with variable clinical presentations and outcomes. Therefore, accurate …

The modified Matutes score has been the basis for the diagnosis of chronic lymphocytic
leukaemia (CLL) by flow cytometry for the past 15 years. To increase the specificity of the …

Flow cytometry immunophenotyping has an essential role in distinguishing chronic
lymphocytic leukemia from other B-chronic lymphoproliferative disorders. Recently, CD200 …

Background The role of CD200 in the differential diagnosis of chronic lymphocytic leukemia
(CLL) and classical mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is well established. Its role in the …
