Flow cytometry is a method of sorting and measuring types of cells by fluorescent labeling of markers on the surface of the cells. Flow cytometric analysis is most often clinically used to help determine the type of leukemia or lymphoma a patient has and to assess the prognosis.

The physician will select a sample based on the type of cancer the patient is thought to have.

Transplantation can be defined as the transfer of cells, tissues, or organs from one site in an individual to another, or between two individuals.In the latter case, the individual receiving the transplant is known as the recipient.
Organ transplantation has become a therapy to treat patients with end-stage disease. While many types of organs have been successfully transplanted, the Adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00736235233293598288noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915958861592754264.post-55272969100887911112013-09-15T00:38:00.001-07:002013-09-15T00:47:35.810-07:00Non Malignant Disorders Of WBC
Leukopenia
Leukopenia is the reduction in the number of white blood cells, which may affect the overall white cell count or one of the specific populations of white blood cells.
For example, if the number of neutrophils is low, the condition is known as neutropenia. Likewise, low lymphocyte levels are termed lymphopenia.
As the principal function of white cells is to combat infection, aAdminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00736235233293598288noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915958861592754264.post-46116001024170244802013-09-14T23:56:00.002-07:002013-09-15T00:06:03.569-07:00Hodgkin's Disease
Hodgkin's disease is a type of lymphoma in which antibody producing cells of the lymphatic system begin to grow abnormally. It usually begins in a lymph nodes and progresses slowly, in a fairly predictable way, spreading via the lymphatic vessels from one group of lymph nodes to the next.
If the cancer cells spread to the blood, the disease can reach almost any site in the body.

The lymphatic system is a complex network of lymphoid organs, lymph nodes, lymph ducts, lymphatic tissues, lymph capillaries and lymph vessels that produce and transport lymph fluid from tissues to circulatory system. The lymphatic system is a major component of the immune system.
The lymphatic system has three interrelated functions: removal of excess fluids from body tissues, absorption of Adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00736235233293598288noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915958861592754264.post-2064570262321925252013-09-11T23:28:00.000-07:002013-09-10T22:55:05.841-07:00Blood Groups, Blood Typing, Blood Transfusion And Blood Bank
Mixing blood from two individuals can lead to blood clumping or agglutination. The clumped red cells can crack and cause toxic reactions. This can have fatal consequences. It was discovered that blood clumping was an immunological reaction which occurs when the receiver of a blood transfusion has antibodies against the donor blood cells.

White blood cells or leukocytes are cells of the immune system which defend the body against both infectious disease and foreign materials. They are spherical, colorless and nucleated masses involved with host defenses.
Normal white blood cell counts are variable with age and sex. Normal adult range is 4,5000 to 11,000 cells per microliter of blood. Slightly higher counts are seen in childrenAdminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00736235233293598288noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915958861592754264.post-953015141458987122013-09-08T21:56:00.002-07:002013-09-10T06:43:07.558-07:00Red Blood Cells
Most of the cells in the blood are red blood cells. These are highly specialized cells that have been stripped of everything, including the nucleus. They are biconcave disk-shaped that contain hemoglobin, The red blood cells supply oxygen to all body cells and remove the carbon dioxide wastes that result from metabolism.A typical erythrocyte contains about 270 million hemoglobin molecules, with Adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00736235233293598288noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915958861592754264.post-32864947614317291852013-09-08T21:23:00.001-07:002013-09-10T06:33:26.059-07:00Biology Of Blood
What Is BloodThe fluid that circulates in the blood vessels of the body. Consists of plasma and cells floating within it. The cells are derived from extravascular sites and then enter the circulatory system.They frequently leave the blood to enter the extravascular spaces.The circulating blood carries nutrients and oxygen to the body cells, and is thus an important means of maintaining the Adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00736235233293598288noreply@blogger.com0
