Abstract
The challenges associated with analyzing rare cells are dependent on a series of factors, which usually require large numbers of cells per sample for successful resolution. Among these is determining the minimum number of total events needed to be acquired as defined by the expected frequency of the target cell population. The choice of markers that identify the target population, as well as the event rate and the number of aborted events/second, will also determine the statistically significant detection of rare cell events. Sample preparation is another important but often overlooked factor in rare cell analysis, and in this study we examine Poisson theory and methods to determine the effect of sample manipulation on rare cell detection. After verifying the applicability of this theory, we have evaluated the potential impact of red cell lysis on rare cell analysis, and how cell rarity can be underestimated or overestimated based on erythrolytic sensitivity or resistance of healthy leukocytes and pathological rare cells.

Abstract
Exosomes are a kind of membrane-bound phospholipid nanovesicle that are secreted extensively in a variety of biological fluids. Accumulating evidence has indicated that exosomes not only communicate with cells, but also perform functional roles in physiology and pathology. In addition, exosomes have also elicited a great deal of excitement due to their potential as disease biomarkers. Therefore, requirements for sensitive methods capable of precisely and specifically determining exosomes were needed. Herein, we not only develop a sensing surface to capture exosomes but also compare two surface proteins on exosomes, which are appropriate for detecting exosome surface markers by total internal reflected imaging ellipsometry (TIRIE). Protein G and antibody were immobilized on a thin layer of golden substrate to form the biosensing surface. The bio-interaction between antibodies and exosomes was recorded by the TIRIE in real time. The distance between exosomes adhered on a surface was 44 nm ± 0.5 nm. The KD of anti-CD9 and exosome was lower than anti-CD63 and exosome by introducing pseudo-first-order interaction kinetics, which suggested that CD9 is more suitable for exosome surface markers than CD63. The limit of detection (LOD) of TIRIE was 0.4 μg/mL. In conclusion, we have proposed a surface for the detection of exosomes based on TIRIE, which can make the detection of exosomes convenient and efficient.

Abstract
In order to evaluate Fas and Bcl-2 expressions in CD14+ monocytes, to measure soluble CD14 serum levels and to analyze the relationships with lupus nephritis and disease activity, we enrolled 41 patients with juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus (JSLE) and 27 healthy volunteers. Disease activity was determined by SLEDAI score. Peripheral monocytes were stained for CD14, Fas and Bcl-2 molecules, and cellular expressions were determined by flow cytometry. Soluble CD14 levels were measured by a quantitative ELISA kit. JSLE patients, those with active disease and those with nephritis, presented significantly reduced expressions of Fas and Bcl-2 proteins in CD14+ monocytes compared with healthy controls. Significant inverse correlations between percentages of CD14+Fas+ cells, SLEDAI score and anti-dsDNA antibodies were observed. JSLE patients had soluble CD14 levels similar to controls, although sCD14 levels positively correlated with ESR, but not with SLEDAI score. JSLE patients with nephritis also presented sCD14 levels similar to controls. In conclusion, the reduced expressions of Fas and Bcl-2 proteins in CD14+ monocytes from JSLE patients depict that monocyte apoptotic mechanisms may be important in lupus pathogenesis.

Abstract
In this study, we investigate the validity and laboratory utility of flow cytometry when analyzing platelet activation by studying CD41, CD42b, CD62P and CD63. We compare flow cytometry results from citrated whole-blood and finger-prick samples directly after collection and also after storing both a finger-prick and whole-blood sample for 24 hours. Citrated whole-blood and finger-prick samples were taken from three healthy individuals on two occasions, and a total of 60,000 cells were analyzed for each of the four phycoerythrin-labeled monoclonal antibodies. Half of each sample was analyzed immediately after sampling while the other half was kept in the fridge at 6 °C for 24 hours before analysis. No significant difference was found between the sampling methods or the period of time before analysis. Results therefore suggest that an appropriately prepared finger-prick sample can be used for platelet function analysis, and samples can be stored for 24 hours in the fridge at 6 °C before analysis.

Abstract
Flow cytometry methods used to measure leukocyte function often entail sample preparation procedures that cause artifactual cell activation. To avoid leukocyte activation by isolation techniques, some preparation methods use fluorescent markers to discriminate leukocytes from erythrocytes in whole blood. One of these markers, laser dye styryl-751(LDS-751), has been used to distinguish leukocytes by staining nucleic acid, but has been found to stain other blood cells and dead cells indiscriminately. Thus, LDS-751 may not be an appropriate reagent for leukocyte identification in whole blood. Fixing samples with formaldehydes increases cell permeability and causes surface protein cross-linking that may alter staining of both intra- and extracellular markers. The degree of this sample alteration by formaldehyde fixation, however, remains in question. In addition, little is known about flow cytometry and sample preparation methods in mouse whole blood. The purpose of this study was to determine if labeling leukocytes with a monoclonal antibody specific to leukocyte common antigen (CD45) was superior to labeling with LDS-751 and to determine the effect of sample fixation on a mouse whole blood preparation for flow cytometry. Samples were incubated with CD16/CD32 Fc receptor blocker, and either 10 microg/ml LDS-751 or phosphate buffered saline (PBS). The samples were then fixed with paraformaldehyde or diluted with PBS followed by incubation with 5 microg/ml PerCP-conjugated anti-CD45, 5 microg/ml FITC-conjugated anti-CD11b, or 80 microM dichlorofluorescein diacetate. We found that samples labeled with LDS-751 demonstrated decreased fluorescence intensity for granulocyte CD11b expression and ROS production compared to samples labeled with anti-CD45. In addition, sample fixation decreased mean fluorescence intensity in samples labeled with either LDS-751 or anti-CD45. We conclude that labeling leukocytes with monoclonal antibody CD45 in a mouse whole blood preparation is preferable, as it provides improved measurement of leukocyte indices compared to LDS-751. Also, while sample fixation prior to antibody staining caused a decrease in overall fluorescence; it can be used to successfully identify extra-cellular markers.

Abstract
There is an emerging use of flow cytometry to evaluate patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). We have studied CD7 and TdT expression in the CD34+ myeloid blast cell population in 55 bone marrow samples of patients with MDS. CD7 and/or TdT were detected in 38 out of 55 patients (69%). CD7 expression was not related to other bad prognosis data but conversely, we found an association between TdT+ CD34 myeloblasts and high-risk MDS patients according to the International Prognostic Scoring System. Therefore, CD7 and TdT may help to establish the diagnosis of MDS and, TdT expression also seems to be a useful marker in distinguishing risk groups.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) with immunophenotyping by immunocytochemistry (IC) on cytospins has recently received increased consideration in the diagnosis of lymphoma. The aim of our study was to establish the diagnostic value of a four-color flow cytometric (FCM) panel, including cytoplasmic Bcl-2, in cytologic diagnosis of malignant non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) and reactive lymphoid hyperplasia (RH). METHODS We investigated 424 FNAs from 396 patients. FCM panel included lambda/kappa/CD19/CD5, CD23/CD10/CD20/CD19, CD4/CD7/CD8/CD3 and Bcl-2/CD10/CD19/CD3 in fluorescein isothiocyanate, phycoerythrin, and peridinin chlorophyll protein or a tandem conjugate of R-phycoerythrin and indodicarbocyanine and allophycocyanin. Bcl-2 expression was evaluated separately for gated B and T cells. RESULTS In 97% of 172 RH samples, FCM was concordant with the diagnosis. FCM gave correct immunologic diagnosis in 95% of low-grade B-cell NHLs, 78% of high-grade B-cell NHLs, and 53% of T-cell lymphomas. Malignant B cells had higher Bcl-2 expression than did reactive B and T cells. This helped to establish a correct diagnosis especially in cases where no clear-cut monoclonality could be shown by kappa/lambda staining or where there was no expression of surface light chain. The highest Bcl-2 expression was found in follicular lymphomas. CONCLUSION Our FCM panel allowed precise classification of NHL in FNA material in 89.5% of all samples. Bcl-2 staining can be recommended for primary differentiation between reactive hyperplasia and NHL.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To review the current tests for diagnosis and the implications of cytogenetic analysis in leukemia. DATA SOURCES Professional journals, books. CONCLUSION Leukemia is a genetic disorder with more than 500 recurring translocations. Recurrent chromosomal changes occur in more than one half of all cases of leukemia. Testing includes bone marrow biopsy and aspirate, histochemical staining, immunophenotyping, cytogenetics, and molecular markers. Characterization of specific chromosome changes provides information in determining initial therapy and post-remission therapy. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE Nurses must continually educate themselves to stay current with developing technology and the results of continuing research. This professional education must then be translated to the bedside throughout the continuum of care.
