2. Back ground
World Health Organization classification of
tumours of haematopoietic and lymphoid
tissues is a collaborative project of the European
Association of Haematopathology and the Society
for Haematopathology.
The project began in 1995 and brought together
over 50 pathologists and oncologists to revise
the classification of hemopoeitic malignancies
based on the REAL
The 2008 revision of the World Health Organization (WHO)
classification of myeloid neoplasms and acute leukemia: rationale
and important changes, Blood. 2009;114(5):937.
3. Backg….
REAL classification of lymphoid was based upon
clinical features, morphology, immunophenotype,
and genetics
In 2001 3rd edition was made and in 2008 4th
edition was made.
WHO classification broadly classifies the
,malignancies as
myeloid,lymphoid,histiocytic/dendritic and mast
cell disorders
4. Introduction
Flow cytometry is a technology that
simultaneously measures and then analyzes
multiple physical characteristics of single
particles, usually cells, as they flow in a fluid
stream through a beam of light.
The properties measured include a particle’s
relative size, relative granularity or internal
complexity, and relative fluorescence intensity.
These characteristics are determined using an
optical-to-electronic coupling system
5. Specimen processing
Specimens commonly analyzed are bone
marrow aspirate, peripheral blood and
lymphoid tissues FNA material and body
cavity fluids
Blood and BMA is processed within 24-48hrs of
collection stored at room temp
They are collected into Heparin or EDTA tube
Tissues like lymphnodes and trephines, trephine
are submitted in culture media e.g RPMI to
maintain viability
The tissues are mechanically dissociated with a
scalpel to yield a cell suspension
6. Spec…
A cell count is obtained before flow is run-
100,000 events or more required.
Red cells are lysed to obtain a population of
nucleated cells before staining
The sample is then stained with a cocktail of
fluorochrome conjugated monoclonal
antibodies
Analysis of intracytoplasmic markers require an
additional fixation and permeabilization step to
allow antibodies to pass through the cell
membrane
A predetemined panel of antibodies may be used
7. Analysis
A measurement for the
diffraction of light in a
flat angle is the forward
scatter (FSC), which
depends on the volume
of the cell.
A measurement for the
diffraction of light in a
right angle is the so
called sidewards
scatter (SSC). It
depends on the
granularity
The process of
collecting data from
samples using the flow
cytometer is termed
'acquisition‘
9. Acute promyelocytic leukemia
CD34 and HLADR
are characteristically
negative in APL.
CD13 and CD117 are
usually
positive. CD33 and
CD13 are expressed
in APL.
11. Study
Objective: The main objective of the study was to
compare morphological and flow cytometric diagnosis
in patients previously diagnosed with leukemia
Materials and Methods: Retrospective study was
carried out at Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital
between the period July 2013 and June 2014 After
Institutional Research Ethics approval was granted
Consecutive sampling was done and information was
extracted from patients files that were previously
diagnosed with leukemia
The data was collected using a data collection form
where socio-demographic data, morphological and
flow cytometry results were recorded.
12. Morphological diagnosis
The original classification scheme proposed by
the French-American-British (FAB) Cooperative
Group divides AML into 8 subtypes (M0 to M8)
ALL into 3 subtypes (L1 to L3)
13. Flow cytometry
Equipment: Four colour computerized BD FACS.
The fluorochromes FITC, PE, Per CP, and APC
were applied
Panel of monoclonal antibodies used include:
-Pan Leukocyte antigen: CD 45 is a pan leukocyte
marker
- B- cell– CD10, CD19, CD20, cyt CD79a
-T cell; CD3, CD4, CD7, CD8, cyt CD3
-Myeloid; CD33, CD117, MPO.
-Immature cell antigens; CD34, and HLADR
-Erythroid marker: CD71
14. Results
The total number of samples run between July
2013 and June 2014 were 101, diagnosed as:
i)AML-11,
ii)ALL-32
iii)Negative-44
iv)Inclonclusive-14
The findings for this study were based on 33
results for patients who had both flow cytometry
and morphological diagnosis

23. Conclusions
Flow cytometry is an important diagnostic tool for
diagnosis of acute leukemia and should be
available for patients in public hospitals.
It should be used together with adequate clinical
info and morphology for comprehesive diagnosis
Future-cytogenetics can be developed through
proposal writing for grants
