Clinical Information

The CD20 flow cytometry assay quantitatively measures therapeutic B-cell depletion for patients on monoclonal anti-CD20 therapy such as Rituximab. Anti-CD20 therapies are used to treat patients with various types of B cell lymphoma, leukemia, and immune disorders.  WBCs are stained with fluorescently labeled monoclonal antibodies to CD14, CD19, CD20, and CD45 and run on a flow cytometer and the CD19 and CD20 antigen expression are analyzed.  The percentages and absolute counts of CD19 and CD20 are included in the patient's report.
