icddr,b Started Flowcytometry
The Laboratory Sciences and Services Division (LSSD), icddr,b offers a range of diagnostic services to the general public, using its internationally accredited laboratories (ISO 15189:2012 and ISO 15190:2003). The Immuno-Haematology and Cancer Biology Laboratory of LSSD has been offering a range of molecular diagnostic tests essential for the management of the patients under different sub-specialties including haematology. This is a great pleasure that the LSSD has launched flowcytometry for the diagnosis and management of the patients with haematological malignancies. They are hopeful to be a proud participant in the management of haematological patients in the Bangladeshi population and also expects the cordial supports from the haematologists in Bangladesh with confidence.
The Immuno-Haematology and Cancer Biology Laboratory / Clinical Hematology & Microscopy Lab is currently offering the following panels of antibodies for immunophenotyping by flowcytometry:
- Acute Leukemia Panel: cCD3, CD45, cMPO, cCD79a, CD34, CD19, CD7, smCD3, HLA-DR, CD64, CD13, CD117, CD33, CD14, CD20, CD58, CD66c, CD10, CD38, CD4, CD1a, CD99, CD5, CD2, TdT, CD8 (n=26).
- AML Panel: cCD3, CD45, cMPO, cCD79a, CD34, CD19, CD7, smCD3, HLA-DR, CD64, CD13, CD117, CD33, CD14 (n=14).
- ALL (B & T cells) Panel: cCD3, CD45, cMPO, cCD79a, CD34, CD19, CD7, smCD3, CD20, CD58, CD66c, CD10, CD38, CD4, CD1a, CD99, CD5, CD2, TdT, CD8 (n=20).

- LPD (T cell) Panel: CD20, CD4, CD45, CD8, CD56, smIgλ, smIgk, CD5, CD19, TCRγδ, smCD3, CD38, CD25, CD26, CD2, CD7, CD3 (n=17).
The upcoming tests with flowcytometry are-
- Flow Cytometry for MDS panel

- Flow Cytometry for MRD detection for Leukemia
- Flow Cytometry for NK cell Leukemia
- Flow Cytometry for CD34 (Stem Cell enumeration)
- Flow Cytometry for CD20 count
- Flow Cytometry for CD4/CD8 count
- Flow Cytometry for individual marker – IgM heavy chain/IgG heavy chain/Kappa light chain/lambda light chain/TdT/ZAP-70/HLA DR/CD 3/CD 33/CD 11c/CD56 and others
