Editorial. How do you teach an old dog, new tricks, a musical instrument, and flow cytometry?
Fiona Craig (editor).

Multimer Technology Enters the Clinical Arena. The development and commercialization of MHC class I multimers make the flow cytometric enumeration of antigen specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes simple and rapid. These reagents are now finding their way into the monitoring of immune responses to infectious agents in patients receiving allo HSCT. C Paul K. Wallace. Roswell Park Cancer Institute.

Procedure for New Antibody Cocktail Verification. When establishing a new clinical panel for flow cytometry, close attention should be paid to the epitope density of each of the surface proteins of interest. Kristen Humphrey, and Aileen Cinquino, Paul K. Wallace. Roswell Park Cancer Institute.

The CAP Inspection Process: A Personal Perspective of a Medical Technologist. In 1988, I started as a flow cytometry tech at Wake Forest Baptist Health (WFBH) in Winston-Salem, NC. Over the years I been through numerous College of American Pathologist (CAP) inspections and have also served as a lab inspector. These experiences have taught me a thing or two about preparing a flow cytometry lab for the CAP inspection. Natalie Walker, Wake Forest Baptist Health.

eCSI Challenge. The patient is a 24-year-old woman presenting with shortness of breath (of uncertain duration). Chest CT demonstrates an anterior mediastinal mass measuring 9.2 x 6.8 x 5.7 cm. The mass is biopsied and flow cytometric immunophenotyping was performed. Jonathan Fromm, MD, PhD, University of Washington, Seattle, WA USA
