Uncover the JAK2 V617F mutation, a key driver in Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPNs). Learn ARMS PCR, a reliable technique for diagnosis!
White Blood Cells
Abnormal White Blood Cell Morphology
Abnormal white blood cell (WBC) morphology, seen in a blood smear analysis, can indicate various underlying conditions. These include infections, deficiencies in vitamins like B12 or folate, or even blood disorders.
Leukocytosis
Leukocytosis: High white blood cells, body’s response to infection or inflammation. Not a disease itself.
Hairy Cell Leukemia (HCL)
Hairy cell leukemia (HCL) is a rare blood cancer characterized by abnormal white blood cells. Learn about symptoms, causes, diagnosis, and treatment options.
Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL)
Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is a diverse group of cancers of the lymphatic system. Unlike Hodgkin lymphoma, NHL encompasses various subtypes based on lymphocyte type (B-cell or T-cell) and growth rate (slow-growing or aggressive).
JAK2 V617F Mutation ARMS PCR Protocol
Uncover the JAK2 V617F mutation, a key driver in Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPNs). Learn ARMS PCR, a reliable technique for diagnosis!
Lymphoma
Lymphoma: Diverse malignancies of lymphocytes. Hodgkin’s & Non-Hodgkin’s subtypes present with swollen nodes, fever, night sweats, fatigue.
Flow Cytometry Immunophenotyping of Blood
Blood cells stained with fluorescent antibodies reveal hidden markers, like a cellular fingerprint. Flow cytometry analyzes millions of cells, painting a detailed picture of immune health, disease clues, and treatment insights.
Immunohistochemistry Staining (IHC)
This immunohistochemistry protocol guides you step-by-step through visualizing specific proteins in tissue sections, aiding in accurate diagnosis of various diseases.
Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS): An Overview
MDS is a blood disorder where bone marrow malfunctions, causing abnormal blood cell production. Symptoms like fatigue, shortness of breath, and infections may occur.
Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a rapidly progressing and aggressive blood cancer that arises from the uncontrolled growth of myeloid cells in the bone marrow.
Leukocyte/Neutrophil Alkaline Phosphatase (LAP/NAP) Stain
The NAP stain is used to differentiate between granulocytes and agranulocytes based on their naphthol AS-D chloroacetate esterase (NASD-CE) enzyme activity.
