Clinical applications of flow cytometry and cell immunophenotyping to companion animals (dog and cat).
Clinical applications of flow cytometry to certain diseases of the dog and cat are now possible. The utility of such applications for diagnosis, prognosis and follow-up are illustrated here by a number of examples: feline AIDS resulting from FIV infection, Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency in Irish setters, deep pyoderma in German shepherds, Immune-mediated Thrombocytopenia, canine Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and Leishmaniasis, Leukemia and Lymphoma.
