Hello Flow Community,
What are your observations in using flow cytometry to detect minimal 
residual disease in AML that does not have an aberrant T or B phenotype (ie 
no CD7, CD56, CD19 etc)?
If your patient has various myeloid markers of various intensities, do you 
follow intensity as well as positive and negative?
Also, what is your experience with CD117 absence after chemo when it was 
present at initial diagnosis.
If the bone marrow specimen has only myeloid markers present vs having 
myeloid and B markers, does this mean anything?
I would appreciate hearing from you.  Thank you
Bessie
