PREFACE
The first edition of Clinical Application of Immunophenotypic Analysis appeared in 1994. This work was intended to be a comprehensive and uptodate book developed to serve a diverse group of individuals ranging from practicing general immunologists, hematologists, students of the field, basic scientists involved in research of cell surface antigens, as well as practicing internists and pediatricians. The science and practice of flow cytometry and immunophenotyping have continued to evolve. With more and more clinical information and evaluation demonstrating the value of immunophenotypic analysis, this has become an established clinical procedure. The rapid advancement of this field has necessitated the creation of a second edition, in order that the book remains current and useful to our readers. Besides, there is a need to put a great deal of effort into promoting the value of clinical flow cytometric tests which can be more efficiently performed and provide more definitive results than many of the classical procedures. This is especially important in areas of clinical immunology and hematology. We retained the features of the first edition that were regarded by our audience as most valuable, but altered the second edition as required to further enhance the quality of the book. We have incorporated much new information regarding normal immune cell development as well as diagnosis of acute leukemias, malignant lymphomas and characterization of stem cells for transplantation. To accommodate these new insights without significantly increasing the size of the book, we have reduced discussions of historical debates that are now resolved by experiments. All chapters have been rewritten and extensively updated to reflect the explosion of knowledge. Beside the editor four excellent contributors have been involved in creating the second edition and all the authors are working leaders in their subjects. Most of the authors confront their clinical problems on a daily basis and have that uniquely urgent spur to keep them at the cutting edge. As a result of the collective labor of a creative people, we now
have a book, which hopefully fills a real need in one of the most exciting branches of modern medicine.The contributors to this edition have done an outstanding job, and
the editor is indebted to them for their diligence, perseverance, and scholarly presentations.
