Background
In the immunology laboratory cellular work is divided into three separate areas all of which can have very important consequences for patients. The bulk of laboratory cellular work is involved in the investigation of primary and secondary immunodeficiency. The second section is involved in diagnosis of Tuberculosis infection which is becoming far more prevalent in the UK. Finally scientists in immunology can study the nature of cancerous cells in patients with leukaemia.
A flow cytometer is used is used to examine the frequency and function of important cells of the immune system
