Curated Literature Highlights

2020-07-15 – Cytometry Part A

OMIP-069: 40-Color Full-Spectrum Flow Cytometry Panel for Deep Immunophenotyping of Major Cell Subsets of the Human Peripheral Blood

What it is: A community-adopted, 40-color spectral panel and workflow that unlocked routine, high-parameter immunophenotyping on full-spectrum instruments.


Why landmark (metrics): Cited well over 100 times (PubMed shows “Cited by” >300); method has become a go-to reference for building large spectral panels across core facilities.

2021-12-02 – Blood

2021 Update on MRD in Acute Myeloid Leukemia: A Consensus Document From the European LeukemiaNet MRD Working Party

What it is: The global standard-setting MRD guideline integrating flow cytometry (and molecular) with thresholds, time points, and reporting rules used in trials and clinical care.


Why landmark (metrics): Cited >600 times and directly drives assay design/interpretation and clinical decisions worldwide; widely implemented by hospital and reference labs.

2021-09-20 – Cytometry Part A

Full Spectrum Flow Cytometry as a Powerful Technology for Cancer Immunotherapy Research

What it is: A practice-oriented review that codified best practices for spectral instrumentation, panel design, unmixing, and analysis in immuno-oncology.

                                                                            

Why landmark (metrics): Cited ~110 times; catalyzed rapid adoption of spectral cytometry across IO programs and cores by providing a clear, implementable playbook.
