Clin Lab Med. 2007 Sep;27(3):591-626, vii. doi: 10.1016/j.cll.2007.05.007.

Abstract

This presentation is organized according to the recent classification of primary immunodeficiencies published by the International Union of Immunological Societies Primary Immunodeficiency meeting. The diseases have been classified into eight groups. After each list, individual diseases that are amenable to assessment by flow cytometry are reviewed with a brief clinical description and a discussion of the appropriate flow cytometry application.
