Editorial on IVD cellular assay validation

Abstract

The article in this issue of Cytometry B on "Standardization of Flow Cytometric Detection of Antigen Expression" by the NCI clinical cytometry group formerly headed by Maryalice Stetler-Stevenson and the NIST group headed by Lili Wang is deserving of not only an accompanying editorial, but special attention by all those readers intending to work in clinical cytometry for the coming decade, as it describes an important future component of diagnostic cellular analysis (Tain et al., 2023). Specifically, the ability to measure the antigen (or probe
