Abstract

See full text

Disclosed is a method for identifying lymphatic disease and disease states in mammals. The method uses a multi-angle light scatter flow cytometer to diagnose and treat mammals. The method includes collecting lymph node aspirate from a mammal; scanning the lymph node aspirate in a flow cytometer to generate a diagnostic scan; comparing the diagnostic scan to a known normal scan; identifying differences between the diagnostic scan and the known normal scan; and identifying similarities between the diagnostic scan and known disease scans to identify a cause of lymphadenopathy. Graphical representations of leukocyte identification are generated as a result of the scanning process. By using the graphs, a veterinarian or technician is able to diagnose the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of the treatment.
