Figure 2: Flow cytometric scatter plots displaying a large cluster in the blast window (P1, CD45dim/SSClow) merging with both the granulocytic region and the sizable monocytic region (P2). The analysis strategy adopted involved separate gating of both the clusters and tracking the CD marker expression on them individually. The blast-region cells were positive for CD34, CD117, CD13, CD33 and CD14 while the monocyte-region cells displayed CD4, CD14, CD11c and CD64; these findings were consistent with AML with monocytic differentiation.
