Update on Clinical Immunology Laboratory Testing

The recent explosion in our knowledge of the molecular basis of immune regulatory mechanisms has paved the way for rapid developments in immunosuppression, immunotherapy, allergy, autoimmunity, and immunodeficiencies, all of which have impacted the practice of clinical laboratory immunology. The advent of immune checkpoint inhibitors and cell therapies in recent years has led to a surge of interest in clinical immunology. Advancements in lasers, microfluidics, and advanced electronics have resulted in the proliferation of robust and affordable flow cytometry or cell-sorting instruments that can withstand the demands of a clinical lab.
