METHOD FOR ASSESSING CELL SURFACE RECEPTORS OF BLOOD CELLS

摘要

The present invention relates to a novel method for rapid assessment of one or more subclasses of blood cells of interest (BCoI), as for example CD4+ cells and CD8+ cells, in a liquid whole blood sample or a sample derived therefrom; a method of determining the cell count for such cells; a method for determining the CD4/CD8 ratio;a method for determining the quantity of such receptors in a sample;as well as a vertical flow assay device for performing such assessment.
