A flow cytometric assay for measurements of leukocyte CD11b expression in whole blood has been developed and evaluated. The method is based on triggering of the flow cytometer by a fluorescent pan leukocyte marker, RPE-CD45. This enabled flow cytometric analysis in whole blood, and avoidance of in vitro artefacts related to cell purification and hemolysis. Our methodological evaluation suggested the following routine procedure: sampling with sodium citrate as the anticoagulant, sample incubation at 22 degrees C, and mild sample fixation with 0.5% formaldehyde saline. The latter provided good sample stability during 24 h. Moreover, the assay provided good assay reproducibility, low labelling antibody consumption, and minimal sample manipulation (
