Test Overview & Methodology
The CD10 (CALLA) immunophenotyping test is a specialised flow cytometry assay that detects the common acute lymphoblastic leukaemia antigen on blood or bone marrow cells. This quantitative analysis is essential for the classification, prognostication, and monitoring of B‑cell malignancies including acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) and certain subtypes of non‑Hodgkin lymphoma.
Our laboratory employs the BD FACSLyric™ platform operating with 10‑colour parameter detection, compliant with CLSI H42‑A3 guidelines for clinical flow cytometry. Each specimen is processed through a standardised lyse‑wash‑stain protocol using fluorochrome‑conjugated monoclonal antibodies targeting CD10 (CALLA) along with a comprehensive lineage panel. Results are reported as a quantitative percentage of CD10‑positive cells with associated mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) values.
| Feature | CD10 Flow Cytometry (Our Service) | Routine Histopathology / IHC |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | Quantitative 10‑colour immunophenotype with single‑cell resolution | Morphology only; subjective, lacks antigen quantification |
| Methodology | Laser‑based flow cytometry (BD FACSLyric™, CLSI H42‑A3 compliant) | Paraffin section immunohistochemistry (IHC) |
| Turnaround Time | Same day | 3–7 working days |
| Sample Requirement | 2–3 mL peripheral blood or 1–2 mL bone marrow aspirate | Fixed tissue block or biopsy core |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
"Flow cytometry immunophenotyping provides an objective, quantitative fingerprint of haematologic malignancies. The CD10 antigen is a critical marker for subclassifying B‑cell neoplasms, but results must always be interpreted within the full clinical context including morphology, cytogenetics, and molecular findings. Our multidisciplinary team ensures that every report is reviewed for diagnostic coherence before release."

Medication Advisory
Do not discontinue or alter prescribed therapy without consulting your treating physician. Corticosteroids, immunomodulators, and recent chemotherapy may influence CD10‑positive cell counts. Always provide a complete medication history at the time of specimen collection.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Severely haemolysed or clotted specimens cannot be processed.
- Insufficient volume (<1 mL bone marrow or <2 mL whole blood) or improper transport (frozen or excessively haemolysed) will lead to rejection.
- Recent high‑dose chemotherapy or immunotherapy within 14 days prior to collection may affect results; please notify the laboratory.
- Seek Emergency Care Immediately: uncontrolled bleeding, rapid bruising, fever >38.5°C with suspected neutropenia, sudden severe bone pain, or acute dyspnoea.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the CD10 (CALLA) test used for?
This flow cytometry assay quantifies CD10 antigen expression on haematopoietic cells. It is primarily used to classify B‑cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (B‑ALL), diagnose follicular lymphoma, and differentiate reactive from malignant B‑cell proliferations. The result guides treatment decisions and disease monitoring.
2. Can this test be performed on a blood sample taken at home?
Yes, for peripheral blood specimens our ISO‑certified cold‑chain mobile phlebotomy service maintains the required 18–22°C transport temperature to preserve cell viability. Bone marrow aspiration must be performed at an accredited hospital facility under sterile conditions.
3. How should I prepare for the CD10 flow cytometry test?
No special preparation is required. Please bring a complete list of current medications and any prior haematology reports. If you are on anticoagulant therapy, inform the phlebotomist at the time of collection.
4. Will my insurance cover this test?
Most UAE health insurance plans cover diagnostic flow cytometry for suspected haematologic malignancies. Send your insurance policy details via WhatsApp to +971 54 548 8731 for immediate direct billing verification.
