These revised guidelines were developed by CDC for laboratories performing
lymphocyte immunophenotyping assays in human immunodeficiency
virus-infected persons. This report updates previous recommendations (MMWR

The recommendations address laboratory safety, specimen collection,
specimen transport, maintenance of specimen integrity, specimen processing, flow
cytometer quality control, sample analyses, data analysis, data storage, data
reporting, and quality assurance.
