Abstract
Multiparameter flow cytometry (MFC) is one of the essential ancillary methods in bone marrow (BM) investigation of patients with cytopenia and suspected myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). MFC can also be applied in the follow-up of MDS patients undergoing treatment. This document summarizes recommendations from the International/European Leukemia Net Working Group for Flow Cytometry in Myelodysplastic Syndromes (ELN iMDS Flow) on the analytical issues in MFC for the diagnostic work-up of MDS. Recommendations for the analysis of several BM cell subsets such as myeloid precursors, maturing granulocytic and monocytic components and erythropoiesis are given. A core set of 17 markers identified as independently related to a cytomorphologic diagnosis of myelodysplasia is suggested as mandatory for MFC evaluation of BM in a patient with cytopenia. A myeloid precursor cell (CD34+ CD19- ) count >3% should be considered immunophenotypically indicative of myelodysplasia. However, MFC results should always be evaluated as part of an integrated hematopathology work-up. Looking forward, several machine-learning-based analytical tools of interest should be applied in parallel to conventional analytical methods to investigate their usefulness in integrated diagnostics, risk stratification, and potentially even in the evaluation of response to therapy, based on MFC data. In addition, compiling large uniform datasets is desirable, as most of the machine-learning-based methods tend to perform better with larger numbers of investigated samples, especially in such a heterogeneous disease as MDS.

Abstract
Normal human bone marrow cells are critical for studies of hematopoiesis and as controls to assess toxicity. As cells from commercial vendors are expensive, many laboratories resort to cancer-free bone marrow specimens obtained during staging or to umbilical cord blood cells, which may be abnormal or reflect a much younger age group compared to the disease samples under study. We piloted the use of femoral heads as an alternative and inexpensive source of normal bone marrow. Femoral heads were obtained from 21 successive patients undergoing elective hip arthroplasty. Mononuclear cells (MNCs) were purified with Ficoll, and CD3+, CD14+, and CD34+ cells were purified with antibody-coated microbeads. The median yield of MNCs was 8.95 × 107 (range, 1.62 × 105-2.52 × 108), and the median yield of CD34+ cells was 1.40 × 106 (range, 3.60 × 105-9.90 × 106). Results of downstream applications including qRT-PCR, colony-forming assays, and ex vivo proliferation analysis were of high quality and comparable to those obtained with standard bone marrow aspirates. We conclude that femoral heads currently discarded as medical waste are a cost-efficient source of bone marrow cells for research use.
