Use in medicine[edit]

Markers[edit]

Immunophenotyping may also be used to separate cells into different groups based on the markers they have on the surface.

It is a common flow cytometry test where fluorophore-conjugated antibodies are used as probes for staining target cells with high avidity and affinity.
