Title of Collaborative Activity:

Digital Quantitation of Plasma Cells in Marrow Biopsies

Description of Collaborative Activity:

This project is a collaboration between the National Institutes of Health (NIH )Clinical Center and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)that consists of developing software and establishing validations for the automated determination of marrow cellularity and enumeration of plasma cells identified by immunohistochemistry (IHC) using a CD138 antibody. This initial effort should serve as proof of principle for a broader plan to utilize IHC-based automated quantitation of different types of cells in bone marrow core biopsies for diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy monitoring of marrow disorders.
