 AB    Several organizations in the United States have recently been involved
       in the quality assurance of immunophenotyping using flow cytometry.
       These activities include publication of guidelines for
       immunophenotyping, particularly in human immunodeficiency virus
       infection, performance evaluation and proficiency testing programs, and
       training and continuing education programs. Through questionnaires and
       results from performance evaluation programs, variability in test
       results has been decreasing the last few years, and more laboratories
       are beginning to use the same specimen processing and data analysis
       procedures.
