The panorama and high frequency of antigenic aberrations on polyclonal PC signify the importance of MRD assay validation on a large cohort under normal and reactive conditions. Frequent Immunophenotypic shifts in APC re-confirm the redundancy of baseline immunophenotype for MRD evaluation. Small clones of APC may be missed by assessment of cyKLR alone and therefore, surface marker aberrancy supported by cyLCR is required for definitive assignment of residual APC.
