Bone marrow myelogram assessments (full, modified & M:E ratios)
Full Myelogram Assessments
Manual slide evaluation.
Performed under oil immersion by counting a minimum of 500 intact nucleated myeloid, erythroid, and lymphoid cells.
Any notable abnormalities of the sample and evaluated cell lines are recorded, megakaryocytes numbers are assessed and an M:E ratio calculated.
Performed by a certified clinical pathologist.
Modified Myelogram Assessment
Manual slide evaluation.
Performed by counting a minimum of 300 intact hematopoietic nucleated cells classified into proliferative (mitotic) or mature (non-mitotic) erythroid or myeloid cell populations or lymphocytes.
Any notable abnormalities of the sample and evaluated cell lines are recorded, megakaryocytes numbers are assessed and an M:E ratio calculated.
Performed by a certified clinical pathologist.
Myeloid-Erithroid (M:E) Ratio
Manual slide evaluation.
M:E ratio evaluation of the bone marrow smear(s) is conducted by counting a minimum of 300 total cells of the erythroid and myeloid series and lymphocytes.
# Myeloid Cells (M)/# Erythroid Cells (E )= M:E ratio
About our nonclinical animal research models: We provide the utmost care for our research animals and actively pursue advances in animal welfare. As well as ensuring the highest scientific, ethical and regulatory standards, selection of appropriate animal research models for development research is critical to developing safe and effective treatments, devices and products that protect and save lives. Just as we have ethical committee oversight for human trials, we have ethical committees overseeing all aspects of our global animal care and use programs. All of our core, nonclinical facilities are accredited by AAALAC. Learn more about our commitment to replacing, reusing and refining nonclinical research models.
