GvHD {flowCore} | R Documentation |
A flow cytometry high throughput screening was used to identify biomarkers that would predict the development of GvHD. The GvHD dataset is an extract of a collection of weekly peripheral blood samples obtained from patients following allogenic blood and marrow transplant. Samples were taken at various time points before and after graft.
data(GvHD)
The format is an object of class flowSet
composed of 35
flowFrames
.
Each flowFrame
correponds to one sample at one time point.
The phenodata
lists:
This GvHD dataset represents the measurements of one biomarker (leukocyte) for 5 patients over 7 visits (7 time points). The blood samples were labeled with four different fluorescent probes to identify the biomarker and the fluorescent intensity was determined for at least ten thousand cells per sample.
