What is PLCC in haematology?

PLCC in haematology refers to "Peripheral Blood Lymphocyte Culture," a laboratory technique used to assess the proliferation and function of lymphocytes, particularly in the context of immunological studies or genetic testing. This method involves stimulating peripheral blood lymphocytes with specific mitogens or antigens to induce cell division, allowing for the analysis of various immunological parameters or cytogenetic abnormalities. It is commonly used in diagnosing conditions such as lymphoproliferative disorders and assessing immune responses.
