#HematologyTweetstory 21: the “CD” nomenclature. Musical CDs may be obsolete (though I still have a lot of them from college days; Paul Simon’s “Graceland” wins for most listens). Communicating clearly about blood cell surface markers? Here to stay.🙂 @ASH_Hematology #hemepath/1 
In the 1970s, German Georges Köhler & Argentinian-born César Milstein at @MRC_LMB fused myeloma cell lines w/ B cells to create immortal “hybridomas” that could produce specific monoclonal antibodies. Development of MoAbs led to a wave of discovery of cell-identifying markers./2
In the late 1970s & early 1980s, labs all across the world used this new #monoclonalantibody technology to move beyond morphology in cell identification. The same cell surface molecule identified by multiple laboratories was given different names. It got hard to read papers!/3
