#' Extract of a Graft versus Host Disease monitoring experiment (Rizzieri et
#' al., 2007)
#' 
#' 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.
#' 
#' 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.

#' @format The format is an object of class \code{flowSet} composed of 35
#' \code{flowFrames}.  Each \code{flowFrame} corresponds to one sample at one
#' time point.  
#' The \code{phenodata} lists: 
#' \describe{ 
#' \item{Patient}{The patient Id code } 
#' \item{Visit}{The number of visits to the hospital}
#' \item{Days}{The number of days since the graft. Negative values correpond to
#' days before the graft.} 
#' \item{Grade}{Grade of the cancer} 
#' }
