Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of medical detection, and relates to an antibody composition and a prediction system thereof for lymphoma immunophenotyping based on flow cytometry. Background Art
[0002] Flow cytometry is a method for quantitative analysis of single cells. It offers advantages such as speed, high precision, and multi-parameter capabilities, making it one of the most advanced methods for quantitative cell analysis. The hemolysis step in preparing the test solution significantly impacts test results, especially when batch processing samples. Due to the numerous manual steps involved, the hemolysis time is significantly affected by environmental factors. Furthermore, after adding the hemolysin, the sample must be incubated in the dark for approximately 15 minutes. Existing hemolysis methods are time-consuming and relatively inefficient, necessitating improvements to enhance detection efficiency.
[0003] Flow cytometry plays an important role in the diagnosis, classification, staging, and monitoring of residual lymphoma. Flow cytometry immunoassays analyze whether each individual cell in a population expresses certain specific antigens (i.e., phenotype), thereby defining the cell lineage (B or T / NK) and maturity (precursor or mature), providing a reliable basis for diagnosis. Cell phenotyping and result interpretation often require the following steps: ① Determine the maturity of a cell population, such as mature B cells or primitive / immature cells; ② Identify abnormal cells by distinguishing their antigen expression profile from that of normal cells; ③ Detailed phenotype analysis of the abnormal cell population, such as expression or absence of a specific antigen, and detailed investigation of increases or decreases in fluorescence intensity detected by a specific antibody; ④ Determine whether the information from the flow cytometry test is diagnostic; even if it is not diagnostic, it can provide advice for further testing, such as immunohistochemistry, cytogenetics, FISH, and molecular testing; ⑤ Immunophenotyping may have certain prognostic value, including identifying potential therapeutic targets. Currently, the most popular approach in the flow cytometry industry is to test only one antibody per channel. However, if the same antibody channels are used, multiple tests are often required to test them simultaneously, wasting both antibody and time. Prior art designs for first-line antibodies used in lymphoma typing often utilize two-tube assays, requiring analysis of data from both tubes. This not only wastes gating antibodies and reduces experimental efficiency, but also prevents simultaneous observation of the connections between T, NK, and B lymphocytes, and makes it impossible to distinguish the expression of cross-lineage antigens across different lymphocytes, making it impossible to make targeted screening recommendations for cross-lineage antigen expression. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art, the first object of the present invention is to optimize the number of tubes and antibody combinations of first-line antibodies based on flow cytometry detection, and to provide an antibody composition that can comprehensively, efficiently and comprehensively perform the first step of lymphoma immunophenotyping in a single tube.
[0005] A second objective of the present invention is to improve the hemolysis method used in flow cytometry sample preparation by optimizing the incubation conditions and hemolysin type used in the hemolysis process, significantly increasing the efficiency of test fluid preparation and thus improving detection efficiency. Furthermore, in combination with the aforementioned antibody composition for lymphoma immunophenotyping, and in conjunction with the expression of specific antibody combinations and antibody pairs, an efficient, economical, and comprehensive flow cytometry-based prediction system for lymphoma immunophenotyping is provided, which can rapidly identify mixed lymphomas.
[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the embodiment of the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
[0007] In a first aspect, the present invention provides an antibody composition for lymphoma immunophenotyping based on flow cytometry, wherein the antibody composition comprises anti-CD8 antibody, anti-CD4 antibody, anti-CD10 antibody, anti-CD3 antibody, anti-CD56 antibody, anti-CD7 antibody, anti-CD5 antibody, anti-CD34 antibody, anti-CD10 antibody, anti-CD19 antibody, anti-CD2 antibody, anti-CD20 antibody, anti-CD45 antibody, anti-kappa antibody and anti-lambda antibody; the above antibodies are all monoclonal antibodies;
[0008] The antibody compositions are mixed in the same flow cytometry tube during detection.
[0009] During the development of cells in the normal hematopoietic system, each type of cell has its own inherent pattern of antigen expression. However, in tumor states such as leukemia, lymphoma, and MM, this pattern may change in quantity or quality. Based on these changes, auxiliary diagnosis of these diseases can be performed for typing and classification. The flow cytometry detection method uses fluorescein-labeled McAbs against human cell differentiation antigens to bind to the corresponding antigens of individual cells in the sample, and uses a flow cytometer to detect the fluorescent markers bound to the cell surface, thereby analyzing the antigen expression of abnormal cell populations. Based on flow cytometry, the present invention optimizes the number of tubes and antibody combinations of first-line antibodies used for lymphoma immunotyping, and provides an antibody composition that only requires one tube to detect 15 antibody indicators, so as to achieve low sample requirements, rapid, comprehensive, and relatively accurate lymphoma immunotyping.
[0010] Preferably, the antibody is labeled with different fluorescent markers; the fluorescent markers are selected from FITC, PE, ECD, PE-CY7, PerCP-Cy TM5.5, APC, APC Alexa Fluor 700, Pacific Blue, Brilliant Violet 421, SparkViolet TM 538、APC-Cy7 TM 7.
[0011] Preferably, the labeling coordination relationship between the fluorescent marker and the antibody is as follows: the labeling coordination relationship between the fluorescent marker and the antibody is as follows: anti-Kappa antibody and anti-CD8 antibody are labeled with FTIC, anti-Lambda antibody and anti-CD4 antibody are labeled with PE, anti-CD3 antibody is labeled with ECD, and anti-CD56 antibody is labeled with PerCP-Cy TM 5.5, anti-CD7 antibody labeled with PE-Cy7, anti-CD5 antibody and anti-CD34 antibody labeled with APC, anti-CD10 antibody labeled with APC Alexa Fluor 700, anti-CD19 antibody labeled with APC-Cy7 TM 7. Anti-CD2 antibody labeled Pacific Blue, anti-CD20 antibody labeled Briliant Violet 421, anti-CD45 antibody labeled Spark Violet TM 538.

[0030] Preferably, in the analysis of B cells in the lymphocyte gate, when the ratio of Kappa / Lambda of the cell membrane light chain of the mature B cells does not fall within the range of 0.3 to 3.0 or when Kappa / Lambda is not expressed, the cells are determined to be abnormal mature B cells, and the probability of B cell lymphoma is predicted based on the ratio of the abnormal mature B cells;
[0031] Further according to the expression of CD5 and CD10, the prediction result is output as follows: suspected CD5 + CD10 - B-cell lymphoma, CD5 - CD10 - B-cell lymphoma, CD5 + CD10 + B-cell lymphoma or CD5 - CD10 + Any type of B-cell lymphoma;

[0086] Example 2 A prediction system for lymphoma immunophenotyping based on flow cytometry
[0087] This embodiment provides a prediction system for lymphoma immunophenotyping based on flow cytometry, which includes a data detection module and a data analysis module.
[0088] The detection module includes detecting the antigen expression of the cell fluid to be tested by flow cytometry, wherein the cell fluid to be tested is prepared by mixing the antibody composition and the hemolysin composition described in Example 1 with the bone marrow sample to be tested to prepare the cell fluid to be tested;
[0089] The data analysis module is used to analyze the detection results of the detection module and predict lymphoma immunophenotyping according to predetermined judgment criteria.
[0090] 1. The detection module includes the preparation of the cell fluid to be tested and the on-machine detection. The specific operation process is as follows:
[0091] (1) Take 2 mL of human bone marrow sample and immediately place it in a heparin anticoagulant tube. Mix well to prevent the sample from coagulating to obtain the test sample.
[0092] (2) Cell counting: Take 10 μL of the above sample and add it to 150 μL of PBS, mix well, and count the number of cells per microliter. According to the test results, the number of cells per tube is controlled at 1×10 6 ~2×10 6 indivual;
[0093] (3) Add 100 μL of the antibody composition in Table 1 of Example 1 and the cell solution adjusted for cell concentration in step (2) to each test tube, gently rotate the test tube, and incubate at room temperature (18°C to 25°C) for 15 min under the conditions specified in the antibody data sheet;
[0094] (4) Add 0.5 mL of OPtiLyse C reagent and immediately vortex and incubate at room temperature (18°C to 25°C) in the dark for 2.5 min; dilute FACS Lysing solution (10X) with distilled water to FACS Lysing solution (1×), add 2 mL of room temperature FACS Lysing solution (1×) to each tube, immediately mix at low speed, and incubate in a 37°C water bath in the dark for 2.5 min;
[0095] (5) Centrifuge at 300 g for 5 min at room temperature;
[0096] (6) Discard the supernatant, leaving about 50 μL of liquid in the test tube to avoid damaging the cell pellet;
[0097] (7) Mix at low speed and resuspend the cells in PBS buffer containing 1% calf serum. Add 2 mL of PBS containing 0.1% sodium azide to each tube to wash the cells, mix at low speed, and centrifuge at 300 g for 5 min at room temperature.
[0098] (8) Aspirate the supernatant, leaving about 50 μL of liquid in the test tube to avoid damaging the cell cluster; mix at low speed, resuspend the cells in PBS buffer containing 1% calf serum, add 500 μL of PBS to each tube, and mix at low speed.
[0099] (10) Cap the processed sample tube to obtain the cell suspension to be tested. Store the cell suspension in the dark at 2-8°C until ready for testing. It is best to analyze the sample within 24 hours after staining. Mix the suspension thoroughly before loading to prevent cell aggregation.
[0100] (11) Turn on the Navios flow cytometer and preheat the machine for at least 20 minutes. Test the internal quality control sample to ensure that all test values are within the control range. Load the AL-PANEL and collect data. According to the set instrument conditions, obtain 300,000 cells per tube.
[0101] Second, the data analysis module is used to analyze the detection results of the detection module and predict lymphoma immunophenotyping based on predetermined judgment criteria. Specifically, it uses KUALZA software to analyze data, set gates for analysis, and output prediction results according to the following method. The specific contents are as follows:
[0102] S1. Establishing CD45-SS Map
[0103] Select the live single cell gate, use the FS INT and FS PEAK combination to judge the removal of adhesions, CD45-FS to remove cell debris, and establish a CD45-SS graph. The cell population after the cell debris is removed is roughly divided into five gates: Granulocyte, Monocytes, Lymphocytes, CD45dim, and CD45neg. In normal bone marrow, lymphocytes account for 20-40%, monocytes 2-8%, granulocytes 40-60%, nucleated red blood cells 2-15%, and immature cells less than 5%. Among them, the cells to be tested after the adhesions and cell debris are removed and the CD45-SS detection graph is shown as follows Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 a) is the detection image after the adhesion bodies of the cells to be tested are cut off; Figure 1 b) is a detection image after cutting away adhesion bodies and cell fragments; Figure 1 c) The cells to be tested are CD45-SS detection diagram.
[0104] S2. Analysis of B cells within the lymphocyte gate
[0105] The CD19-SS gate was used to circle out B cells with CD3-CD7- in the CD19+ gate. The lymphoid B cell gate included B lymphocytes, B progenitor cells, and plasma cells.
[0106] (1) In the CD45dim or CD45neg gate, if CD34 is positive and the CD20-CD10 pattern is abnormal, it is determined to be abnormal primitive / immature B cells. When the proportion of abnormal primitive / immature B cells in B cells is greater than 20%, the prediction result is output as: suspected B lymphoblastic leukemia; when the proportion of abnormal primitive / immature B cells is less than or equal to 20%, the prediction result is output as: x% abnormal primitive / immature B cells are visible. The x% is subject to the actual test results, the same below.
[0107] (2) Observe the development trend of B progenitor cells and mature B cells. Observe the proportion of mature B cells in lymphocytes (CD19 + CD20 + The proportion of B lymphocytes in normal lymphocytes is 10-20%. If the development of B progenitor cells and mature B cells is abnormal, and the proportion of mature B cells in lymphocytes exceeds 20%, the prediction system outputs a suspected B-cell lymphoma.
[0108] Using a logical lymphocyte gate, we observe the expression of CD5, CD10, CD20, or CD34 on B lymphocytes. Among normal lymphocytes, mature B cells express CD20 and CD19, a small amount of CD5, and no CD34 or CD10. If observations reveal increased CD5 expression, abnormal CD10 expression, increased CD20 expression, or decreased CD20 expression, and the proportion of abnormal B cells exceeds 20%, the prediction system outputs a suspected B-cell lymphoma.
[0109] Among them, the detection chart of B cell development and lymphocyte ratio is as follows Figure 2 As shown, where: Figure 2 a) is a detection diagram of CD19 positive cells to be tested; Figure 2 b) is a diagram for detecting the developmental patterns of CD10 and CD20 in B progenitor cells and B cells; Figure 2 c) Detection chart of the ratio of B cells to lymphocytes.
[0110] (3) Through the logical B cell gate, observe the expression of Kappa-Lambda, the light chain of mature B cells. The Kappa:Lambda ratio of normal B cell membrane light chain expression is 0.3 to 3. If the Kappa:Lambda ratio of B cell membrane light chain expression does not fall within the range of (0.3, 3) or neither Kappa nor Lambda is expressed, it is judged as an abnormal mature B cell. If the proportion of abnormal mature B cells in B cells is greater than 20%, the output prediction result is: suspected B cell lymphoma; if the proportion of abnormal mature B cells in B cells is less than or equal to 20%, the output prediction result is: x% abnormal mature B cells are visible.
[0111] If the prediction result is suspected B-cell lymphoma, CD5+10- B-cell lymphoma, CD5+CD10+ B-cell lymphoma, CD5-CD10- B-cell lymphoma and CD5-CD10+ B-cell lymphoma can be preliminarily screened according to the expression of CD5 and CD10; the output prediction result is CD5+CD10- B-cell lymphoma, CD5-CD10- B-cell lymphoma, CD5+CD10+ B-cell lymphoma or CD5-CD10+ B-cell lymphoma, and the corresponding prediction result is output.
[0112] Among them, the B cell immunophenotype (CD5, CD20, CD10 or cell membrane light chain Kappa and Lambda expression) is shown in the figure below. Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 a) is a graph showing the expression of CD5 in B cells to be tested; Figure 3 b) is the detection diagram of CD20 expression on B cells;
[0113] Figure 3c) CD10 expression on B cells; Figure 3 d) is the detection diagram of the expression of B cell membrane light chains Kappa and Lambda.
[0114] S3. Analysis of T cells and NK cells within the lymphocyte gate
[0115] Normal T cells account for 50-70%, NKT cells account for 20-30%, and NK cells account for 10-40%. T-cell lymphoma and NK-cell lymphoma will show an increase in the corresponding lymphocyte ratio.
[0116] Through the logical lymphocyte gate, observe the CD3 / CD56 graph, where CD3+CD19- is T cells, CD3+CD56+ is NKT cells, CD3-CD56+ is NK cells, and CD3-CD19- is NK cells or abnormal T cells. The ratio of cells in the gate is displayed to observe lymphocyte T cells and NK cells. The details are as follows:
[0117] (1) Observe the proportion of T cells to lymphocytes in the lymphocyte gate through the logical lymphocyte gate CD3+CD19-.
[0118] If CD45 dim or CD45 is negative and CD34+, it is determined to be abnormal primitive / immature T cells. When the proportion of abnormal primitive / immature T cells is greater than 20%, the prediction result is output as: suspected acute T-lymphocytic leukemia; when the proportion of abnormal primitive / immature T cells is less than or equal to 20%, the prediction result is output as: x% abnormal primitive / immature T cells are visible;
[0119] If CD45+CD34- is present, it is considered a T cell. Abnormal T cells are determined based on the CD4 / CD8 ratio, the percentage of CD4+CD8+ cells in T cells, the percentage of CD4-CD8- cells in T cells, abnormal pan-T cell antigen expression, or abnormally elevated expression of a single antigen in T cells. If the percentage of abnormal T cells is greater than 20%, the prediction output is: Suspected T-cell lymphoma; if the percentage of abnormal T cells is less than or equal to 20%, the prediction output is: X% abnormal T cells are visible.
[0120] The system analyzes the expression of CD4-CD8 in T lymphocytes, such as the ratio of CD4 to CD8. If a significant imbalance in the CD4 / CD8 ratio is observed in normal T cells, such as a CD4 / CD8 ratio greater than 10:1 or less than 1:10, these cells are considered abnormal. If the proportion of these abnormal T cells exceeds 20%, the prediction is: suspected T-cell lymphoma.
[0121] If CD5, CD7, or CD2 antigens are expressed abnormally (e.g., absent, enhanced, or weakened) compared to normal cells, or if CD10 antigen expression is abnormally elevated, these cells are considered abnormal T cells. If the proportion of these abnormal T cells is greater than 20%, the diagnosis is suspected of T-cell lymphoma.
[0122] It is important to observe the CD4 / CD8 ratio. If the CD4 / CD8 ratio is unbalanced, greater than 10:1 or less than 1:10, a large expansion of CD8+ T cells accompanied by downregulation of CD7 expression can be seen during viral infection, so pay attention to identification;
[0123] Among abnormal pan-T cell antigen expression, abnormal expression of CD3, CD5, and CD7 is more common, while abnormal expression of CD2 is relatively rare. Antigen expression is often reduced or absent, and a small number of patients may show upregulated antigen expression;
[0124] The expression of certain antigens in T cells is abnormally elevated, such as CD10.
[0125] (2) Observe the CD3-CD19- logic gate
[0126] If CD56+, further combined with whether the expression of antigens including CD7, CD2 or CD5 is abnormal, the probability of NK cell lymphoma is predicted;
[0127] If CD4+ cells are accompanied by abnormal expression of CD56, CD5, CD7, or CD2 antigens, or if the expression of certain antigens (such as CD10) is abnormal, they are considered abnormal T cells. If the proportion of abnormal T cells is greater than 20%, the prediction result is output as: suspected T-cell lymphoma; if the proportion of abnormal T cells is less than or equal to 20%, the prediction result is output as: x% abnormal T cells are visible.
[0128] If CD4- is accompanied by abnormal expression of CD56, CD5, CD7, or CD2 antigens, it is diagnosed as abnormal T cells or abnormal NK cells. If the proportion of abnormal T cells or abnormal NK cells is greater than 20%, the prediction result is output as: suspected T cell or NK cell lymphoma; if the proportion of abnormal T cells or abnormal NK cells is less than or equal to 20%, the prediction result is output as: x% abnormal T cells or NK cells are visible.
[0129] Among them, the proportion of T cells and NK cells in lymphocytes is shown in the figure below. Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 a) is the CD3 positive cell detection diagram; Figure 4 b) is the detection diagram of the proportion of CD3 positive cells in lymphocytes; Figure 4 c) Detection chart of CD3-positive T cells, NKT cells, and the proportion of NK cells in lymphocytes.
[0130] Figure 4 shows the development detection of CD4 and CD8 in T cells. Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 a) is the detection diagram of T cell CD4 expression; Figure 5 b) is the detection diagram of T cell CD8 expression; Figure 5 c) is a detection diagram of CD4+CD8+T cells, CD4+CD8-T cells, CD4-CD8+T cells, and the proportion of CD4-CD8+T cells in T cells;
[0131] The development detection of CD7, CD5 and CD2 in T cells and NK cells is shown in the figure Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 a) is a graph showing the detection of CD7 expression in T cells and NK cells; Figure 6 b) is a graph showing the detection of CD5 expression in T cells and NK cells; Figure 6 c) is the detection diagram of CD2 expression in T cells and NK cells.
[0132] S4. Analysis of the expression of different lymphocyte cross-lineage antigens in lymphocytes
[0133] Logical lymphocyte gate, through the expression of antigens such as (CD5+CD34)-CD10 / CD3-CD10 / CD7-CD10 / CD3-CD19 / CD19-CD7 / CD19-CD56, observes the cross-lineage expression between different lymphocytes. The flow analysis method provided by the present invention can more clearly detect the cross-lineage expression of abnormal cells, making subsequent screening more targeted. For example: abnormal T cells lose membrane CD3 / CD3 expression weakens, and express CD10 at the same time. The output prediction result is: suspected angioimmunoblastic lymphoma, it is recommended to combine bone marrow biopsy and IHC examination for further screening; if abnormal B cells express CD7, the output prediction result is: suspected B cell lymphoma combined with T cell lymphoma, it is recommended to combine second-line antibody cCD3 for further screening; if abnormal T cells express CD19, the output prediction result is: suspected T cell lymphoma accompanied by B cell lymphoma, it is recommended to combine second-line antibodies cCD79a and CD22 for further screening.
[0134] Observe whether different lymphocytes express across different lines. Figure 7 As shown, Figure 7 a) is the detection diagram of lymphocyte CD3 / CD19; Figure 7 b) is the detection diagram of lymphocyte CD3 / CD10 expression; Figure 7 c) is the detection graph of lymphocyte CD7 / CD10 expression; Figure 7 d) is the detection diagram of lymphocyte CD56 / CD19 expression.
[0135] S5. Based on the above analysis results of the expression of B cells, T cells or NK cells and cross-lineage antigens in the lymphocyte gate, predict whether it is a mixed lymphoma of any two of the three types of cells: B cells, T cells or NK cells.
[0136] The prediction system for lymphoma immunophenotyping based on flow cytometry provided in this embodiment has the following advantages:
[0137] (1) The present invention improves the traditional flow cytometry sample preparation method by adding two hemolysins and improving the incubation temperature. The incubation time after adding the hemolysins is shortened from 15 minutes in the traditional hemolysis process to 4.5 minutes, which can significantly reduce the flow cytometry sample preparation time and significantly improve the detection efficiency.
[0138] (2) The single-tube combination can simultaneously observe T lymphocytes, B lymphocytes, and NK lymphocytes, avoiding duplication of gating antibodies, saving reagents, and improving work efficiency;
[0139] (3) It is more advantageous for observing certain mixed lymphomas and can quickly identify different clonal proliferation populations in the same patient, such as patients with clonal proliferation of mature T lymphocytes and clonal proliferation of mature B lymphocytes at the same time;
[0140] (4) It can quickly identify different stages of clonal proliferation populations in the same patient, such as patients with clonally proliferating mature T lymphocytes and clonally proliferating primitive B lymphocytes, patients with clonally proliferating mature B lymphocytes and clonally proliferating primitive T lymphocytes, and discover some other primitive stage cells that do not express T and B lineages.

[0177] (7) Mix at low speed and resuspend the cells in PBS buffer containing 1% calf serum. Add 2 mL of PBS containing 0.1% sodium azide to each tube to wash the cells, mix at low speed, and centrifuge at 300 g for 5 min at room temperature.
[0178] (8) Aspirate the supernatant, leaving about 50 μL of liquid in the test tube to avoid damaging the cell cluster; mix at low speed, resuspend the cells in PBS buffer containing 1% calf serum, add 500 μL of PBS to each tube, and mix at low speed.
[0179] (10) Cap the processed sample tube to obtain the cell suspension to be tested. Store the cell suspension in the dark at 2-8°C until ready for testing. It is best to analyze the sample within 24 hours after staining. Mix the suspension thoroughly before loading to prevent cell aggregation.
[0180] (11) Turn on the Navios flow cytometer and preheat the machine for at least 20 minutes. Test the internal quality control sample to ensure that all test values are within the control range. Load the AL-PANEL and collect data. According to the set instrument conditions, obtain 300,000 cells per tube.
[0181] 2. Data analysis, the specific contents are as follows:
[0182] 1. Analyze the expression of relevant antigens in tube 1
[0183] (1) FS INT and FS PEAK were combined to remove adhesions, CD45-FS was used to remove cell fragments, and CD45-SS was used to roughly divide the cells to be tested into five gates: Granulocytes, Monocytes, Lymphocytes, CD45dim, and CD45neg.
[0184] (2) Preliminary observation of CD3 / CD4 / CD8 / CD56 expression in CD3+ T lymphocytes and NK lymphocytes. For example, the ratio of CD4 to CD8 in T cells is observed. Normal T cell CD4 to CD8 is 0.5-3.0. If the ratio of CD4 to CD8 in the T cells of the cells to be tested does not fall within the range of (0.5, 3.0), it is judged as suspected abnormality.
[0185] It is important to observe the CD4 / CD8 ratio. If the CD4 / CD8 ratio is unbalanced, greater than 10:1 or less than 1:10, a large expansion of CD8+ T cells accompanied by downregulation of CD7 expression can be seen during viral infection, so pay attention to identification;
[0186] (3) Observe the expression of CD5 / CD7 / CD2 in CD3+T lymphocytes and NK lymphocytes through CD3 / CD5 / CD7 / CD2.
[0187] Among abnormal pan-T cell antigen expression, abnormal expression of CD3, CD5, and CD7 is more common, while abnormal expression of CD2 is relatively rare. Antigen expression is often reduced or absent, and a small number of patients may show upregulated antigen expression;
[0188] (4) Observe the ratio of T lymphocytes / NK lymphocytes to lymphocytes, the ratio of different T lymphocyte subsets CD4+CD8+ / CD4-CD8- / CD4-CD8+ / CD4+CD8-, and the ratio of CD3+CD4+T lymphocytes / CD3+CD8+T lymphocytes through the lymphocyte gate.
[0189] Normally, T cells account for 50-70%, NKT cells 20-30%, and NK cells 10-40%. This proportion may be elevated in T-NHL and NK-NHL. Using a logical lymphocyte gate, observe the CD3 / CD56 graph, where CD3+ indicates T cells, CD3+CD56+ indicates NKT cells, and CD3-CD56+ indicates NK cells, displaying the proportion of cells within the gate.
[0190] Among them, the cells to be tested were cut off from the adhesion bodies and cell fragments and the CD45-SS detection diagram was as follows Figure 21 As shown, Figure 21 a) is the detection image after the adhesion bodies of the cells to be tested are cut off; Figure 21 b) is a detection image after cutting away adhesion bodies and cell fragments; Figure 21 c) is the CD45-SS detection diagram of the cells to be tested. The detection diagram of the proportion of T cells and NK cells in lymphocytes is as follows Figure 22 As shown, Figure 22 a) is the CD3 positive cell detection diagram; Figure 22 b) is the detection diagram of the proportion of CD3 positive cells in lymphocytes; Figure 22 c) Detection chart of CD3 positive T cells, NKT cells, and the proportion of NK cells in lymphocytes. Detection chart of T cell CD4 and CD8 development as shown Figure 23 As shown, Figure 23 a) is the detection diagram of T cell CD4 expression; Figure 23 b) is the detection diagram of T cell CD8 expression; Figure 23 c) is a detection chart of the proportion of CD4+CD8+T cells, CD4+CD8-T cells, CD4-CD8+T cells and CD4-CD8+T cells in T cells. The detection chart of CD7, CD5 and CD2 development of T cells and NK cells is as follows Figure 24 As shown, Figure 24 a) is the detection diagram of CD7 expression in T cells and NK cells; Figure 24 b) is the detection graph of CD5 expression in T cells and NK cells; Figure 24 c) is the detection diagram of CD2 expression of T cells and NK cells.
[0191] 2. Analyze the expression of related antigens in tube 2
[0192] (1) FS INT and FS PEAK were combined to remove adhesions, CD45-FS was used to remove cell fragments, and CD45-SS was used to roughly divide the cells to be tested into five gates: Granulocytes, Monocytes, Lymphocytes, CD45dim, and CD45neg.
[0193] (2) Circle the CD19+ population using the CD19+SS plot. Use the CD20-CD10 plot in the CD19+ gate to circle CD10-CD20+ mature B cells and CD10+CD20- B progenitor cells. Use the CD19+CD20+ lymphocyte gate to observe the proportion of B lymphocytes in the lymphocyte population. B progenitor cells are the precursors of mature B lymphocytes, meaning that B progenitor cells later develop into mature B lymphocytes.
[0194] (3) The overall Kappa / Lambda graph and the lymphocyte gate Kappa / Lambda graph were used to observe the expression of B lymphocyte membrane light chains, and the CD19-FS gate was set to observe the proportion of B lymphocytes in lymphocytes.
[0195] Normal B cells exhibit polyclonal expression of membrane light chains, with a Kappa / Lambda ratio of approximately 1 / 3-3, and the cell size is consistent with other lymphocytes. Abnormal B cells exhibit monoclonal expression of membrane light chains, with a Kappa / Lambda ratio outside the 1 / 3-3 range, and the cell size may appear larger than other lymphocytes.
[0196] (4) Using the CD19 / CD10 / CD20 / CD5 antibody combination, we observed the expression and development of CD10 / CD5 / CD20 on B lymphocytes.
[0197] Normal mature B lymphocyte phenotype is CD19 + CD20 + CD10 - CD5 - , may be accompanied by a small amount of CD5+ expression. Abnormal B cells will have abnormal expression of CD10 and CD5 and increased and decreased expression of CD20 / CD19. The normal B progenitor cell immunophenotype is CD19 + CD10 + CD20 - .
[0198] If the Kappa:Lambda ratio of B cells is <0.3 or the Kappa:Lambda ratio of B cells is >3.0, CD5+10-NH-B, CD5+CD10+NHL-B, CD5-CD10-NHL-B, and CD5-CD10+NHL-B can be preliminarily screened based on the expression of CD5 and CD10; the prediction results can be output as: suspected CD5+CD10- B-cell lymphoma, CD5-CD10- B-cell lymphoma, CD5+CD10+ B-cell lymphoma, or CD5-CD10+ B-cell lymphoma.
[0199] The development of B cells and the proportion of lymphocytes in the cells to be tested are shown in the figure below. Figure 25As shown, Figure 25 a) is a detection diagram of CD19 positive cells to be tested; Figure 25 b) is a diagram for detecting the developmental patterns of CD10 and CD20 in B progenitor cells and B cells; Figure 25 c) is a test chart for the ratio of B cells to lymphocytes. The test chart for B cell immunophenotype (expression of CD5, CD20, CD10 and cell membrane light chains Kappa and Lambda) in the cells to be tested is shown in the figure below. Figure 26 As shown, Figure 26 a) is a graph showing the expression of CD5 in B cells to be tested; Figure 26 b) is the detection diagram of CD20 expression on B cells; Figure 26 c) CD10 expression on B cells; Figure 26 d) is the detection diagram of the expression of B cell membrane light chains Kappa and Lambda.
[0200] Compared with the prediction system provided in Example 2, the prediction system provided in this comparative example has the following limitations:
[0201] (1) Analysis tube 1 can only observe T lymphocytes and NK lymphocytes, but not B lymphocytes. Analysis tube 2 can only observe B lymphocytes, but not T lymphocytes and NK lymphocytes. Therefore, when predicting lymphoma immunophenotyping, the single-tube solution of this comparative example can only observe one type or category of disease.
[0202] (2) Traditional two-tube analysis method: two tubes are repeatedly gated for antibodies CD45 and cross-antigen antibodies abnormally expressed by B and T lineages, such as CD5 / CD10.
[0203] (3) Only the expression of CD5 / CD10 / CD20 / CD19 in the CD34-positive population can be observed, and it cannot be combined with the expression of T-lineage-related antibodies CD2 / CD7 / CD56.

[0209] 2. Precision test: In order to evaluate the magnitude of random errors in the measurement results, the following experiments were performed: (1) Intra-batch repeat tests and inter-batch repeat tests, as follows:
[0210] (1) Intra-batch repeat test: Anticoagulated blood samples from bone marrow of healthy subjects were tested 10 times in a row using two different processes within the same time period. Details are shown in Tables 4-1 and 4-2 below.
[0211] Table 4-1
[0212]
[0213] Table 4-2
[0214]
[0215] (2) Repeated testing: Anticoagulated bone marrow samples from healthy individuals were tested once daily using both methods at the same time of day for 10 consecutive days. Details are shown in Tables 5-1 and 5-2 below.

[0217]
[0218] Table 5-2
[0219]
[0220] 3. Stability test: After the specimen is prepared, detect abnormalities every 8 hours. The analysis results at different storage times within 24 hours can be examined, as shown in Table 6.
