Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, and in particular, relates to a method for sorting immune cells, and more particularly, to a method for sorting peripheral blood immune cell subtypes. Background Art
[0002] Immune cells are cells that make up the immune system. They play an important role in protecting the body from pathogens (such as bacteria, viruses, parasites) and foreign substances, removing damaged or cancerous cells, and maintaining the stability of the body's internal environment. The types of immune cells can be divided into two categories according to their functions and sources: innate immune cells and adaptive immune cells. These two major categories of immune cells can be divided into many cell subtypes. These immune cell subtypes each have their own functions in the immune system and play a specific role. Therefore, the typing and detection of immune cells provides important information for understanding and monitoring the functions of the immune system, and plays a key role in clinical diagnosis, treatment monitoring, disease research, and drug development. The typing and sorting of immune cells also provides research materials and experimental basis for the subsequent acquisition of multi-omics data and the multi-angle analysis of the mechanism of disease and drug action. It is an indispensable technical means in modern medicine and biological research. Only by sorting out accurate, high-purity, and rich immune cell subtypes can we better provide the best research materials for the pathogenicity and treatment mechanisms of subsequent diseases caused by abnormal immune systems.
[0003] Peripheral blood samples are the most commonly used and most easily accessible clinical resources in clinical pathology research. However, clinical detection of peripheral blood immune cells is limited to a few specific markers, and the detection range is not comprehensive enough. Only by testing or sorting as many immune cell types as possible to determine the multi-omics parameters of cells can the body's immune system be more comprehensively monitored and intervention measures be taken in a timely manner. Therefore, the simultaneous detection of multiple immune cell subtypes based on blood is also urgently needed for clinical testing.
[0004] Therefore, there is a need in the art for a method that can efficiently use blood samples to sort out as many immune cell subtypes as possible for use in the monitoring or testing of immune cells in clinical peripheral blood and in the multi-omics analysis of cells in the scientific research field.

[0099] The present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments and examples, and the advantages and various effects of the present invention will be more clearly presented. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that these specific embodiments and examples are used to illustrate the present invention, rather than to limit the present invention.
[0100] In the following examples, the present invention uses lymphocyte separation solution (GE Healthcare), red blood cell lysis solution (BDPharm Lyse TM ), fluorescently labeled antibody reagents (both BioLegend and BD used) as separation reagents, and flow cytometer (BD FACSAria SORP) as separation instrument, sorting experiments were carried out on all or part of the cell types of the 24 immune cells.
[0101] Example 1: Isolation of 8 T cell subtypes from peripheral blood samples of patients with multiple myeloma
[0102] This embodiment provides a method for sorting T cell subtypes from peripheral blood samples of multiple myeloma patients. The sample used in this embodiment is about 4 mL of the remaining peripheral blood sample of multiple myeloma patients collected in clinical EDTA anticoagulation tubes. The specific operation steps are:
[0103] 1. Take the peripheral blood sample out of the anticoagulant tube and mix it evenly with an equal volume of 1× PBS solution; then transfer it to the surface of the lymphocyte separation solution and immediately perform density gradient centrifugation. The centrifugation conditions are: room temperature, speed 350g, 30 minutes, and the acceleration and deceleration gears of the centrifuge are both set to "3".
[0104] 2. After centrifugation, the sample can be seen to be stratified. Remove the buffy coat layer, i.e. PBMC, wash it twice with PBS and count the cells. Centrifuge at 300g for 5 minutes and remove the PBS supernatant.
[0105] 3. Resuspend PBMC in flow cytometry staining solution, add Fc blocking agent, mix well, and incubate in the dark for 10 minutes.
[0106] 4. Divide the above PBMCs into two equal parts for flow antibody staining, and control the volume of each part at about 100 μL. Add flow antibodies CD45-APC / Cy7, CD3-FITC, CD4-PE, CD25-BV421, CD127-PE / DZ594, CCR6-APC, CCR4-PE / Cy7, and CXCR3-BV510 to the first part; add flow antibodies CD45-APC / Cy7, CD3-FITC, CD4-PE, CD8-PE / Cy7, CCR7-BV510, CD45RA-APC, and CD45RO-PE / DZ594 to the second part. Incubate at room temperature away from light for 15-20 minutes.
[0107] 5. If there are red blood cells mixed in the PBMC, add red blood cell lysis buffer, incubate for several minutes in the dark, add 2 times the volume of PBS solution to terminate the reaction, centrifuge at 300g for 5 minutes, and discard the supernatant.
[0108] 6. Use more than 2 mL of staining solution to wash away excess antibodies in the system.
[0109] 7. Take 10 7 Resuspend PBMCs at a concentration of 100 μL / mL, with a total volume of no less than 500 μL. Add 5 μL 7-AAD and sort them on the machine after 5-10 minutes.
[0110] The results are shown as Figure 1 ,Treg, Th1, Th2, Th17, T8 Eight T cell subsets, including T8 CM, T8 EM, and T8EMRA, were sorted out simultaneously in one experiment, indicating that eight types of T cells can be accurately and efficiently sorted out from limited clinical residual samples. This embodiment sorted out a total of five clinical residual samples, and the number of cells and the corresponding protein amount of each cell type were counted. The eight cell subsets sorted out in this embodiment were subsequently used as proteomics experimental materials, and 4030, 3979, 3968, and 3957 proteins were identified from the four T cell subtypes of Treg, Th1, Th2, and Th17, respectively. 4063, 3843, 4138, and 4078 proteins were identified in the four T cell subtypes, T8 CM, T8 EM, and T8 EMRA, respectively.
