Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of immunological detection, and in particular relates to an antibody composition for detecting blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cells, a kit and applications thereof. Background Art
[0002] Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) is a hematologic malignancy composed of immature cells that have differentiated into plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs). The median survival is less than two years, and its clinical manifestations are widely heterogeneous and unique. Clinically, this disease is often poorly understood and, due to its morphological similarities to acute myeloid leukemia and acute lymphoblastic leukemia, it is difficult to differentiate. Consequently, it is often misdiagnosed as other diseases, such as acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and T-lymphoblastic lymphoma.
[0003] The diagnosis of BPDCN was previously primarily based on histopathology and histochemistry, but histochemistry is slow to produce results and cannot simultaneously localize multiple markers, resulting in a certain misdiagnosis rate. The WHO 2022 Classification of Lymphoid and Hematopoietic Tissue Neoplasms newly proposed a diagnostic basis based on immunophenotypic markers as follows: expected positive markers include CD123, CD4, CD56, CD303, CD304, TCF4, and TCL1; expected negative markers include CD3, CD14, CD19, CD34, lysozyme, and MPO. The diagnosis method is based on the expression of CD123 and pDCs or the expression of any three pDC markers. Differential diagnosis from AML is particularly crucial. Some cases of AML can show overlap with the clinical, morphological, and immunophenotypic features of BPDCN. In this case, a comprehensive differential diagnosis based on the absence of pDC markers and lineage-specific markers is necessary.
[0004] However, due to the uneven technical capabilities of flow cytometry platforms in different hospitals in China, the antibody combinations, experimental operations and data analysis processes for screening blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) diseases are different, which is not conducive to the accuracy of BPDCN detection results.

[0148] In the second group of antibodies: CD123+CD33- double labeling locking: CD123 (IL-3Rα) is the core marker of BPDCN (sensitivity > 95%). Co-labeling with CD33 (myeloid marker) can exclude CD123+AML (such as M0 / M5 subtypes). The typical phenotype of BPDCN is CD123++ / CD33- / CD34±, while AML-M5 is CD123+ / CD33++.
[0149] In the third group of antibodies: CD303 / CD304 / CD85j triple verification; CD303 (BDCA-2) and CD304 (BDCA-4) are pDC-specific markers, and combined with CD85j (LILRB1) can distinguish: BPDCN: CD303+ / CD304+ / CD85j+ (strong expression), reactive pDC proliferation: CD303+ / CD304+ / CD85j-, other pDC tumors: CD303± / CD304± / CD85j-.
[0150] 2. Cross-tube collaborative optimization of fluorescence channels:
[0151] Spectral interference control strategy: separate highly expressed antigens (such as CD56-PECy5.5) and low expressed antigens (such as CD8-APC700) into different tubes to avoid signal leakage; use long-wavelength dyes (APC750, PB) to label weakly expressed antigens (such as CD10, CD7) to reduce background interference.
[0152] Cross-tube compensation correction design: CD8-APC700 in the first set of antibodies and CD19-APC750 in the second set of antibodies are excited by different lasers (635nm vs. 488nm) to eliminate compensation dependency. CD56-PECy5.5 is used as an "anchor marker" throughout all tubes to achieve multi-tube data alignment.
[0153] 3. Upgrade of interference signal elimination system:
[0154] Lineage cross-expression exclusion module: The first group of antibodies excludes monocytic leukemia by co-labeling with CD36 (monocyte / erythroid marker) and CD14 (monocyte marker) (CD36+ / CD14+ vs BPDCN CD36- / CD14-); the fourth group of antibodies excludes B-ALL by combining CD10 and cCD22 (B lineage markers) (CD10+ / cCD22+ vs BPDCN CD10- / cCD22-).
[0155] Activation state interference suppression: remove nonspecific activation markers (such as CD71, CD64), introduce CD38 (plasma cell differentiation marker) and CD117 (stem cell factor receptor) for dynamic grouping, BPDCN: CD38- / CD117- (90% of cases), plasma cell neoplasms: CD38++ / CD117-, myeloid neoplasms: CD38± / CD117+.
[0156] Therefore, the antibody composition can quickly, simply and effectively exclude monocytes that are most easily confused with blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cells, and accurately detect tumor-related abnormal blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cells, thereby enabling rapid, accurate and comprehensive detection of tumor-related abnormal blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cells at one time, greatly improving the accuracy of BPDCN detection.
[0157] The present invention is described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0158] Example 1 Screening of Antibody Compositions for Detecting Blastic Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells
[0159] In this embodiment, in the detection of blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cells, due to the epitope homology between the surface markers of blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cells (such as CD123, CD303, etc.) and other immune cells (such as monocytes and lymphocytes), traditional antibodies are prone to cross-reaction. The inventors have obtained the following antibodies for the detection of blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cells through long-term research and analysis, and after a large number of research and screening experiments. The fluorescent labeling and dosage of the relevant monoclonal antibodies in the antibodies are shown in Table 1.
[0160] Table 1
[0161]
[0162]
[0163]
[0164]
[0165] Based on the antibodies provided in Table 1, three antibody panels were designed in this example to conduct three rounds of detection and screening. The antibodies used in the three antibody panels are shown in Table 2.
[0166] Table 2
[0167]
[0168]
[0169]
[0170] Twenty clinically confirmed BPDCN and 20 non-BPDCN cases were used for testing using the above screening protocol. The specific testing process is as follows:
[0171] 1. Prepare the membrane antibodies (excluding intracellular antibodies) in the antibody combination in Table 2. The specific liquid addition amounts are shown in Table 1.
[0172] 2. Sample processing.
[0173] The concentration of the sample to be tested was adjusted to 1×10 6 / ml to prepare a single-cell suspension.
[0174] 3. Sample testing.
[0175] (1) Take the flow cytometry tubes, mark the corresponding test round numbers and corresponding tube numbers 1, 2, 3, etc., add the corresponding prepared membrane antibodies, and then add 100 μl of the suspension in step 2, vortex and shake to mix, and incubate at room temperature in the dark for 15 minutes.
[0176] (2) Add 400 μl of Bc hemolysin to each of the incubated flow tubes, vortex and shake, and let it stand until the hemolysis is clear. After the hemolysis is clear, centrifuge flow tubes 1 and 2 at 1500 r / min for 5 minutes, discard the supernatant, and perform intracellular antibody detection on the flow tubes that need to add intracellular antibodies according to the following steps; add 2 ml of calf serum to the remaining flow tubes, vortex and shake, centrifuge at 1500 r / min for 5 minutes, discard the supernatant, and add 400 μl of 1% paraformaldehyde to resuspend.
[0177] (3) Intracellular antibody experimental operation: After the cell surface marker staining is completed according to the above (1, 2), 450uL of 1XFACS membrane permeabilization reagent is added, mixed and incubated in the dark for 5 minutes, and then washed with PBS and the supernatant is discarded. Anti-intracellular fluorescent antibodies (TdT, MPO, cCD3, cCD22) are added according to the above antibody amount and incubated in the dark at room temperature for 30 minutes. 2ml of calf serum is added, vortexed, centrifuged at 1500r / min for 5 minutes, the supernatant is discarded, and 400μl of 1% paraformaldehyde is added for resuspending.
[0178] (4) Beckman Coulter Navios ten-color flow cytometer was used to detect the flow tubes and analyze their immunophenotype.
[0179] 4. Data analysis.
[0180] (1) Establish a template for the antibody expression pattern of healthy people
[0181] First, based on the flow cytometry test results of 20 normal control cell populations, the cells were grouped by setting a gate, preferably using CD45-SSC (side scattered light) to set the gate, circle the target cell population, and then analyze the expression of each fluorescent antibody in this cell population. The following antibody pairs were selected: CD56-CD45, CD56-CD36, CD56-CD4, CD56-CD7, CD56-CD5, CD56-CD3, CD56-CD2, CD14-CD36, CD3-CD5, CD3-CD2, CD3-CD7, CD3-CD4, CD3-CD8, CD8-CD4, CD3-CD56, CD56-HLA-DR, CD56-CD33, CD56-CD38, CD56-CD117 , CD56-CD123, CD56-CD19, CD34-HLA-DR, CD34-CD45, CD34-CD117, CD34-CD33, CD34-CD38, CD34-CD123, CD34-CD56, CD34-CD19, HLA-DR-CD33, CD56-CD303, CD56-C D304, CD56-CD15, CD56-CD13, CD56-CD85j, CD56-CD64, CD56-CD41, CD15-CD13, CD64-CD85j, CD41-CD45, CD56-TdT, CD56-MPO, CD56-cCD22, CD56-cCD3, CD56-CD10.
[0182] (2) Establish the antibody expression pattern of the cells to be tested
[0183] Obtain flow cytometry test result data of the cells to be tested, set gates to group the cells according to the above-mentioned antibody expression pattern of the normal control population, circle the target cell population, and then analyze the expression of each fluorescent antibody in the target cell population according to the method of the antibody expression pattern of the normal control population to obtain the antibody expression pattern of the cells to be tested.
[0184] (3) Analyze the antibody expression pattern of the cells to be tested
[0185] If the antibody expression pattern of the cells to be tested falls within the antibody expression pattern template of the normal control population, the cells to be tested are determined to be a cell population with normal immunophenotype;
[0186] If the antibody expression pattern of the cells to be tested does not fall within the antibody expression pattern template of the normal control population, the cells to be tested are determined to be BPDCN cells.
[0187] The test results are shown in Table 3 below:
[0188] Table 3
[0189]
[0190] Comparative analysis of the screening data in Table 3 shows that the antibody panel in round 3 has better targeting than other antibody panels and can accurately distinguish BPDCN from non-BPDCN. Further research on this antibody panel will be conducted in the future.
[0191] The antibody group includes a first group of antibodies, a second group of antibodies, a third group of antibodies and a fourth group of antibodies;
[0192] The first panel of antibodies includes CD36, CD4, CD14, CD56, CD5, CD3, CD8, CD2, CD7, and CD45 antibodies;
[0193] The second group of antibodies includes: HLA-DR, CD33, CD34, CD56, CD117, CD123, CD19, CD38 and CD45 antibodies;
[0194] The third group of antibodies includes: CD303, CD304, CD41, CD56, CD13, CD85j, CD64, CD15 and CD45 antibodies;
[0195] The fourth group of antibodies includes: TdT, MPO, CD56, cCD3, CD10, cCD22 and CD45 antibodies.
[0196] Example 2 System and Method for Detecting Blastic Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells
[0197] This embodiment provides a system for detecting blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cells, comprising:
[0198] A detection module, wherein the detection module performs flow cytometry detection on the cells to be detected;
[0199] a data acquisition module, which acquires flow cytometry detection result data of cells to be tested stained with the third round of antibody composition of Example 1;
[0200] The data analysis module analyzes the acquired data and determines whether the acquired cells are blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cells according to predetermined analysis logic and judgment criteria.
[0201] The specific workflow for detecting blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cells using the above system of this embodiment is as follows:
[0202] 1. Prepare the membrane antibodies (excluding intracellular antibodies) in the third round of antibody combination in Table 2 (i.e., the present invention). The specific liquid addition amounts are shown in Table 1.
[0203] 2. Sample processing.
[0204] The concentration of the sample to be tested was adjusted to 1×10 6 / ml to prepare a single-cell suspension.

[0207] (2) Add 400 μl of Bc hemolysin to each of the incubated flow tubes, vortex and shake, and let it stand until the hemolysis is clear. After the hemolysis is clear, centrifuge flow tubes 1 and 2 at 1500 r / min for 5 minutes, discard the supernatant, and perform intracellular antibody detection on the flow tubes that need to add intracellular antibodies according to the following steps; add 2 ml of calf serum to the remaining flow tubes, vortex and shake, centrifuge at 1500 r / min for 5 minutes, discard the supernatant, and add 400 μl of 1% paraformaldehyde to resuspend.
[0208] (3) Intracellular antibody experimental operation: After the cell surface marker staining is completed according to the above (1, 2), 450uL of 1XFACS membrane permeabilization reagent is added, mixed and incubated in the dark for 5 minutes, and then washed with PBS and the supernatant is discarded.

[0209] (4) Beckman Coulter Navios ten-color flow cytometer was used to detect the flow tubes and analyze their immunophenotype.
[0210] Example 3 Verification of the Accuracy of Antibody Composition Detection
[0211] The detection method of Example 2 was used to detect tumor cells in two test cells (one BPDCN sample and one non-BPDCN AML-M5 control sample), and antibody expression pattern analysis was performed to verify the accuracy of the detection results of the detection method of the present invention.
[0212] 1. BPDCN Sample
[0213] This sample is a bone marrow fluid sample from a clinically confirmed case of BPDCN. The antibody expression pattern was analyzed according to the following steps:
[0214] Obtain the flow cytometry test result data of the sample to be tested. Use CD45-SSC (side scattered light) to set the gate, and divide the cell population into 5 areas according to the expression of CD45-SSC, namely granulocyte area (middle upper area in the figure), monocyte area (right upper area in the figure), lymphocyte area (right lower area in the figure), CD45neg area (left lower area in the figure) and CD45dim area (middle lower area in the figure) 5 areas (as shown in the figure).

[0245] Figure 32 The figure shows the scatter plot of CD56-CD303 expression in all nucleated cells. It can be seen from the figure that CD56+ abnormal cells are CD303 negative (no expression), indicating that they are not normal mature pDC cells.

[0249] Figure 36 The figure shows the scatter plot of CD56-CD85j expression in all nucleated cells. It can be seen from the figure that CD56+ abnormal cells are CD85j positive (expression), suggesting that they are pDCs or cells of myeloid origin.
[0250] Figure 37The scatter plot shows the expression of CD56 and CD64 in all nucleated cells. The abnormal CD56+ cells are negative for CD64 (no expression), which means that AML-M5 can be ruled out.

[0253] Figure 40 The figure shows the scatter plot of CD64-CD85j expression in all nucleated cells. It can be seen from the figure that abnormal cells are CD85j positive and CD64 negative (no expression). Normal granulocyte and monocytic cells expressing CD85j and CD64 can be seen.
[0254] Figure 41 The figure is a scatter plot of CD41-CD45 expression in all nucleated cells, from which CD41-expressing platelets can be seen (S-+ area in the figure).
[0255] Figure 42 The scatter plot shows the expression of CD56-TdT in all nucleated cells. It can be seen from the figure that CD56+ abnormal cells are TdT positive (expression), indicating that the abnormal cells are derived from early primitive cells.
[0256] Figure 43 This is a scatter plot of CD56-MPO expression in all nucleated cells. The figure shows that CD56+ abnormal cells are MPO-negative (no expression). This indicates that the abnormal cells are MPO-negative, and combined with the absence of CD13 / CD64 / CD15 / CD41 expression, AML-M1 / M2 / M3 / M4 / M5 / M7 can be excluded.
[0257] Figure 44 The scatter plot shows the expression of CD56-cCD22 in all nucleated cells. It can be seen from the figure that CD56+ abnormal cells are cCD22 negative (no expression). Combined with the lack of CD19 expression, B-ALL is excluded.
[0258] Figure 45 The scatter plot shows the expression of CD56-cCD3 in all nucleated cells. It can be seen from the figure that CD56+ abnormal cells are cCD3 negative (no expression), which excludes T-ALL.
[0259] Figure 46 This is a scatter plot of the CD56-CD10 expression of all nucleated cells. It can be seen from the figure that a small number of CD56+ abnormal cells are CD10 positive (a small amount of expression).
[0260] The abnormal cells in this sample expressed CD4, CD123, CD56, CD304, CD36, CD38, CD85j, and HLA-DR, with limited expression of CD7 and CD10. MPO, cCD22, cCD3, CD2, CD3, CD5, CD8, CD13, CD14, CD15, CD41, CD64, and CD19 were absent, excluding AML / B-ALL / T-ALL and precursor NK cell tumors. According to the WHO 2022 Classification of Lymphoid and Hematopoietic Tumors, the diagnostic basis for immunophenotyping is as follows: expected positive markers include CD123, CD4, CD56, CD303, CD304, TCF4, and TCL1, and expected negative markers include CD3, CD14, CD19, CD34, lysozyme, and MPO. The diagnosis is based on the expression of CD123 and pDC, or any three pDC markers. This specimen expressed four positive indicators: CD4, CD123, CD56, and CD304. The expected negative markers were CD3, CD14, CD19, CD34, lysozyme (monocyte marker: this test uses CD64 / CD13 / CD15 as a substitute), and MPO, all of which were negative. This is consistent with the diagnosis of blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN), which is consistent with the clinical diagnosis.
[0261] 2. Non-BPDCN AML-M5 control samples
[0262] This sample is a control bone marrow fluid specimen from a clinically confirmed non-BPDCN AML-M5. Antibody expression pattern analysis was performed using the following steps:
[0263] Obtain the flow cytometry test result data of the sample to be tested. Use CD45-SSC (side scattered light) to set the gate, and divide the cell population into 5 areas according to the expression of CD45-SSC, namely granulocyte area (middle upper area in the figure), monocyte area (right upper area in the figure), lymphocyte area (right lower area in the figure), CD45neg area (left lower area in the figure) and CD45dim area (middle lower area in the figure) 5 areas (as shown in the figure).

[0309] The abnormal cells in this sample expressed CD4, CD123, CD56, CD64, CD33, CD36, CD38, CD85j, and HLA-DR, and partially expressed MPO, CD13, CD14, and CD15. They did not express CD7, CD10, cCD22, cCD3, CD2, CD3, CD5, CD8, CD41, CD19, CD303, and CD304, excluding the diagnosis of BPDCN / B-ALL / T-ALL / precursor NK tumors. According to the WHO 2022 Classification of Lymphoid and Hematopoietic Tumors, the diagnostic basis for immunophenotyping is as follows: expected positive markers include CD123, CD4, CD56, CD303, CD304, TCF4, and TCL1, and expected negative markers include CD3, CD14, CD19, CD34, lysozyme, and MPO. The diagnosis is based on the expression of CD123 and pDC, or any three pDC markers. This specimen expressed three positive indicators: CD4, CD123, and CD56, which can be easily confused with BPDCN. However, the expected negative markers included CD3, CD14, CD19, CD34, lysozyme (monocyte marker: this test uses CD64 / CD13 / CD15 instead), and MPO was expressed in the monocyte marker and MPO. This does not meet the diagnostic requirements of BPDCN immune markers and is not consistent with the diagnosis of BPDCN. Taking into account the expression of all antibody markers in this protocol, the sample results in this case are consistent with AML-M5, which is consistent with the clinical diagnosis.
[0310] The results of this example show that the antibody composition designed by the present invention uses the CD56+CD45dim+ region as the main target cell population, and covers CD4, CD123, CD36, CD303, CD304, CD85j, CD64, CD19, CD7, CD13, CD33, CD34, CD117, cCD22, CCD3, TdT, MPO and other antibodies to identify BPDCN cells. The antibody composition can exclude monocytes that are easily confused with BPDCN cells, accurately distinguish BPDCN cells from AML cells, and thus accurately detect tumorous abnormal BPDCN cells.
