چکیده

Background The Cancer Immunotherapy Trials Network has initiated several clinical trials utilizing T cell growth factors such as IL-15 and IL-7. In support of these trials, we have developed and conducted precision testing of a 12-color flow cytometric assay to characterize the surface markers present on T cells in fresh whole blood and among cryopreserved peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC).

Whole blood capcellia CD4/CD8 immunoassay for enumeration of CD4+ and CD8+ peripheral T lymphocytes.

We evaluated the Whole Blood Capcellia(R) CD4/CD8, an immunoenzymatic method that provides absolute counts of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in peripheral blood. The assay is based on the separation of T cells by use of an anti-CD2 magnetic bead suspension, followed by reaction of the CD4 or CD8 molecules with the corresponding monoclonal antibody coupled to peroxidase. CD4-positive monocytes were exclu...

Quantification and Optimization of Candida albicans DNA in Blood Samples Using Real- Time PCR

Background: Candida albicans (C. albicans) is a major cause of candidaemia in people with impaired immunity. Blood culture is a “gold standard” for candidaemia detection but is time-consuming and relatively insensitive. We established a real-time PCR assay for C. albicans detection in blood by LightCycler PCR and melting curve analysis. Methods: Five milliliter blood samples from...

Immunophenotyping of Nodal Peripheral T-cell Lymphomas and its Association with Epstein-Barr Virus

Background: Immunophenotyping in the rare group of nodal Peripheral T-cell Lymphomas (PTCL) exposes interesting features such as T-cell marker downregulation and paradoxically, the presence of reactive, clustered large-sized CD20 positive B-cells (B-cell proliferation). Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has been suggested as a putative etiology in pathogenesis of B-cell lymphoma. We aimed to review the ...

Development of a Modular Assay for Detailed Immunophenotyping of Peripheral Human Whole Blood Samples by Multicolor Flow Cytometry

The monitoring of immune cells gained great significance in prognosis and prediction of therapy responses. For analyzing blood samples, the multicolor flow cytometry has become the method of choice as it combines high specificity on single cell level with multiple parameters and high throughput. Here, we present a modular assay for the detailed immunophenotyping of blood (DIoB) that was optimiz...

The sample processing time interval as an influential factor in flow cytometry analysis of lymphocyte subsets.

The objective of this paper is to propose a protocol to analyze blood samples in yellow fever 17DD vaccinated which developed serious adverse events. We investigated whether or not the time between sample collection and sample processing could interfere in lymphocyte subset percentage, for it is often impossible to analyze blood samples immediately after collection due to transport delay from c...
