Abstract
Background
Measurement of minimal/measurable residual disease (MRD) in B-lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (B-ALL) has become a routine clinical evaluation tool and remains the strongest predictor of treatment outcome. In recent years, new targeted anti-CD19 and anti-CD22 antibody-based and cellular therapies have revolutionized the treatment of the high-risk B-ALL. The new treatments raise challenges for diagnostic flow cytometry, which relies on the presence of specific surface antigens to identify the population of interest. So far, reported flow cytometry-based assays are developed to either achieve a deeper MRD level or to accommodate the loss of surface antigens post-target therapies, but not both.
Methods
We developed a single tube flow cytometry assay (14-color-16-parameters). The method was validated using 94 clinical samples as well as spike-in and replicate experiments.
Results
The assay was well suited for monitoring response to targeted therapies and reached a sensitivity below 10−5 with acceptable precision (coefficient of variation < 20%), accuracy, and interobserver variability (κ = 1).
Conclusions
The assay allows for sensitive disease detection of B-ALL MRD independent of CD19 and CD22 expression and allows uniform analysis of samples regardless of anti-CD19 and CD22 therapy.
期刊介绍:
Cytometry Part B: Clinical Cytometry features original research reports, in-depth reviews and special issues that directly relate to and palpably impact clinical flow, mass and image-based cytometry. These may include clinical and translational investigations important in the diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic management of patients. Thus, we welcome research papers from various disciplines related [but not limited to] hematopathologists, hematologists, immunologists and cell biologists with clinically relevant and innovative studies investigating individual-cell analytics and/or separations. In addition to the types of papers indicated above, we also welcome Letters to the Editor, describing case reports or important medical or technical topics relevant to our readership without the length and depth of a full original report.
