We developed a high-quality human 45-color panel, for comprehensive characterization of major cell lineages present in circulation including T cells, γδ T cells, NKT-like cells, B cells, NK cells, monocytes, basophils, dendritic cells, and ILCs. Assay optimization steps are described in detail to ensure that each marker in the panel was optimally resolved. In addition, we highlight the outstanding discernment of cell activation, exhaustion, memory, and differentiation states of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells using this 45-color panel. The panel enabled an in-depth description of very distinct phenotypes associated with the complexity of the T cell memory response. Furthermore, we present how this panel can be effectively used for cell sorting on instruments with a similar optical layout to achieve the same level of resolution. Functional evaluation of sorted specific rare cell subsets demonstrated significantly different patterns of immunological responses to stimulation, supporting functional and phenotypic differences within the T cell memory subsets. In summary, the combination of full spectrum profiling technology and careful assay design and optimization results in a high resolution multiparametric 45-color assay.

Here, we demonstrate a novel multi-pass flow cytometry approach to address this long-standing problem. Our technique utilizes individual cell barcoding with laser particles, enabling sequential analysis of the same cells with single-cell resolution maintained. Chemically-fragile protein markers and their fluorochrome conjugates are measured prior to destructive sample processing and adjoined to subsequent measurements of intracellular markers after fixation and permeabilization. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our technique in accurately measuring intracellular FPs and methanol-sensitive antigens and fluorophores, along with various surface and intracellular markers.

High-dimensional flow cytometry (HDFCM) holds the promise to enhance the exploratory potential beyond traditional, targeted biomarker strategies. However, the increased complexity of HDFCM poses several challenges, which need to be addressed in order to fully leverage its potential and to align with current regulatory requirements in clinical flow cytometry. These challenges include among others extended timelines for assay development and validation, the necessity for extensive knowledge in HDFCM, and sophisticated data analysis strategies. However, no guidelines exist on how to manage such challenges in adopting clinical HDFCM. Our CYTO 2024 workshop “Potential and challenges of clinical high-dimensional flow cytometry” aimed to find consensus across the pharmaceutical industry and broader scientific community on the overall benefits and most urgent challenges of HDFCM in clinical trials. Here, we summarize the insights we gained from our workshop. While this report does not provide a blueprint, it is a first step in defining and summarizing the most pressing challenges in implementing HDFCM in clinical trials. Furthermore, we compile current efforts with the goal to overcome some of these challenges.

Since its publication, the panel has been adopted in some laboratories (personal communications and [<span>2, 3</span>]). Throughout its adoption, challenges that limited the ability to use the full panel have been reported.</p><p>The challenges can be grouped into two main categories: reagent availability and reagent performance. Concerning reagent availability, CD20 Pacific Orange™ (Thermo Fisher Cat. MHCD2030), CD25 Phycoerythrin (PE) Alexa Fluor™ 700 (Thermo Fisher Cat. MHCD2524), CD24 PE-Alexa Fluor™ 610 (Thermo Fisher Cat. MHCD2422), and CD127 Allophycocyanin (APC) R700 (BD Biosciences Cat. 565185) have been reported to be often on back order. Regarding reagent performance, HLA-DR PE/Fire™ 810 (Biolegend Cat. 307683) and TCRγδ Peridinin-Chlorophyll-Protein (PerCP) eFluor® 710 (Thermo Fisher Cat. 46–9959-42), have shown technical issues, due to tandem degradation or unexpected spectrum signatures, respectively. Finally, it was also documented that spread between fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) and Brilliant™ Blue (BB) BB515, the most challenging fluorochrome combination in the panel (similarity index 0.98; spillover spread value of BB515 into FITC 29), was not always consistent with the one reported in the publication, making it difficult to use that fluorochrome pair.</p><p>These issues were investigated, and solutions were identified to enable the use of the full 40-color panel without compromises in performance. First, regarding the PE/Fire 810 tandem stability, the manufacturer stated the fluorochrome meets specifications and the authors did not observe tandem degradation when the reagent was used before its expiration date. To better understand the issues reported by the readership, a stability test was performed with exposure to fixation and light. No stability issues were observed with fixation with paraformaldehyde (1% or 4% in Phosphate buffered saline (PBS)). However, changes in the PE/Fire 810 spectrum and higher spillover values into PE were observed starting at 2 h of light exposure. Tandem breakdown can have serious impacts on the data, in this case specifically with any PE conjugates. For comparison, the PE/Cyanine 7 (Cy7) reagent included in the panel was tested in parallel and exhibited a more stable behavior <b>(</b>Figure 1A<b>).</b> The data suggests that PE/Fire 810 might need to be handled with even more care than other tandems. Next, multiple spectra were observed when using TCRγδ PerCP-eFluor710, without consistency across lots <b>(</b>Figure 1B<b>).</b> Data unmixing and TCRγδ population resolution are highly impacted by the presence of multiple spectra <b>(</b>Figure 1C<b>).</b> Finally, we observed that the use of BB515 and FITC in combination lea","PeriodicalId":11068,"journal":{"name":"Cytometry Part A","volume":"105 11","pages":"791-799"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/cyto.a.24898","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142249534","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
