Project description:While dogs are increasingly being utilized as large-animal models of disease, important features of age-related immunosenescence in the dog have yet to be evaluated due to the lack of defined naïve vs. memory T lymphocyte phenotypes. We therefore performed multi-color flow cytometry on peripheral blood mononuclear cells from young and aged beagles, and determined the differential cytokine production by proposed memory subsets. CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes in aged dogs displayed increased cytokine production, and decreased proliferative capacity. Antibodies targeting CD45RA and CD62L, but less so CD28 or CD44, defined canine cells that consistently exhibited properties of naïve-, central memory-, effector memory-, and terminal effector-like CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocyte subsets. Older dogs demonstrated decreased frequencies of naïve-like CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes, and an increased frequency of terminal effector-like CD8+ T lymphocytes. Overall findings revealed that aged dogs displayed features of immunosenescence similar to those reported in other species.

Project description:Primary immunodeficiency diseases (PID) is a heterogeneous group of disorders caused by genetic defects of the immune system, which manifests clinically as recurrent infections, autoimmune diseases, or malignancies. Early detection of other PID remains a challenge, particularly in older children due to milder and less specific symptoms, a low level of clinician PID awareness and poor provision of hospital laboratories with appropriate devices. T-cell recombination excision circles (TREC) and kappa-deleting element recombination circle (KREC) in a dried blood spot and in peripheral blood using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) are used as a tool for severe combined immune deficiency but not in PID. They represent an attractive and cheap target for a more extensive use in clinical practice. This study aimed to assess TREC/KREC correspondence with lymphocyte subpopulations, measured by flow cytometry and evaluate correlations between TREC/KREC, lymphocyte subpopulations and immunoglobulins. We carried out analysis of data from children assessed by clinical immunologists at Speransky Children's Hospital, Moscow, Russia with suspected immunodeficiencies between May 2013 and August 2016. Peripheral blood samples were sent for TREC/KREC, flow cytometry (CD3, CD4, CD8, and CD19), IgA, IgM, and IgG analysis. A total of 839 samples were analyzed for using TREC assay and flow cytometry and 931 KREC/flow cytometry. TREC demonstrated an AUC of 0.73 (95% CI 0.70-0.76) for CD3, 0.74 (95% CI 0.71-0.77) for CD4 and 0.67 (95% CI 0.63-0.70) for CD8, respectively, while KREC demonstrated an AUC of 0.72 (95% CI 0.69-0.76) for CD19. Moderate correlation was found between the levels of TREC and CD4 (r = 0.55, p < 0.01) and KREC with CD19 (r = 0.56, p < 0.01). In this study, promising prediction models were tested. We found that TREC and KREC are able to moderately detect abnormal levels of individual lymphocyte subpopulations. Future research should assess associations between TREC/KREC and other lymphocyte subpopulations and approach TREC/KREC use in PID diagnosis.

Project description:Flow Cytometry is an analytical technology to simultaneously measure multiple markers per single cell. Ten thousands to millions of single cells can be measured per sample and each sample may contain a different number of cells. All samples may be bundled together, leading to a 'multi-set' structure. Many multivariate methods have been developed for Flow Cytometry data but none of them considers this structure in their quantitative handling of the data. The standard pre-processing used by existing multivariate methods provides models mainly influenced by the samples with more cells, while such a model should provide a balanced view of the biomedical information within all measurements. We propose an alternative 'multi-set' preprocessing that corrects for the difference in number of cells measured, balancing the relative importance of each multi-cell sample in the data while using all data collected from these expensive analyses. Moreover, one case example shows how multi-set pre-processing may benefit removal of undesired measurement-to-measurement variability and another where class-based multi-set pre-processing enhances the studied response upon comparison to the control reference samples. Our results show that adjusting data analysis algorithms to consider this multi-set structure may greatly benefit immunological insight and classification performance of Flow Cytometry data.

Project description:Monitoring changes in human immune cell populations such as lymphocytes, monocytes, and dendritic cells (DCs) during infectious diseases like human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is crucial. However, difficulties to identify rare or heterogeneous cell populations can be limiting. For example, to accurately measure DC subsets, eight flow cytometry parameters are ideal. The aim of this work was to analyze the phenotype of human lymphocyte, monocyte, and DC subsets using a single 12-color flow cytometry panel. After erythrocyte lysis, blood from healthy human volunteers was washed and labeled with a cocktail of 12 antibodies. Samples were analyzed on a Becton-Dickinson FACSAria equipped with three lasers. Data were compared with lineage-specific panels using 5-8 Ab combinations per lineage. Acquired data were analyzed using FlowJo software. Our 12-color panel allows for the identification of the following major subsets of circulating cells in a single tube: CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes, B lymphocytes, NK cells, NKT cells, monocyte subsets (CD14 and/or CD16), and five nonoverlapping HLA-DR+Lin- subsets: CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells, CD123+ plasmacytoid DC, and three subsets of CD11c+ myeloid DC expressing either CD16, CD1c (BDCA-1), or CD141 (BDCA-3). We have developed a single flow cytometry panel that allows for simultaneous detection of the lymphocyte and monocyte cell populations and all known DC subsets. Studying these major players of the immune system in one single panel may give us a broader view of the immune response during HIV infection and the ability to better define the role of individual cell types in Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) pathogenesis.

Project description:As checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapies gain traction among cancer researchers and clinicians, the need grows for assays that can definitively phenotype patient immune cells. Herein, we present an 8-color flow cytometry panel for lineage and immune checkpoint markers and validate it using healthy human donor peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Flow cytometry data was generated on a BD LSR Fortessa and supported by Luminex multiplex soluble immunoassay. Our data showed significant variation between donors at both baseline and different stages of activation, as well as a trend in increasing expression of checkpoint markers on stimulated CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells with time. Soluble immune checkpoint quantification assays revealed that LAG-3, TIM-3, CTLA-4, and PD-1 soluble isoforms are upregulated after stimulation. This 8-color flow cytometry panel, supported here by soluble immunoassay, can be used to identify and evaluate immune checkpoints on T-lymphocytes in cryopreserved human PBMC samples. This panel is ideal for characterizing checkpoint expression in clinical samples for which cryopreservation is necessary.

Project description:Immunophenotyping of vesicles, such as extracellular vesicles (EVs), is essential to understanding their origin and biological role. We previously described a custom-built flow analyzer that utilizes a gravity-driven flow, high numerical aperture objective, and micrometer-sized flow channels to reach the sensitivity needed for fast multidimensional analysis of the surface proteins of EVs, even down to the smallest EVs (e.g., ∼30-40 nm). It is difficult to flow focus small EVs, and thus, the transiting EVs exhibit a distribution in particle velocities due to the laminar flow. This distribution of vesicle velocities leads to potentially incorrect results when immunophenotyping nanometer-sized vesicles using cross-correlation analysis (Xcorr), as the order of appearance of the vesicles might not be the same at different spatially offset laser excitation regions. Here, we describe an alternative cross-correlation analysis strategy (Scorr), which uses information on particle transit time across the laser excitation beam width to improve multicolor colocalization in single-vesicle immunoprofiling. We tested the performance of the algorithm for colocalization analysis of multicolor nanobeads and EVs experimentally and via simulations and found that Scorr improved both the efficiency and accuracy of colocalization versus Xcorr. As shown from Monte Carlo simulations, Scorr provided an ∼1.2-4.7-fold increase in the number of colocalized peaks and ensured negligible colocalization of peaks. In silico results were in good agreement with experimental data, which showed an increase in colocalized peaks of ∼1.3-2.5-fold and ∼1.2-2-fold for multicolor beads and EVs, respectively.

Project description:Plasma cells are rare cells that have been notoriously difficult to detect by flow cytometry. New advances have described B220+ CD138+ plasma cells in the bone marrow that are particularly difficult to distinguish between CD138 intermediate B220+ developing B cells. Herein we describe a novel method for detecting plasma cells in the bone marrow using a combination of CD138 and Sca-1 staining.

Project description:IntroductionCurrent processing of renal biopsy samples provides limited information about immune mechanisms causing kidney injury and disease activity. We used flow cytometry with transplanted kidney biopsy samples to provide more information on the immune status of the kidney.MethodsTo enhance the information available from a biopsy, we developed a technique for reducing a fraction of a renal biopsy sample to single cells for multicolor flow cytometry and quantitation of secreted cytokines present within the biopsy sample. As proof of concept, we used our technique with transplant kidney biopsy samples to provide examples of clinically relevant immune information obtainable with cytometry.ResultsA ratio of CD8+ to CD4+ lymphocytes greater than or equal to 1.2 in transplanted allografts is associated with rejection, even before it is apparent by microscopy. Elevated numbers of CD45 leukocytes and higher levels of interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, and IL-10 indicate more severe injury. Antibody binding to renal microvascular endothelial cells can be measured and corresponds to antibody-mediated forms of allograft rejection. Eculizumab binding to endothelial cells suggests complement activation, which may be independent of bound antibody. We compared intrarenal leukocyte subsets and activation states to those of peripheral blood from the same donor at the time of biopsy and found significant differences; thus the need for new techniques to evaluate immune responses within the kidney.ConclusionAssessment of leukocyte subsets, renal microvascular endothelial properties, and measurement of cytokines within a renal biopsy by flow cytometry enhance understanding of pathogenesis, indicate disease activity, and identify potential targets for therapy.
