Optimizing a clinical flow cytometry panel can be a subjective process dependent on experience. We develop a quantitative method to make this process more rigorous and apply it to B lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (B-ALL) minimal residual disease (MRD) testing.
We retrospectively analyzed our existing three-tube, seven-color B-ALL MRD panel and used our novel method to develop an optimized one-tube, eight-color panel, which was tested prospectively.
The optimized one-tube, eight-color panel resulted in greater efficiency of time and resources with no loss in diagnostic power.
Constructing a flow cytometry panel using a rigorous, objective, quantitative method permits optimization and avoids problems of interdependence and redundancy in a large, multiantigen panel.
优化临床流式细胞术检测方案可能是一个依赖经验的主观过程。我们开发了一种定量方法,以使这一过程更加严谨,并将其应用于B淋巴细胞白血病/淋巴瘤(B-ALL)微小残留病(MRD)检测。
我们回顾性分析了现有的三管、七色B-ALL MRD检测方案,并使用我们的新方法开发了一种优化的单管、八色检测方案,并进行前瞻性测试。
优化后的单管、八色检测方案提高了时间和资源利用效率,且诊断能力没有损失。
使用严谨、客观、定量的方法构建流式细胞术检测方案可实现优化,并避免大型多抗原检测方案中相互依赖和冗余的问题。
