CD4 Immunophenotyping for HIV Monitoring

Flow Cytometry

3

Introduction

Absolute CD4 T-lymphocyte counts are used to evaluate the immune status of patients with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

CD4 antigen is the receptor for HIV. The absolute number of CD4 T lymphocytes is closely associated with HIV progression.

Flow Cytometry

Laser based high speed electronic cell analyzer

Fluorescent conjugated monoclonal antibodies

Analyze surface (and cytoplasmic) cellular antigens.

Flow rates 500 –700 cells /second

5

Flow Cytometry What Can a Flow Cytometer Tell

Us About a Cell? Its relative size (Forward Scatter-

FSC) Its relative granularity or internal

complexity (Side Scatter-SSC) Its relative fluorescence intensity

(FL1,FL2,FL3, and FL4)

Fluidics and Optics Review

Created an illumination region with the excitation optics

Passed the cells precisely through the illumination region using hydrodynamic focusing

Routed the generated light signals to the specific detectors by collection optics

25

Electronics

Converts optical signals to proportional electronic signals (voltage pulses)

Analyzes voltage pulse height, area, or width

Interfaces with the computer for data transfer

Topics of Discussion

Testing Platforms Single Dual

Instrumentation Reagents

49

Testing Platforms Single platform instrument Single platform testing can be performed

on flow cytometer using calibration beads. Cost per test is relatively higher.

Dual platform testing relies on a Hematology Analyzer. Hematology cost per test is relatively

inexpensive. Comparison of both platforms.
