Anti-CD4 antibody (T4)-coated microspheres were used to label CD4 cells in whole blood. The mixture was lysed and analyzed by a modified Coulter VCS hematology analyzer, which differentiated microsphere-labeled cells by a change in Coulter volume, conductance, and light scatter. %CD3+/CD4+ fluorescent values from a profile were compared to %CD4 values using the VCS-microsphere method. CD3 gating was used to exclude CD4+ monocytes from the 90LS-FALS lymphocyte gate. The results correlated well (R = 0.996). The percentage of CD4+ lymphocytes from profile scatterplots and VCS scatterplots showed a line of regression close to the equivalence line (n = 76, slope = 0.96) when CD3 gating was used for the profile. These results suggest that CD3 gating, though necessary for 90LS-FALS scatterplots, may not be necessary for volume-conductance-light scatterplots.

Introduction: CD38 is an ectoenzyme receptor found on hematopoietic cells and its expression is used in the flow cytometric analysis of sub-populations of circulating B cells among peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) to aid in diagnosing patients with different antibody production defects (AbD). Monoclonal antibodies derived from the sea lamprey Variable Lymphocyte Receptor B (VLRB) are emerging as an alternative to conventional mammalian antibodies. We hypothesized that VLRB MM3 (V-CD38) which specifically recognizes CD38 in a manner correlating with its enzymatic activity could identify terminally differentiated B cells in human PBMC.

B cells are crucial components of the immune system, responsible for producing specific antibodies in response to infections and vaccines. Despite their uniform appearance, B cells display diverse surface molecules and functional properties, which are not yet fully understood. Apart from antibody production, B cells also play roles in antigen presentation and cytokine secretion, essential for initiating T-cell immune responses.

However, current mIF image analyses are labor-intensive, requiring specialized pathology expertise which limits their scalability and clinical application. To address this challenge, we developed CellGate, a deep-learning (DL) computational pipeline that provides streamlined, end-to-end whole-slide mIF image analysis including nuclei detection, cell segmentation, cell classification, and combined immuno-phenotyping across stacked images.

The cross-talk between the innate and adaptive immune response represents the first defense weapon against the threat of pathogens. Substantial evidence has shown a relationship between immune phenotype lymphocytes and COVID-19 disease severity and/or implication in susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 infection. Recently, belonging to ABO blood groups has been investigated as a correlation factor to COVID-19 disease.

Purpose: Natural killer (NK) cells are traditionally identified by flow cytometry using a combination of markers (CD16/CD56/CD3), because a specific NK-cell marker is still missing. Here we investigated the utility of CD314, CD335 and NKp80, compared to CD16/CD56/CD3, for more robust identification of NK-cells in human blood, for diagnostic purposes.
Methods: A total of 156 peripheral blood (PB) samples collected from healthy donors (HD) and patients with diseases frequently associated with loss/downregulation of classical NK-cell markers were immunophenotyped following EuroFlow protocols, aimed at comparing the staining profile of total blood NK-cells for CD314, CD335 and NKp80, and the performance of distinct marker combinations for their accurate identification.
