ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
This study aimed to deliver biological variation (BV) estimates for 25 types of lymphocyte subpopulations subjected to deep immunophenotyping (memory T/B cells, regulatory T cells, etc.) and classical, intermediate, and nonclassical monocyte subsets based on the full spectrum flow cytometry (FS-FCM) and a Biological Variation Data Critical Appraisal Checklist (BIVAC) design.METHODS:
Samples were collected biweekly from 60 healthy Chinese adults over 10 consecutive two-week periods. Each sample was measured in duplicate within a single run for lymphocyte deep immunophenotyping and monocyte subset determination using FS-FCM, including the percentage (%) and absolute count (cells/µL). After trend adjustment, a Bayesian model was applied to deliver the within-subject BV (CVI) and between-subject BV (CVG) estimates with 95â¯% credibility intervals.RESULTS:
Enumeration (% and cells/µL) for 25 types of lymphocyte deep immunophenotyping and three types of monocyte subset percentages showed considerable variability in terms of CVI and CVG. CVI ranged from 4.23 to 47.47â¯%. Additionally, CVG ranged between 10.32 and 101.30â¯%, except for CD4+ effector memory T cells re-expressing CD45RA. No significant differences were found between males and females for CVI and CVG estimates. Nevertheless, the CVGs of PD-1+ T cells (%) may be higher in females than males. Based on the desired analytical performance specification, the maximum allowable imprecision immune parameter was the CD8+PD-1+ T cell (cells/µL), with 23.7â¯%.CONCLUSIONS:
This is the first study delivering BV estimates for 25 types of lymphocyte subpopulations subjected to deep immunophenotyping, along with classical, intermediate, and nonclassical monocyte subsets, using FS-FCM and adhering to the BIVAC design.Palabras clave
