Clinical Information
Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test

Monoclonal antibodies are critical tools for detecting cellular antigens in various hematologic diseases and are used to provide critical prognostic information (CD49d). Monoclonal antibodies are also used as therapeutic agents in a variety of hematologic diseases. For example:

-Anti-CD20 (Rituxan): B-cell malignant lymphomas and multiple myeloma

-Anti-CD52 (Campath-1H): B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia and T-cell disorders

This list will undoubtedly expand over time to include other antibodies.

 

It may be necessary to document expression of these markers by the malignant cells prior to initiating the respective monoclonal antibody therapy. Expression of these markers may also be required for follow-up to monitor the impact of treatment on residual normal counterparts (eg, CD20-positive lymphocytes in patients treated with anti-CD20).

 

The distribution of these cellular antigens is well established in normal, reactive, and in various malignant disorders. The laboratory has several years of experience with therapeutic antibody monitoring of Mayo Clinic patients as part of the routine B-cell, T-cell, or acute immunophenotyping panels.

Reference Values
Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.

Normal individuals have B lymphocytes, T lymphocytes, or myeloid cells that express the corresponding cell-surface antigens in question.

Interpretation
Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results

The immunophenotyping report will summarize the pattern of antigenic expression on malignant cells and, if appropriate, the normal cellular counterparts that correspond to the therapeutic monoclonal antibody target.

Cautions
Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances

No significant cautionary statements.

Method Description
Describes how the test is performed and provides a method-specific reference

Flow cytometric immunophenotyping of peripheral blood, bone marrow, or tissue-derived lymphocytes is performed to assess the expression of the cell-surface antigen corresponding to the monoclonal antibody therapeutic target. The following antibody panels will be used:
