Since preanalytic lysing of erythrocytes remains critical in flow cytometry, we investigated the influence of four lysing procedures on the quantification of leukocyte and CD34 cells in hematopoietic cell transplants (HCTs). Samples were derived from stem cell¨Cenriched mobilized whole blood collected by apheresis (unselected) and immunologically purified stem cell products (selected) and were measured using the dual-platform (2-PF) method with two flow cytometric systems. Additionally, cells were measured by a volume-based technique (single platform ). Results were identical in the 2-PF mode (unselected HCTs, r = 0.998; selected HCTs, r = 0.999). In comparison with the 2-PF results, the single-platform (1-PF) measurements revealed a mean decrease of 59.5% for CD34 cells (50.8% for CD45 cells) in unselected HCTs and a mean decrease of 52% for CD34 cells (49.8% for CD45 cells) in selected HCTs. In order to check the accuracy of cell quantification using the 1-PF method, leukocyte reference values from hematology counter results were compared with flow cytometric (1-PF)¨Ccounted nucleated cells. That analysis revealed good congruency, with r = 0.998 for unselected HCTs and r = 0.999 for selected HCTs. In conclusion, all lysing procedures that we used induced substantial loss of leukocytes and CD34 cells. As demonstrated by the high accuracy of the 1-PF technique, all erythrocyte lysing procedures caused significant cell loss, which led to inconsistent counting of CD34 cells in nonvolumetric flow cytometric (2-PF) protocols.

5 j% B& M8 ^7 b- OThe reconstitution of hematopoiesis after autologous or allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) is performed by progenitor cells (PCs) from bone marrow (BM), umbilical cord blood (UCB), or peripheral blood (PB). PB has virtually replaced BM as the primary source of PCs for autologous and allogeneic transplantation because of the better availability of peripheral blood progenitor cells (PBPCs) and faster hematopoietic reconstitution. However, independent of the source of collected cells, engraftment potential correlates with both the integrity and the number of hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs). It is well known that unmanipulated HPC transplants from all sources are highly contaminated with leukocytes, platelets and erythrocytes. These populations may interfere with the accurate determination of HPCs. Accordingly, there is a demand for high-quality standards in the quantification of HPCs, as demonstrated by numerous established protocols and guidelines for determination of CD34 cells ) were not the point of these studies.9 c% M) s) c; y

Preanalytic sample preparation errors can also influence results. Although most protocols for quantification of CD34 cells are standardized in terms of sample collection, storage, and staining procedures (including antibody clones, dyes, etc.), some other aspects remain critical , and selected (purified) PBPCs without contaminating white blood cells (WBCs), RBCs, and platelets, in order to simulate the influence of lysing procedures specifically on the determination of PBPCs.

. e n( Q. i& Z7 m8 D3 N) nThe effect of erythrocyte-lysing procedures on the quantification of leukocytes and HPCs was investigated with two different flow cytometric techniques and systems. A total of 135 flow cytometric determinations of 10 unselected and five positively selected HPC products was performed. All samples were derived from representative aliquots of HPC products and were collected by apheresis (COBE-Spectra cell-separator; GAM-BRO-BCT, Martinsried, Germany, http://www.gambrobct.com) from patients undergoing autologous HPC transplantation or allogeneic transplantation from healthy volunteers. The positive selection of CD34 cells was performed using the large-scale device CliniMACS (Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany, http://www.miltenyibiotec.com). Positive selection was provided if required for clinical application. Characteristics of all autologous and allogeneic HPC donors are given in Table 1.

Immunological Staining. 2-PF measurements were performed using the FACSCalibur (Becton, Dickinson and Company, Franklin Lakes, NJ, http://www.bd.com) flow cytometer as the standard method (SM) and the particle-analyzing system (PAS) flow cytometer (Partec, M¨¹nster, Germany, http://www.partec.com) as the comparison method (CM) (30 determinations). The numbers of leukocytes (CD45 cells) in the HPC products were measured by flow cytometry (first platform), and the total leukocyte concentration was measured by the HC (second platform). The absolute number of leukocyte subsets was calculated according to a formula given in the next section for CD34 cells and described previously . The PAS device was also used for direct (absolute) volumetric determinations of CD45 and CD34 cell concentrations (1-PF, without beads) (60 determinations).

Determination of CD34 and CD45 Cells. HPCs (CD34 cells) were quantified by both the 2-PF and 1-PF methods after labeling with a monoclonal antibody specific for HPCA-2 antigen (class III antibody, clone 8G12; Becton, Dickinson and Company) conjugated with phycoerythrin (PE). For the detection of CD45-expressing leukocytes, cells were labeled with CD45 monoclonal antibodies conjugated to fluorescein isothio-cyanate (FITC) (clone J33; Immunotech, Luminy, France, http://www.immunotech.com). Measurements were performed according to the German consensus protocol established by the German Society for Transfusion Medicine and Immunohematology and the German Society for Hematology and Oncology. This protocol for the quantification of CD34 cells is similar to the International Society for Hematotherapy and Graft Engineering protocol . The German consensus protocol was chosen as the reference method because it is the most common and accepted method for the determination of CD34 cells in Germany. The laboratory involved in this study uses this protocol and has passed all its internal and external proficiency tests. In detail, 100 µl of the unselected or selected product was incubated with a CD45-FITC¨C and a CD34-PE¨Cconjugated monoclonal antibody. After 15 minutes of incubation at room temperature in the dark, cells were fixed and lysed. In short, all CD45 cells were gated in a side-scatter (SSC)/CD45 plot. This gate was activated in a plot of SSC/CD34 cells, and CD34 cells were marked in a separate gate. Only events within both gates were considered as true CD34 cells. Both gates were taken for a backgating in a forward-scatter (FSC)/SSC and SSC/CD34 plot. In both cases, the CD34 cells should be visible as an endemic population (Fig. 1). In summary, 50,000 events (leukocytes) were collected as recommended by the 2-PF method. Using the volumetric 1-PF method, 200 µl sample volumes were analyzed, corresponding to more than 50,000 events. Whereas in the volumetric 1-PF method, the concentrations of progenitor cells and leukocytes were directly given without further calculations. The concentration of CD34 cells was calculated after the 2-PF measurement according to the following formula:

We added 0.9 ml of the staining solution to 0.1 ml of each sample to be analyzed. Samples were measured volumetrically with the PAS flow cytometer directly after the addition of the staining buffer (45 determinations).

DISCUSSION; X& K; ~5 ]# ^/ h
* |8 _0 R9 t) T7 Y& hThe success of reconstituting the hematopoietic system after myeloablative therapy and subsequent SCT is closely related to the administration of sufficient and functioning HPCs. Traditionally, these parameters have been evaluated using the colony-forming test, but these methods are handicapped by a lack of reproducibility and a long assay time . The last sample treatment, in particular, results in a loss of accuracy that has not been investigated in as much detail as has been done for the precision and sensitivity in the determination of CD34 cells. Furthermore, most studies focus on mobilized whole blood and waive the modified conditions during the HPC purification process. Therefore, this study represents, for the first time, a systematic investigation of pre- and perianalytic cellular loss in unmanipulated apheresis and purified HPC products.

Unselected and selected stem cell products include different fractions and populations. In the latter group, cells are out of their natural environment. This, and the addition of citrate as an anticoagulant in apheresis products, may be responsible for the greater sensitivity of selected CD34 cells to particular components of lysing buffers, and results in a complete loss of immunologic detectability when using detergent-based lysing procedures (lysis IV). The cell destructive properties of citrate in combination with detergents have already been described and used in another context to isolate nuclei from cells or tissues . However, all these studies agree that erythrocyte lysing has a high impact on the enumeration of HPCs, and this is underlined by the results of this article.( l1 R" P$ U' K1 k+ |' ]
: n& m8 l# L1 J! A# i& M5 H# VWe have recently established a reliable protocol to count immunolabeled lymphocyte subsets like CD4 T-cells in unlysed blood samples . We found 10% lower numbers of CD4 T cells in lysed blood samples than in the same no-lyse blood samples. Therefore, we recommend the use of a simplified but reliable no-lyse protocol that may also be suitable for quantifying CD34 cells. Because of the high practical and clinical consequences of lysing effects on the determination of CD34 stem cells in transplants, this protocol is currently under investigation in a larger comparative study with other established protocols.

In conclusion, both unselected and selected HPC products are strongly influenced by lysing procedures. Moreover, it was found that the change in HPC environment from blood to a buffer-based solution induces a higher susceptibility to single components of lysing reagents. The present results give an explanation for the high interlaboratory variability found in different studies and confirm the accuracy problems of the 2-PF method. This has to be taken into account for flow cytometric analysis and for further guidelines focused on the determination of CD34 cells in different compartments.5 T: I9 t- ~2 b$ r
