Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the biological variations of 8 lymphocyte subsets using flow cytometric double-platform method.Methods Twenty healthy adults were recruited from Peking Union Medical College Hospital in September 2013.At 8:00 AM,12:00 PM,and 4:00 PM on days 1,3,and 5,venous blood was collected from the volunteers.The percent and absolute lymphocyte subset counts were measured using duel-platform method.The sample collection and handling techniques were standardized.Before each batch analysis,the instrument quality controls were performed using the same lots of reagents.The intra-individual coefficient of variation (CVI) and inter-individual coefficient of variation (CVG) were calculated by nested ANOVA with SPSS 13.0 software.The analytical coefficient of variation (CVA),index of individuality (Ⅱ) and reference change value (RCV) were calculated by Excel2003.A mean pairwise comparison was determined by one-way ANOVA and variance analysis.The values between groups were analyzed by independent sample t test.Results For T cells (CD3 +),helper T cells (CD3 + CD4 + CD8-),suppressor T cells (CD3 + CD4-CD8 +) and B cells (CD3-CD19 +),the intra-individual coefficient of variation (CVI) and inter-individual coefficient of variation (CVG) were 0.03,0.06,0.05,0.14 and 0.12,0.16,0.23,0.31 respectively,which were all similar to those in previous studies.However,the Ⅱ and RCV of the four lymphocyte subsets were very different from those in previous studies,which were 0.26,0.40,0.22,0.44 and 8.77,16.86,14.93,39.69,respectively.Moreover,variations in absolute count,CVI,CVG,and analysis coefficient of variation (CVA) of all 8 lymphocyte subsets were greater than those of relative count.Variations in the percent and absolute counts for the CD3 + CD4-CD8-,CD3 + CD4 + CD8 +,and CD3+ CD16+ CD56+ cell subsets were relatively high.The CVI,CVG and CVA for the cells of CD3 + CD4-CD8-were 0.12,0.49 and 0.16.The CVI,CVG and CVA for the cells of CD3+ CD4+ CD8+ were 0.40,0.93 and 0.55.The CVI,CVG and CVA for the cells of CD3 + CD16 + CD56 + were 0.28,1.11 and 0.16.Conclusions Investigation on the CVI,CVG and CVA may allow us to obtain Ⅱ and RCV,by which we can determine the utility of traditional population based reference ranges.Documentation of the RCV indices may be used as objective delta-check values in quality management and decide whether clinical significance existed in the continuously detected results.
