  • Method and apparatus for automated assessment of the immunoregulatory status of the mononuclear leukocyte immune system
    Publication number: 20020115122
    Abstract: The ability of mononuclear leukocytes to respond to standard stimuli is measured based on the expression of activation antigens on mononuclear cell subclasses. In a preferred embodiment, a sample of mononuclear leukocytes is cultured for up to 24 hours with a standard stimulus known to activate such cells. After culturing, aliquots of the cells are incubated with fluorophore-conjugated monoclonal antibodies to antigenic determinants of a particular mononuclear subclass and different fluorophore-conjugated monoclonal antibodies to particular activation antigens. The incubated aliquots are analyzed on a flow cytofluorometer, whereby each cell is illuminated with a particular light (e.g. argon ion laser), which detects and measures forward light scatter, orthogonal light scatter and two different wavelengths of light emitted from the fluorophores.
