Abstract | Since response to antigen-based immunotherapy relies upon the level of tumor antigen expression we developed an antigen quantification assay using ABC values. Antigen quantification as a clinical assay requires methods for quality control and for interlaboratory and inter-cytometer platform standardization. A single lot of Cytotrol™ Lyophilized Control Cells (Beckman Coulter) used for all studies. The variability in antigen quantification across 4 different instrument platforms in 2 separate laboratories was evaluated. The effect of the antibody clone utilized, importance of custom 1:1 molar ratio (fluorophore to protein, F/P) verses off-the-shelf antibodies, and QuantiBrite PE calibration verses linearity calibration combined with a single point scale transformation with CD4 as reference were determined. Use of single lot control cells allowed validation of reproducibility between flow cytometer platforms and laboratories and allowed assessment of different antibody lots, cocktail preparation, and different antibody clones. Off the shelf antibody preparations provide reproducible estimates of antigen density, however custom 1:1 unimolar antibody preparations should be utilized for definitive measurement of antigen expression.Geometric Mean fluorescent Intensity (GeoMFI) was not comparable across instruments and inter-laboratory. The use of CD4 as the reference marker can minimize variability in ABC values. Comparable antigen quantification is vital in managing patients receiving antigen-based immunotherapy. If this assay is to be utilized in a clinical setting, quality control methods have to be instituted to assure reproducibility and allow validation across laboratories. We have demonstrated that use of a lyophilized cell control is highly valuable in achieveing these goals. |
