23 Leukemia with 2 lineage markers expression Biphenotypic : Synchronous Billineal : Synchronous Metachronous Biclonal : Two discrete transforming events

24 Aim of Immunophenotyping of Leukemias To establish the line of origin and stage of differentiation To identify various prognostic subgroups To tailor treatment protocols To define peculiar phenotypes that may help to detect MRD

25 Methods of Detection of MRD Immune receptor gene rearrangement RT-PCR for chromosomal translocations immunophenotyping

26 MRD Detection by Immunophentyping Sensitivity Limit: -Morphologically -Phenotyping 1 : malignant cells Practical Applications: -Treatment monitoring and identification of patients with persistent residual malignant cells - Prediction of clinical relapse early enough -Verifying morphologically suspicious cells - Detection of residual malignant cells in the harvest of autologous BM and test efficacy of purging

27 Immunological Detection of MRD - Markers not usually present in PB e.g. TDT, CD10, CD1 - Aberrant coexpression on malignant cells in BM : - different lineage combinations - asynchronous expression of markers - Measuring the intensity of the antigen - - Phenotyping on morphlogically defined cell populations (light scattering properties)

28 Antigen Pattern I aberrant TdT CD22 CD79a CD19 Definition Cells are clearly defined by several pan-lineage antigens and co-express an antigen of a different lineage e.g. CD65 - myeloid antigen - expressed on a immature B-cell (CD19 +, CD34 +, cycd22 +, cycd79a + ) CD65 CD34

29 Antigen Pattern II asynchronous Definition The differentiation stage of the cells are clearly defined by several antigens e.g. antigens of mature B-cells, but co-express an antigen of immature B-cells like CD34. IgM Y CD19 CD20 CD22 CD79a CD24 CD34

30 Aberrant Antigen Patterns Coexpression CD15/CD65 CD7 CD2 CD19/CD56 Subtyp Pro-B-ALL AML M0/M1/M2 AML FAB 4eo AML FAB M2 Detection of minimal residual disease
