WAYS ANTIBODIES BIND TO CELLS
Specific:Fab to epitopeFc to Fc receptor
binding is high affinity and saturable
Non Specific:binding is low affinity and not saturable
Specific Activity is the concentration of
bindable antibody to its epitope dividedby the protein concentration.
SA = {F(ab')2} (protein)
Reasons antibodies do notbind to cells:1. overconjugation 2. not purified
3. degradation of binding site4. aggregation
Storing of antibodies:
Proteases destroy antibodies in:• ascitic fluid• serum• bacteria
Use sodium azideUse highly purified albumin or
gelatin as carrierPurify antibodies in ascitic fluid

CD7Interpreting Co-expression: The pattern of expression of two or three markersprovides the means for assignment of co-expression. The possibilities are illustratedin this Figure. The antibody combination CD7CD19CD2 was used and in A, B and C thesame specimen is shown. CD19 is homogeneously expressed on the cells, as shown inA, but CD7 is expressed in a heterogeneous manner, as shown by a continuum of CD7expression from negative (cyan) to positive (green). Thus, a proportion of the CD19+cells express CD7. In B, a small population of CD19+CD2+ cells (violet) is shown.This could be heterogeneous expression of CD2 on the CD19 population, a distinctsubset that expresses both markers, or an artifact. Because of this uncertainty, whenthe frequency of cells co-expressing two or more markers is small, and because thelevel of confidence increases with increased frequency, we have set a threshold of10% above which we designate co-expression as real and below which it is uncertain.In this case, the frequency was below 10% of the CD19+ population and we do notknow its significance. In C, a distinct subset of CD7+CD2+ cells (blue) is shownwhich do not express CD19 (A and B): these are normal T-cells. Using a specimenfrom another patient, in D, non-specific binding is often characterized by events on a45 degree angle (red) as the antibodies bind equally to all cells. Populationsexhibiting this pattern are not included in the interpretation even though they may begreater than 10%.

Typical B-cell Lymphoma (A,B,C) vs Reactive Lymphoid Hyperplasia (D,E,F): Themost commonly found phenotype in B-cell lymphoma is the expression of CD19(A), CD20 (B), CD22 (B) and one of the two light chains (C). CD5 expression isvariable, typically like that shown in A. In C, Kappa vs Lambda coexpression withCD19 is shown; this lymphoma is Kappa light chain restricted. The correspondingdisplays for B-cells from a node with reactive lymphoid hyperplasia are shown inD, E and F.

Typical T-cell Lymphoma or Reactive Lymph Node: The hallmark ofT-cell malignancy is inappropriate marker expression. This canpresent itself as either an abnormal epitope density or as the absenceof a marker. In this example, CD4 expression in a lymphoma (green inA and B) is not different from that found on normal T-cells (green in Dand E), but CD3 expression on the lymphoma cells (A) is more variablethan on normal T-cells (D). The differences are the absence of CD7 andthe increased density of CD2 (rust) expression in the lymphoma cells(C). Note that normal T-cells (blue in C or F) are easily distinguishedfrom the lymphoma cells (rust in C). The CD7-CD2+ cells (rust) in Fare normal NK cells.
