Purpose: To present a novel flow cytometry assay for determination of human blood monocyte subpopulations, i.e., the CD14++CD16-, CD14++CD16+, and CD14+CD16++ monocytes, and LRP1 expression in each monocyte subpopulation.
Conclusion: -LRP1 is mainly expressed in monocytes, which allows a clear separation of these cells by flow cytometry from other leukocyte subsets using a SSC vs. LRP1 plot. -Percentages of monocyte subpopulations measured by the LRP1 monocytic strategy were significantly comparable with those obtained with the HLA-DR procedure. -LRP1 is differentially detected by flow cytometry in monocyte subpopulations, being higher in CD14++-monocytes (classical and intermediate) than in CD14+-monocytes (nonclassical) of healthy subjects. -The total variation yield by the measurement of LRP1 and monocyte subpopulations [(aCV%2 + bCV%2)½] was not higher than 20%.

Quality control: To minimize pre-analytical variance as much as possible, specimens were collected at approximately the same time of the day (between 08:00 and 09:30 a.m.). Specimens of each individual were analyzed in duplicate.

Flow Sample/Specimen Details


Compensation Control.fcs :

Description Fresh whole blood was drawn into EDTA-K3 collection tubes (DVS No. 1213752.5) and specimens were prepared for flow cytometry within 30 min.
Sample source: [ other ] Peripheral Blood
Sample characteristic: Human Monocytes
Sample treatment: About 50 µl of whole blood was added to a 5 ml polystyrene round-bottom tube (No. 352008; BD Biosciences). Lysis of erythrocytes was performed using a lysing buffer (No. 555899; BD Pharm Lyse) for 15 minutes.

Sample source: [ other ] Peripheral Blood
Sample characteristic: Human Monocytes
Sample treatment: About 50 µl of whole blood was added to a 5 ml polystyrene round-bottom tube (No. 352008; BD Biosciences) and 1 µl of anti-CD14 FITC antibody (dilution 1:50) was added. The sample was then incubated for 20 min at 4 °C in the dark. Lysis of erythrocytes was performed using a lysing buffer (No. 555899; BD Pharm Lyse) for 15 minutes.
