Using the APAAP technique, we assessed the reactivity of five monoclonal antibodies, JSB1, C219, Mab 57, 2F8 and MRK16, to gp 170 in 60 cases of de novo acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and 13 relapses. Reactivity, varied between the five antibodies, and positivity was obtained with 2F8 > JSB1 > MRK16 > Mab57 > C219. Sixteen of the 60 cases were also studied by flow cytometry. In 10 cases, the results with the two techniques corresponded, in the other 6 cases, flow cytometry proved more sensitive than APAAP in detecting small amounts of gp170. In the flow cytometry analysis, the cells fixed in methanol and paraformaldehyde were more fluorescent than unfixed samples or those fixed in paraformaldehyde or methanol alone. Our results thus reveal that positivity for gp 170 depends on various factors, including the specificity of the monoclonal antibodies, the techniques used and the preservation of the samples. This suggests the need for a dear standardization of the methods to detect gp170.

Abstract
Using the APAAP technique, we assessed the reactivity of five monoclonal antibodies, JSB1, C219, Mab 57, 2F8 and MRK16, to gp 170 in 60 cases of de novo acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and 13 relapses. Reactivity, varied between the five antibodies, and positivity was obtained with 2F8 > JSB1 > MRK16 > Mab57 > C219. Sixteen of the 60 cases were also studied by flow cytometry. In 10 cases, the results with the two techniques corresponded, in the other 6 cases, flow cytometry proved more sensitive than APAAP in detecting small amounts of gp170. In the flow cytometry analysis, the cells fixed in methanol and paraformaldehyde were more fluorescent than unfixed samples or those fixed in paraformaldehyde or methanol alone. Our results thus reveal that positivity for gp 170 depends on various factors, including the specificity of the monoclonal antibodies, the techniques used and the preservation of the samples. This suggests the need for a dear standardization of the methods to detect gp170.Pubblicazioni consigliate
