dc.description.abstractBackground: The diagnosis of T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL) is challenging. The development of a monoclonal antibody specific for T-cell receptor β constant region 1 (TRBC1) provides an alternative to discriminate clonal T cells. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic potential of an anti-TRBC1 mAb for the identification of T-NHL. Methods: We performed a cross-sectional diagnostic analytic study of samples tested for lymphoma. All samples sent for lymphoma screening were first evaluated using the standard Euroflow LST, to which a second additional custom-designed T-cell clonality assessment tube was added CD45/TRBC1/CD2/CD7/CD4/TCRγδ/CD3. Flow cytometry reports were compared with morphological and molecular tests. Results: Fifty-nine patient samples were evaluated. Within the T-cell population, cut-off percentages in the CD4+ cells were from 29.4 to 54.6% and from 23.9 to 52.1% in CD8+ cells. Cut-off ratios in CD4+ T cells were from 0.33 to 1.1, and in CD8+ cells between 0.22 and 1.0. Using predefined normal cut-off values, 18 of 59 (30.5%) samples showed a restricted expression of TRBC1. A final diagnosis of a T-NHL was confirmed clinically and/or by histopathological studies in 15 of the 18 cases (83.3%). There were no cases of T-NHL by morphology/IHC with normal TRBC1 expression. Non-neoplastic patient samples behaved between predefined TRBC1 cut-off values. Conclusions: Expression of TRBC1 provides a robust method for T-cell clonality assessment, with very high sensitivity and good correlation with complementary methods. TRBC1 can be integrated into routine lymphoma screening strategies via flow cytometry.
