Introduction: Nucleated erythroid progenitors (NEPs) in normal regenerating bone<br />

marrow (BM) comprised of 4 developmental stages – pro-erythroblasts, basophilic<br />

erythroblasts, polychromatophilic erythroblasts, and orthochromatophilic erythroblasts.<br />

In clinical laboratories, the erythroid phenotype is conventionally characterised by the<br />

expression of CD36, CD71, and CD235a antigens, however the analysis of these antigens<br />

is not sufficient for the distinction of NEPs into 4 developmental stages. We supplemented<br />

previous NEP phenotype analysis (Wood, 2004) with the analysis of additional markers<br />

on NEPs, including CD105, CD117, CD45, CD38, we proposed NEPs gating strategy and<br />

determined the percentage of NEPs developmental stages in regenerating BM (Fajtova<br />

et al., 2013). The knowledge of exact erythroid phenotype is helpful for uncovering<br />

neoplastic erythroid population in diagnosis and follow-up of acute erythroid leukaemia<br />

(AML-M6) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).<br />

Material and methods: NEPs phenotype was analysed on normal BM samples from 6<br />

non-leukemic and 14 leukemic patients (mainly B-ALL) in complete remission. Aberrant<br />

NEPs phenotype was analysed on BM samples from AML-M6 patients in diagnosis and<br />

follow-up. Flow cytometric measurement was performed on a BDCantoII Flow Cytometer<br />

using 6-colour staining. NEPs phenotype profile was examined with antibodies: anti-<br />

CD36-FITC, anti-CD36-FITC/CD235a-PE, anti-CD71-PE, anti-CD105-PerCP-Cy5.5, anti-<br />

CD34-PE-Cy7, anti-CD117-APC, anti-HLA-DR-FITC, anti-CD38-PE, anti-CD45-VioGreen<br />

and nucleic dye Syto.<br />

Results: All NEP developmental stages were gated as cells with the highest CD71 intensity<br />

and were stained with the nucleic acid dye Syto. Alternatively, NEPs in all stages could<br />

be also gated as CD36 + CD45 -/low Syto + cells, as CD45 -/low gating excluded the monocytic<br />

population and Syto + gating excluded the denucleated erythro debris (CD36 + Syto - ).<br />

CD36 + CD45 -/low Syto + gating is necessary in samples lacking CD71 antigen expression on<br />

NEP population.<br />
