Recommendations for pre- and post-analytical phases 2. Universal guideline for description of Ig / TR clonality testing data 5

6 Standardization of Ig/TR clonality testing oligo poly mono / bi +/- background skewing Dept. of Immunology, Erasmus M Immunobiology is the basis for different Ig/TR clonality patterns Immunobiological condition Examples Expected type of pattern no lymphocytes non-hematopoietic tissue negative w/o background NOTE: non-specific peak(s) paucity of lymphocytes small infiltrate, small sample (minor) peaks, not consistent (e.g. skin) (immune)activation with dominant immune response (multiple) peaks, consistent dominant clones (e.g. infection, autoimmunity) reactive lymphocytes broad immune response (irregular) Gaussian curve (mono)clonal leukemia, lymphoma, clone of unknown significance mono-/bi-allelic 1-2 peaks, NB: competition idem, + polycl bgr. 1-2 peaks + Gaussian curve idem, but mutated (rare) negative 2 ;non-specific peak(s) idem, mutated + polycl bgr Gaussian curve 2 1 Designed to be applicable in >95% of cases 2 In fact this represents a false-negative result 6

7 Multiple signals in Ig/TR clonality testing How to deal with multiple signals / products?? - (mono)clonality (mono)clonal cell population (+/- background) monoallelic 1 product per locus * bi-allelic 2 products per locus * - bi-clonality two clones 2-4 per locus * - oligoclonality multiple clones (>3 products per locus *) - irregular polyclonality incomplete Gaussian distribution - polyclonality diverse, Gaussian / normal distribution * for IGK / TRB double!!

11 Universal description of Ig/TR clonality testing data Objective: standardized description (common language) Two levels 1.) technical description per tube (info for labs); 2.) overall molecular interpretation / conclusion (possibly split out for B / T cells, mentioning studied targets, control gene analysis and test sensitivity) (info for pathologists and/or directly to clinicians) Starting points - should be applicable to both heteroduplex and GeneScan analysis - should focus on ~95% of cases - scientific conceptual basis: type of pattern determined by underlying immunobiology EQA scheme meetings 16 th Eurolonality meeting Kiel (Autumn 2008) 1st EQA round (organised by Kiel; wet lab trial) v1 and v2 scoring system 18 th Eurolonality meeting Noordwijk (Autumn 2009) 2nd EQA round (organised by Southampton; wet lab trial) v3 scoring system 19 th Eurolonality meeting Belfast (Spring 2010) 3rd EQA round (organised by Southampton; e-trial) v4 scoring system 20 th Eurolonality meeting Kiel (Autumn 2010) 4th EQA round (organised by Nijmegen; e-trial) v5 scoring system 21 st Eurolonality meeting Ghent (Spring 2011) 5th EQA round (organised by Rotterdam and Groningen; 50 routine samples) final version scoring system 11
