Ortho-mune OK-COMBO CD3-FITC/CD8-PE is intended for use in identification and enumeration of CD3+ and CD8+ human T lymphocytes in whole blood by flow cytometry. The intended use is the same as the intended use of the predicate device(s), Ortho-mune OKT3 Monoclonal Antibody (Murine) FITC Conjugate, and Ortho-mune OKT8 Monoclonal Antibody (Murine) Phycoerythrin conjugate.
Device Story
Ortho-mune OK-COMBO CD3-FITC/CD8-PE is a dual-color reagent blend of murine monoclonal antibodies (OKT3 and OKT8) conjugated to fluorochromes (FITC and phycoerythrin). Used in clinical laboratories by technicians/operators with flow cytometry instrumentation (e.g., ORTHO CYTORONABSOLUTE). Input: whole blood samples. Process: antibody-antigen binding allows simultaneous identification of CD3+ and CD8+ T-lymphocyte populations. Output: flow cytometric data representing percentages of CD3+ and CD8+ cells. Clinicians use these results for immunophenotyping to assess T-cell subsets, aiding in the management and monitoring of patients with immune-related conditions like AIDS/ARC.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical study compared dual-color reagent to single-color predicates using 199 normal donors and 77 AIDS/ARC patients on the ORTHO CYTORONABSOLUTE flow cytometer. Performance metrics included mean percent positive cells and linear regression analysis (R values near 1.0). Reproducibility studies (within and between laboratories) demonstrated acceptable CVs for CD3+ and CD3+CD8+ cell percentages. Linearity studies across a range of 20 to 18,676 cells/ul showed slopes indistinguishable from 1 and R=1.000.
Technological Characteristics
Murine monoclonal antibodies (OKT3, OKT8) conjugated to fluorochromes (FITC, phycoerythrin). Dual-color immunophenotyping reagent for flow cytometry. Analyzed via laser flow cytometer. No specific ASTM material standards cited.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the identification and enumeration of CD3+ and CD8+ human T lymphocytes in whole blood specimens from patients, including normal donors and those with AIDS/ARC, using flow cytometry.

# PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS
Performance of the two color reagent Ortho-mune OK-COMBO CD3-FITC/CD8-PE (OKT3/OKT8) Monoclonal Antibody (Murine) was compared with that of single color reagents Ortho-mune OKT3 Monoclonal Antibody (Murine) FITC Conjugate and Ortho-mune OKT8 Monoclonal Antibody (Murine) Phycoerythrin Conjugate. Whole blood specimens from 199 normal donors, and 77 AIDS/ARC patients were stained and analyzed using the ORTHO CYTORONABSOLUTE™ flow cytometer, Ortho Diagnostic Systems Inc.
For each specimen, the percentage of gated cells which showed positive by each marker was calculated. The mean and range of the total percent CD3+ and total percent CD8+ for the normal population and the AIDS/ARC population are shown in Table 1 and Table 2, respectively.

ORTHO CYTORONABSOLUTE™ Laser Flow Cytometer was used in the clinical studies comparing the performance of Ortho-mune OK-COMBO CD3-FITC/CD8-PE immunophenotyping reagent to Ortho-mune OKT3 FITC conjugate and OKT8 Phycoerythrin conjugate
A study was done comparing the performance of the ORTHO CYTORONABSOLUTE flow cytometer to recognized flow cytometers, Becton Dickinson FACScan™ and COULTER EPICS™ flow cytometers.
Specimens from ten normal donors (whole blood, EDTA) were processed using monoclonal antibodies bound to magnetic microbeads to product samples with low, normal, and high relative percent positive CD8 cells. A portion of each sample was stained in triplicate using immunophenotyping reagents from each manufacturer. Specimens stained with Ortho-mune OK-COMBO reagents were analyzed using the ORTHO CYTORONABSOLUTE flow cytometer. Likewise, samples stained with Simultest reagents were analyzed using the FACScan flow cytometer, and samples stained with Cyto-Stat®/ COULTER CLONE® were analyzed using the COULTER EPICS flow cytometer.

For each sample the mean of the triplicate results were calculated for the Becton Dickinson FACScan, COULTER EPICS, and CYTOTONABSOLUTE within concentration and donor. Least square regression analyses were performed on these mean results for the FACScan (X axis) versus the CYTOTONABSOLUTE (Y axis), and for the COULTER EPICS (X axis) versus the CYTOTONABSOLUTE (Y axis). Results for percent CD3+CD8+ cells using Ortho-mune OK-COMBO CD3-FITC/CD8-PE and the CYTOTONABSOLUTE versus Simultest CD3/CD8 (Leu-4/2a) using the FACScan are presented in Chart 3.

Reproducibility studies were performed at three independent laboratories using samples with low, normal, and high relative percent CD3+ and CD8+ cells.
Specimens from each of eleven normal donors (whole blood, EDTA) were processed using monoclonal antibodies bound to microbeads to produce samples of low, normal, and high relative percent CD3+ and CD8+ cells. The samples were separated into aliquots for each laboratory. Samples were stained in replicates of 10 with Ortho-mune OK-COMBO CD3/CD8 reagent and analyzed using the ORTHO CYTORONABSOLUTE flow cytometer.
For within laboratory reproducibility, the variance for the replicate results was calculated within site, concentration and donor. The variance was averaged across site, concentration and donor. The square root replicate variance (SD) was divided by the appropriate mean percent positive result (by site and concentration) and multiplied by 100 to obtain the CV. Within laboratory reproducibility results for determination of total percent CD3+ and percent CD3+CD8+ cells are presented in Table 4.

The between laboratory CV was computed as follows. The mean percent positive for each site within concentration was calculated. The SD was computed on the three site means within concentration and the CV was obtained by dividing the SD by the overall mean within concentration and multiplying by 100.

A linearity study was performed using an automated hematology analyzer to determine total lymphocyte count, and the CYTORONABSOLUTE flow cytometer to determine the percent positive CDx cells.
Specimens from four normal donors (whole blood, EDTA) were processed to produce samples with low, normal and high numbers of lymphocyte subsets. Each whole blood specimen was concentrated by harvesting the buffy coat to obtain a white blood cell count between 20,000 and 40,000 cells/ul and then diluting to produce samples of high, normal and low numbers of lymphocyte subsets. A portion of each sample was stained in triplicate using Ortho-mune OK-COMBO CD3/CD8 immunophenotyping reagent and analyzed using the CYTORONABSOLUTE flow cytometer. The total lymphocyte count of the concentrated sample for each donor was obtained using an automated hematology analyzer.
Linear regression analyses were performed as follows. The expected (X axis) values were calculated by multiplying the corresponding serial dilutions by the hematology analyzer derived buffy coat lymphocyte count and by the CYTORONABSOLUTE derived lymphocyte subset percent positive. The observed (Y axis) values were determined as the total lymphocyte count calculated from the hematology derived value of the concentrated sample times the CYTORONABSOLUTE derived lymphocyte subset percent positive at each dilution.
The OK-COMBO CD3/CD8 reagent demonstrated linear performance for both total CD3+ and CD3+CD8+ lymphocyte subsets across a lymphocyte count range of 20 cells/ul to 18,676 cells/ul as demonstrated with slopes indistinguishable from 1 and R values of 1.000.
Linear regression analyses of observed versus expected values for total percent CD3+ and percent CD3+CD8+ cells for each donor specimen are shown in Chart 5 and Chart 6 respectively. Regression analysis statistics are provided in Table 6.
