Definitions
- the invention relates to a reagent and a method for detecting cells with phagocytic activity.
- the solution of neutral red in distilled water is of acidic character (the pH of a solution containing 1 mg/ml of neutral red is 3.1), and, owing to its acidity and hypoosmotic effect, this solution strongly damages the cells. None of the aqueous buffer and nutrient solutions utilized in routine clinical practice proved to be appropriate to dissolve neutral red, since after dissolution precipitation occurs. Organic solvents appeared to be less suitable; thus e.g. neutral red in ethanol solution does not give appropriate staining, whereas the dimethyl sulphoxide solution is difficult to sterilize.
- the invention aims at providing a reagent solution and diagnostic method for detecting cells with phagocytic activity which is easy to apply and gives highly reliable results.
- a neutral red-containing cytologic reagent solution should be approximately isoosmotic in relation to the potentially pathologic cells. It is also essential that the mixture of the reagent solu tion formed with the sample to be examined (amniotic fluid) should be almost neutral. It has also been observed that lysozyme enzyme significantly increases the stain uptake of the cells, moreover it Increases the stability of the reagent solution, too. Finally it has been found that the reagent solution should contain a saccharide as an energy source for the cells. When a reagent solution storable for a prolonged period of time is to be prepared, preferably a preservative should also be added to the mixture.
- the invention relates to a neutral red-containing reagent solution for detecting cells with phagocytic activity.
- the reagent solution according to the invention comprises 0.2-0.8 % by weight of neutral red, 0.1-0.25% by weight of lysozyme, 0.8-2.0 % by weight of sodium chloride, 0.1-0.3 % by weight of a saccharide and optionally 0.02-0.6 % by weight of a preservative in an aqueous solution with a pH of 3.0 to 8.0, preferably 3.5 to 5.0.
- the invention also relates to a method for detecting cells with phagocytic activity by staining them with neutral red. According to the invention one proceeds as follows: 0.2-0.8 % by weight of neutral red, 0.1-0.25 % by weight of lysozyme, 0.8-2.0 % by weight of sodium chloride, 0.1-0.3 % by weight of a saccharide (preferably glucose) and optionally 0.02-0.6 % by weight of a preservative are dissolved in water, the pH of the solution is adjusted to 3.0-8.0, preferably 3.5-5.0, the solution is sterilized by filtration, thereafter one part by volume of the resulting reagent solution is admixed with 3-8 parts by volume of a sample to be examined, preferably amniotic fluid, and the resulting cell suspension is examined in a haemocytometer in a manner known per se.
- a saccharide preferably glucose
- a preservative optionally 0.02-0.6 % by weight of a preservative
- the reagent solution according to the invention may comprise as saccharide any mono- or disaccharide serving as energy source for the cells.
- saccharide any mono- or disaccharide serving as energy source for the cells.
- glucose is particularly preferred.
- preservative preferably benzole acid and/or polyvinyl alcohol can be used.
- the haemocytometrie examination of the cell suspension is performed as described in N. Eng. J. Med. 310, 1463 (1984). According to this method the cell suspension treated with the reagent solution is incubated, thereafter centrifuged, the supernatant is discarded, the sediment is admixed with a washing-diluting solution, and then staining is examined in a Btirker chamber.
- the reagent solution according to the invention is presented preferably as a reagent kit.
- the reagent kit comprises a reagent solution presented in dosage units (preferably filled into vials) and a washing-diluting solution presented in dosage units (preferably filled into vials), the volume ratio of said dosage units being 1 : (0.5-5).
- any solution of known composition applied in cytologic examinations for this purpose can be used.
- Hank's solution [J.H. Hank and R.E. Wallace: Proc. Soc. Exptl. Biol. Med. 71, 196 (1949)] proved to be particularly suitable.
- the pH of the Hank's solution is adjusted to 7.2-7.4 (preferably to 7.3) with N-hydroxyethyl-piperazine-N'-2-ethanesulphonic acid.
- the scope of the Invention also extends to the above reagent kit.
- the major advantage of the invention is that the solutions applied in the examination are stable, those containing a preservative can be stored for at least 12 months without change, and can be presented in an immediately applicable form. Utilizing the reagent solution or reagent kit according to the invention diagnostic work can be performed more quickly and easily than before and the reliability and reproducibllity of the method is superior to those of the known ones.
- Reagent kit is prepared from the following solutions: I. Reagent solution:
- 0.1 g of polyvinyl alcohol is dissolved in 45 ml of hot distilled water, the solution is cooled to room temperature, and then 0.8 g of sodium chloride, 0.1 g of glucose, 0.02 g of benzole acid and 0.1 g of lysozyme are added. The pH of the resulting solution is adjusted to 6.9 with 1 molar Trie [tris(hydroaymethylamino-methane)] buffer solution, and then diluted to a final volume of 50 ml with distilled water.

- the resulting solution is admixed with a solution of 0.175 g of sodium hydrocarbonate in 12.5 ml of distilled water.
- the volume of the resulting solution is adjusted to 500 ml with distilled water, the solution is sterilized by passing through a G-5 sintered glass filter, and the filtrate is filled into vials each containing 5 ml of the solution.
