  • transplant rejection When allogeneic tissues and organs are transplanted, the recipient's immune system often produces a transplant rejection (transplant rejection). This is a very complex immunological phenomenon involving multiple immune damage mechanisms mediated by cells and antibodies.

The degree of difference in HLA between the donor and recipient determines the severity of the rejection. With the exception of monozygotic twins, the tissue matching of two individuals with identical HLA systems is almost non-existent, but choosing donors and recipients to match as closely as possible is the key to successful allogeneic organ transplantation.

随着人类对生物机体免疫机制理解的不断深化, 近年来尤其是在 特异性免疫识别应答机制方 -面的研究, 取得了重要进展。 特异性免疫 应答的前提条件是特异性免疫识别, 而特异性免疫识别又取决于 "双 信号" 机制的完整性。 組成 "双信号" 识别的物质基础是: 由 MHC ( Major Histocompatibility Complex )基因的表达产物 MHC分子和特 异性多肽复合物组成特异性识别的第一信号; 而协同刺激因子 (B7家 族; B7-1 ; B7-2等)、 细胞粘附因子 (CD40等)则组成免疫识别的第二 信号。生物体抗疾病免疫反应或抗移植物排斥免疫反应的激发、活化、 调节以及免疫耐受的产生与上述 "双信号" 系统的完整性有着极其密 切的关联。 外来抗原(非已抗原)或移植物抗原成分进入生物体后, 首 先通过抗原提呈细胞 (Antigen Presenting Cells; APC)将非已抗原降解 为特异性多肽, 然后与相应的自身 MHC分子组装形成 MHC-特异性 多肽复合物, 并提呈于细胞表面, 然后与膜上的协同刺激因子、 细胞 粘附因子等共同被特定 T 淋巴细胞克隆的特异性受体(T Cell Receptor; TCR)以及协同刺激因子受体 (CD28等)所识别、 结合; 从而 特异性地激活 T淋巴细胞及其亚群,诱发生物机体全面的特异性免疫 应答。 通过 MHC-I -多肽复合物诱导激活的 CD8阳性 T淋巴细胞形 成细^毒性 T细包 (Cytotexic T Lympholytes; CTL)或称杀伤性 T细 胞 , 对感染外来抗原(如病毒等)的细胞或肿瘤细胞或器官移植供者细 胞等产生直接的特异性杀伤作用; 而 MHC-II -多肽复合物诱导、 活 化的 CD4阳性 Τ淋巴细胞或称辅助性 Τ淋巴细胞 (T Helper; TH)可通 过分泌各种细胞因子强化或调节 CTL 的特异性杀伤作用和其他免疫 细胞 (如巨噬细胞活化)功能, 同时可刺激 B淋巴细胞增殖、 分化成浆 细胞, 分泌特异性抗体启动体液免疫应答。 综上所述, 可获得以下重 要结论: 1、 T细胞、 尤其是 CD4阳性的 T淋巴细胞在完整生物机体 免疫系统中具有 "轴心" 作用; 2、 生物机体的特异性免疫识别是特 异性免疫应答的基础和前提条件; 3、 "双信号" 识别机制的完备与 否决定着特异性免疫应答的性盾(即特异性免疫 "耐受,, 或 "攻击" 效应)。
在同种异体组织、 器官移植时, 受者的免疫系统常对移植物产生 排异反应 (transplant rejection ) , 这是一个十分复杂的免疫学现象, 涉及细胞和抗体介导的多种免疫损伤机制, 都是针对移植物中的人类 主要组织相容性复合物 MHC (即 HLA, Human Leucocyte Antigen人 白细胞抗原) 的反应, 供者与受者 HLA的差异程度决定了排异反应 的轻或重。 除单卵双生外, 两个个体具有完全相同的 HLA 系统的组 织配型几乎是不存在的, 但选择供者与受者配型尽可能地接近, 是异 体组织器官移植成功的关键。
HLA系统是目前人类已知的最复杂的基因群一 HLA复合体, 或 称 MHC基因的编码产物。每个基因位点存在多种等位基因,导致 HLA 系统的高度多态性。 与移植排斥有关的主要是 HLA- I类、 II类基因 编码的 HLA- I类、 II类抗原。 所有人有核细胞均可以表达 HLA- I类 抗原, HLA- II类抗原见于抗原递呈细胞、 B 细胞及 T辅助细胞。 此 外, 血管内皮细胞、 纤维母细胞及腎小管上皮细胞等如果受到 IFN - Y的诱导, 亦可表达 II类抗原。
在人体和实验性组织、 器官移植中证实, T细胞介导的迟发性超 敏反应与细胞毒作用对移植物的排斥起着重要的作用。
人类对生物免疫系统理解、 认识的深化, 推动了实验免疫学分析 技术的发展; 而新的多样化免疫学技术的出现, 又给免疫学基础理论 研究带来了多角度分析的观测工具, 从而进一步促进了免疫学理论的 完善和科学性, 并成为临床免疫学的坚实基础。 近年来, 各国免疫学 工作者建立了多种检测生物机体免疫学功能的方法和技术。 其主要包 括各种以测定特异性抗体产生为特征的体液免疫功能检测方法和测 定各类免疫细胞数目、 活性、 增殖等指标的细胞免疫功能检测方法。
B淋巴细胞的功能可以通过测量体液中特异性抗体的水平来检测。 而 T淋巴细胞针对特异性抗原的功能较难检测, 因为 T细胞有多种具有 不同功能的亚型, 其发挥功能的方式也不同。
现有的检测细胞免疫功能的方法包括: 基于免疫细胞计数的方 法; 基于检测免疫细胞增殖的方法; 基于检测细胞毒活性或分泌细胞 因子的方法; 以及在体的方法如皮肤试验和过继转移。
上述方法在实际应用中具有各自的优缺点, 但存在的最大不足是 在绝大多数情况下, 以上方法只是对机体非特异性和特异性免疫的混 合测量, 不能有效的反映生物机体的特异性细胞免疫功能, 特别是个 体化特异性免疫活性。
美国专利 5773232号公开了一种快速分析淋巴细胞功能活化的方 法, 该方法包括用抗原体外刺激含淋巴细胞的样品, 然后分离并裂解 特定的淋巴细胞亚群, 通过裂解物中的 ATP 水平来测定淋巴细胞的 功能活化。 该文献中提到了使用肿瘤细胞蛋白或来自移植物的蛋白作 为刺激抗原,但没有公开使用待测个体自身的肿瘤细胞或其裂解物或 待测个体移植物供者的细胞或其裂解物或 MHC分子作为刺激抗原。 因此, 该现有技术的方法并不是一种个体化的方法。
另一种测定细胞免疫活性的现有技术方法是称为 "混合淋巴细胞 培养(MLC ) " 的方法。 该方法是将器官移植供者的淋巴细胞灭活使 其丧失繁殖能力后作为刺激物与器官移植受者的淋巴细胞共培养 3 - 7天,利用 3H-TdR掺入技术测定受检样品中淋巴细胞的 DNA合成情 况, 从而评价受者免疫细胞对供者淋巴细胞的反应性 ( 见
REINSMOEN NL.5 WARD FE. HISTROY OF HLA AND TRANSPLANTATION IMMUNOLOGY, LONDON. UK: IMPERIAL COLLEGE OF PRESS 2001 ) 。 该方法没有提到连续测定以检测器官 移植受者的细胞免疫活性, 而且该方法需要长时间的共培养, 也不适 于细胞免疫活性的监测。 另外, 该方法没有提到设置以器官移植受者 的细胞或细胞提取物作为刺激物的对照。
在器官移植免疫和抗肿瘤免疫中, 受者对相应供者器官的特异性 排斥免疫功能监测以及肿瘤患者对其肿瘤细胞的特异性抗肿瘤免疫 功能监测具有十分重要的临床应用价值。 因此, 需要一种能准确监测 个体对移植物或肿瘤细胞的特异性免疫活性的方法。 发明概述
本发明提供了一种用于体外监测个体对器官移植物、 肿瘤的特异 性免疫细胞功能的方法。 该方法包括 1) 将含有免疫细胞的该个体的 受检样品与来自器官移植物供者的抗原或包含该供者' MHC /HLA类 型的 MHC/HLA分子库、或与该个体自身的肿瘤抗原或同类肿瘤抗原 库一起培养一段足以活化免疫细胞的时间, 2)将培养后的免疫细胞分 离和 /或分类并测定其活化指标;其中所述来自器官移植物供者的抗原 或所述该个体自身的肿瘤抗原是全肿瘤细胞或含有大部分细胞物质 的细胞提取物; 该方法还包括设置以所述个体自身的抗原或非肿瘤抗 原作为刺激抗原的对照。
在本发明的一个实施方案中, 使用包含供者 MHC/HLA 类型的 MHC/HLA分子库作为刺激抗原, 所述分子库优选为 MHC/HLA I类 分子库、 MHC/HLA II类分子库、 或 MHC/HLA I类和 II类分子的混 合分子库。
在本发明的一个实施方案中, 使用同类肿瘤抗原库作为刺激抗 原, 所述抗原库优选为与患者肿瘤相同种类的全肿瘤细胞抗原库、 肿 瘤亚细胞抗原库或单一肿瘤抗原或多种纯化组分所组成的肿瘤抗原 库。 更优选该抗原库包括某一类肿瘤 (如腺癌、 黑色素细胞瘤等) 的 共同抗原。
本发明来自移植物供者的抗原、 MHC/HLA分子库、 自身肿瘤抗 原和肿瘤抗原库可以在使用时制备, 也可以一次性制备。 优选一次性 制备并储存, 方便随时使用。
在本发明的一个优选实施方案中, 所述个体的受检样品为外周全 血、 骨髓和含免疫细胞的任何生物体液。
在本发明的一个优选实施方案中, 受检样品与抗原的培养时间优 选为 20分钟到 24小时, 更优选为 30分钟到 6小时。
优选对照所用的抗原与刺激抗原平行制备。 发明详述 急性、 急性和慢性排斥反应。 超急性排斥反应主要由受者体内已经存 在的抗供者 HLA分子的抗体和补体引起的体液免疫反应。 而急性、 慢性排斥反应主要由受者针对供者移植物的细胞免疫所介导。 受者的 T细胞通过直接和间接的方式特异性识别供者 HLA, 继而活化增殖, 诱发受者抗移植物的特异性排斥反应。
本发明的发明人发现器官移植的供者细胞及其包括供者 含了供者抗原或移植物抗原的全部信息。 因此, 所述抗原作为体外细 胞免疫测定的特异性刺激原可以更准确地反映器官移植受者体内免 疫细胞的活性。 因此, 本发明的体外监测个体对器官移植物、 肿瘤的 特异性免疫细胞功能的方法中,使用供者细胞或含供者 MHC/HLA的 细胞提取物或含供者 MHC/HLA类型的 MHC/HLA分子抗原库作为个 体化特异性刺激原。 实猃表明: 对于受者的免疫细胞, 含供者 免疫原刺激特性,二者均可特异性地激活受者的供者抗原特异性 T细 胞活化。 在本发明的方法中, 经供者特异性抗原或 MHC/HLA分子刺 激后测定受者免疫细胞的活化标志, 可反映受者免疫细胞对供者移植 物的特异性排斥状态, 从而达到对排斥反应的预测和动态监测, 并为 调整临床免疫治疗用药提供参考指标。
本发明的方法中, 来自器官移植物供者的抗原是供者任何组织细 子。 亚细胞成分是通过物理、 化学、 生物化学、 酶学等方法对组织细 胞处理后获得的包含供者 MHC/HLA分子的成分。 优选, 所述亚细胞 成分是供者细胞的粗提取物, 例如细胞裂解液、 细胞裂解液上清、 细 胞裂解液沉淀等。
在本发明的一个优选实施方案中, 使用含有供者 MHC/HLA分子 类型的 MHC/HLA分子库作为抗原刺激受者的免疫细胞。该分子库包 括全部和大部分移植物的 MHC/HLA分子, 可以是 MHC/HLA I类分 子库、 MHC/HLA II类分子库、或 MHC/HLA I类和 MHC/HLA II类分 子混合的分子库。 MHC/HLA I类分子作为刺激原可以测定受体 CD8+ 的 T细胞 ( CTL ) 的功能, MHC/HLA II类分子作为刺激原可以测定 受体 CD4+的 T细胞(Th ) 的功能。 MHC/HLA分子库可以通过多种 方法技术, 以多种生物细胞、 生物材料为来源获得。 例如噬菌体和细 菌展示生物技术、 亲和层析技术、 DNA重组技术、 DNA转染技术等。 噬菌体展示已证明是一种有利的技术, 利用它可以获得容纳几万甚至 几亿的不同肽或蛋白质的库, 并已应用于重组肽库的亲和筛选。
上述三种 MHC分子库在与某一特定生物个体免疫细胞群体进行 温育或共培养时,分子库中与供者免疫表型类似的 MHC/HLA蛋白可 以通过直接识别途经作用于受者的 T 细胞, 也可以通过间接识别途 经: 受者的 APC细胞可将 MHC/HLA分子加工后提呈给相应的 T淋 巴细胞 (CTL, TH1 , TH2等), 诱导其活化。 如果受检免疫细胞是第 一次接触供者的 MHC/HLA分子, 在设定时间内它们的活化程度、 反 应强度相对低而且弱; 若检测系统中的受检免疫细胞曾经被供者的 MHC/HLA I类或 II类分子所致敏, 则那些被致敏的免疫细胞会在短 时间内迅速活化, 其活化的程度和反应较为强烈。 这在器官移植排斥 反应中尤其显著。 在临床器官移植实践中, 移植手术完成后, 移植受 者的免疫细胞被供者 MHC/HLA分子致敏而处在高敏感状态。在体外 反应系统中, 免疫细胞再次遭遇相同类型的 MHC/HLA分子, 从而迅 速活化并被测量。 因此, 根据移植前后受者免疫细胞对含有与供者相 免疫细胞抗移植物特异性排斥反应的有无和强弱。
本发明中对于受检样品与抗原的培养时间没有特别限制, 根据待 测量的免疫细胞的活化指标不同, 例如可以是 20分钟到 7天。 在本 发明方法的大部分和优选的应用中, 所述培养时间较短, 优选为 20 分钟到 24小时, 更优选为 30分钟到 6小时。 测定免疫细胞早期活化 察。 、 、 、 、 、 、
器官移植受者在接受移植前, 其体内的淋巴细胞应该从未与供者 的抗原接触过, 处在 "静息,, 状态或称非致敏状态; 此时若以供者的 MHC/HLA 分子在体外刺激受者免疫细胞可诱发緩慢而强度较弱(相 对移植后)的免疫细胞活化, 相当于免疫系统与非已抗原的第一次接 触。 根据供者与受者的 MHC/HLA符合程度, 受者细胞免疫反应的强 度也存在不同差异, 即供者与受者 MHC/HLA的符合程度越高则受者 免疫细胞的活化程度越低, 移植后发生排斥反应的发生几率也越低; 反之, 则排斥反应的发生几率将增加。 因此在器官移植前, 本发明所 述及的方法可以作为选择器官移植供者的依据之一。
器官移植后受者需要接受免疫抑制剂的治疗。 如果治疗剂量不 足, 不能防止免疫排斥反应的发生; 如果治疗剂量过大, 会全面抑制 受者的免疫系统, 合并感染等并发症。 免疫功能的测定结果受到个体 差异、 供者与受者的 MHC/HLA符合程度、 免疫抑制药物剂量等多种 因素的影响。 因此, 本发明方法用于对器官移植受者的免疫细胞功能 进行动态跟踪测定, 特别是移植前后和免疫用药前后的动态监测。 从 而做出具有科学依据的正确判断, 为免疫抑制治疗的用药选择、 剂量 调整和个体化治疗方案设计提供客观的参考指标。
在本发明的另一实施方案中, 本发明的方法用于监测肿瘤患者个 体对肿瘤细胞的细胞免疫活性, 以便例如评价肿瘤免疫治疗的效果、 指导肿瘤免疫治疗的用药。 本发明方法中使用的肿瘤患者个体自身的 肿瘤抗原是全肿瘤细胞或含有大部分肿瘤细胞物质的细胞提取物。 所 述细胞提取物可以是经物理、 化学、 生物化学、 酶学等方法对肿瘤组 织或细胞处理后获得的成分,优选为细胞粗提取物,例如细胞裂解液、 细胞裂解液上清、 细胞裂解液沉淀等。 在本发明方法的优选实施方案 中, 利用肿瘤患者自身的肿瘤细胞或细胞提取物制备个体化特异性刺 激原, 来测定肿瘤患者的特异性抗肿瘤细胞免疫活性。
但在临床实践中, 由于种种原因对于许多肿瘤患者不能获得其自 身的肿瘤细胞而不能进行个体化特异性肿瘤抗原制备, 给测定带来困 难。 因此, 针对这种情况, 本发明优选使用多种同类肿瘤细胞制备多 价肿瘤抗原(肿瘤抗原库)作为免疫细胞的刺激物对相应患者的抗肿瘤 细胞免疫功能进行测定。
本发明方法中使用的同类肿瘤抗原库优选为与患者肿瘤相同种 类的全细胞肿瘤抗原库、 亚细胞肿瘤抗原库或单一肿瘤抗原或多种纯 化组分所组成的肿瘤抗原库。 该肿瘤抗原库优选包括某一类肿瘤(如 腺癌、黑色素细胞瘤等)的共同抗原。所述肿瘤抗原库可以通过物理、 生物化学、 常规层析法、 免疫亲和层析法、 密度梯度离心等多种方法 由多个生物个体的同类肿瘤组织或肿瘤细胞系制备。
本发明方法中所检测的免疫细胞为所有直接或间接参与生物机 体免疫反应的任何细胞, 优选 T、 Β淋巴细胞、 ΝΚ细胞和各种抗原 提呈细胞( APC )。其中 Τ淋巴细胞包括细胞毒性 Τ淋巴细胞( CTL )、 辅助性 Τ淋巴细胞 (THO; TH1 ; ΤΗ2)、 记忆性 Τ淋巴细胞、 抑制性 Τ 淋巴细胞等; APC包括树突状细胞、 巨噬细胞、 Β淋巴细胞、 间质细 胞、 纤维母细胞、 纤维细胞等。 此外本发明所述的免疫细胞还包括血 小板、 红细胞、 各种骨髓细胞、 各种干细胞、 各种免疫细胞前体细胞 根据实际需要, 可以先分离需要检测的免疫细胞亚群, 然后用抗 原刺激检测; 或先用抗原刺激混合的免疫细胞, 然后分离亚群检测。 后者为优选。例如测定总 T淋巴细胞 (CD3+)、 CTL(CD8+)> TH(CD4+), NK细胞 (CD16+, CD56+)、 ;8淋巴细胞(0019+或。020+)、 APC细胞 (CD80+/CD83+/CD86+/HLA-DR+)等的反应性。
生物机体的免疫功能状态是各种免疫细胞相互联系 (Communication)、接触 (Contaction)、作用 (Interaction)、调节 (Regulation) 的综合体现。 因此, 在体外检测某细胞群体免疫功能时, 应尽可能保 证其它直接或间接影响该群体某种特定免疫功能的细胞共存于同一 测定体系中, 以避免检测结果的片面性和不客观性。 例如, 在检测某 生物体 T淋巴细胞功能时,优选保留相应的抗原提呈细胞存在于同一 检测系统之中, 从而保证 T淋巴特异性识别系统的完整性; 另外, 在 测定 NK细胞或 B细胞免疫功能的反应体系中应优选包含 T淋巴细 胞。 因此, 本发明特别优选使用原始样品作为测定对象。 原始样品定 义为直接来自生物体经最少处理或不经任何处理的含免疫细胞的体 液样品, 主要包括全外周血、 全骨髓、 去除红细胞的有核细胞混合群 体、 腹腔液、 胸腔液、 关节液或经离心后获取的腹腔液、 胸腔液、 脑 脊液、 关节液。
本发明中所述的细胞分离可以使用任何能将混合细胞中的某特 定群体分离的物理、 免疫、 生物学等方法, 包括但不限于离心、 密度 梯度离心、 自然沉降、 非特异性吸附、 固相吸附、 免疫磁珠吸附、 聚 苯乙烯微珠免疫吸附、 聚苯乙烯微孔板吸附, 以及使用单或多标记技 术 (如单或多色荧光标记)在相应仪器 (如流式细胞仪、 荧光显微镜等) 上对各种免疫细胞进行分类鉴别的任何方法。
本发明方法中所测定的免疫细胞活化指标可以是细胞形态变化、 细胞数目变化、 细胞酶学变化 (如酪氨酸蛋白激酶; PTKs; Ras-MAP 激酶; ZAP-70激酶等)、 细胞内离子浓度变化 (如 Ca++浓度)、 细胞内 外受体变化(如 IL-2 受体等)、 特异性配体表达 (CD40 配体)、 细胞 NF-KB, NFAT, AP-1 , Fas激活表达、 细胞膜通透性变化、 细胞吞 噬功能变化、细胞活化标志蛋白表达 (如 CD分子: CD69, CD25 , CD71, CD95 , CD40等, MHC-I分子, MHC-II分子等); 细胞内能量变化 (如 ATP、 AMP浓度变化等)、细胞分泌各种生物因子的变化 (IL-2, IL-12, TNF; INF γ; IL-4等)、 细胞核变化(细胞核数目、 DNA含量变化等); 细胞功能变化 (杀伤功能、 吞噬功能、 粘附功能等)、 细胞蛋白质浓度 变化等。
免疫细胞受到上述特异性抗原刺激后, 活化的免疫细胞可发生下 列主要细胞生物学变化: 酶学改变, 离子浓度改变、 膜受体改变、 细 胞内 ATP浓度增加;各种 CD分子表达 (CD69, CD25 , CD71 , CD95 , ), MHC分子表达 (MHC-I类分子, MHC-II类分子), 各种细胞因子表达 (IL-2, IL-4, IL-12, INFr等), DNA合成增加 (3H-TdR掺入增加)、 细胞增殖及数目增加 ( CFSE染色流式测定) , CTL细胞毒性杀伤功 能增强(51Cr-释放试验, MTT试验等)。 通过对上述任何一种细胞生物 学变化的测量, 可建立多种抗原特异性细胞免疫功能的测定方法。
本发明中的检测方法为能够对上述活化指标进行相应测量的任 何检测方法, 包括但不限于: ELISA, 细胞 ELISA(Cellular ELISA), ELISPOT, 发光检测方法(生物发光、 化学发光、 时间延迟发光等), 荧光检测方法(荧光测定仪、 荧光显微镜计数、 流式细胞仪检测方法 等), 同位素检测(如 51Cr释放、 3H-TdR掺入等), 细胞涂片染色检测, 细胞免疫组织化学检测, 细胞色素 (MTT)检测等。 考虑到本发明的方 法用于细胞免疫功能检测, 本发明中优选测定免疫细胞的早期活化指 标, 如各种分子标志的表达、细胞功能的变化、各种细胞因子的分泌、 细胞内离子浓度或能量水平的变化等。 考虑到操作的筒便性, 优选本 发明的方法中不使用同位素试剂。
本发明方法的另一个特征是,设置一个自身抗原作为刺激物的对 照。 所述对照抗原在移植物的情况下为待测个体自身的抗原, 在肿瘤 的情况下为待测个体自身的非肿瘤抗原。在特异性细胞免疫功能的检 测方法学中, 一个突出问题是由于多种因素可以直接或间接影响受检 样品中免疫细胞的反应活性, 导致免疫细胞的非特异性激活, 从而使 •结果分析判定困难。 本发明在检测中设置自身对照以排除非特异性活 化信号的干扰, 实现特异性活化信号的准确测定, 例如本发明方法中 测定特异性抗原刺激后的信号与自身抗原刺激后信号的比值。 该比值 基本取决于特异性抗原对个体免疫细胞的刺激,基本不受非特异性刺 激因素的影响。 因此, 设置自身抗原对照对于特异性细胞免疫功能的 动态检测非常重要, 而现有技术方法中由于缺少这种对照而无法准确 测定特异性细胞免疫功能。
本发明的方法中优选设置空白对照和自身抗原对照。
空白对照: 不加入任何刺激原, 反映受检免疫细胞在没有刺激原 时的功能状况, 用以排除上述非特异性和特异性抗原以外的未知刺激 因素的影响。
自身抗原对照: 使用受检生物个体的全细胞或亚细胞成分作为自 身对照抗原刺激物, 优选为外周血有核细胞。 优选其制备方法和使用 量与特异性刺激原完全相同。 这种自身抗原对照可以较好的反映非特 异性的抗原对受者免疫功能的影响。
特异性抗原: 以器官移植供者的全细胞或亚细胞成分、 或包括供 者 MHC分子的 MHC分子抗原库作为刺激原; 或个体自身的肿瘤抗 原、 同类肿瘤抗原库作为刺激原。
综合分析上述三个检测结果, 比较其相互间差异, 从而对受检个 体的特异性细胞免疫功能做出客观合理的评估。
纵上所述, 与现有技术方法相比, 本发明方法能够更准确地测定 个体针对特定抗原的免疫细胞功能变化, 适于跟踪检测个体的这种免 疫细胞功能变化。 本发明的具体实施方案
