Background
Normal human mature erythrocytes do not contain cell nuclei, have the main components of protein and iron, have the capacity of transporting oxygen, and nucleated erythrocytes belong to the initial juvenile state in the erythrocyte development process and generally exist in bone marrow.
The clinical significance is as follows:
1. hyperplastic anemia: most commonly seen in various anemias, acute blood loss anemia, megaloblastic anemia, severe hypopigmented anemia; the appearance of late or intermediate erythroblasts is common; the appearance of nucleated red blood cells in peripheral blood indicates that erythroid hyperplasia in bone marrow is obviously active;
2. erythroleukemia, erythroleukemia: the abnormal proliferation of immature erythrocyte in marrow and releasing into blood, and the abnormal proliferation of primitive erythrocyte and early erythrocyte is common;
3. extramedullary hematopoiesis: when bone marrow fibrosis is carried out, tissues such as spleen, liver, lymph node and the like recover the hematopoietic function of embryonic period, and because the tissues lack the regulation and control capability on the release of blood cells, a large amount of immature blood cells enter peripheral blood; the erythroblasts at all developmental stages are visible, and the immature granulocytes and megakaryocytes can be seen;
4. and others: such as metastatic cancer of the bone marrow, severe hypoxia, etc.
Currently, more and more blood cell analyzers have a function of detecting nucleated red blood cells, and in order to ensure the accuracy of the measured value, quality control is required, that is, detection is performed using a quality control product containing nucleated red blood cell-simulating particles.
US patent US5559037(Kim et al) discloses a method for flow cytometric analysis of nucleated red blood cells and white blood cells. This method uses fluorescence, low angle light scattering and axial light loss measurements to distinguish NRBC from white blood samples. US5879900(Kim et al) further discloses a method of discriminating NRBC, leukocytes and damaged leukocytes, and a method of providing leukocyte differentiation in blood samples by flow cytometry, which has the disadvantage of poor accuracy.
US patents US7176031 and US 69662817 disclose methods of simulating human nucleated red blood cells using artificially synthesized particles. The method has the defects of complex production process and high cost of the synthesized particles. US patent US7354767 discloses a method for preparing nucleated red blood cell mimetic particles using normal mammalian red blood cells (without nuclei). The simulated particles prepared by the method are close to the nucleus size of human nucleated red blood cells, and are suitable for a blood cell analyzer for detecting the nucleated red blood cells by adopting an impedance method. However, such a mimic particle does not contain a nucleus and is not suitable for mimicking the fluorescent properties of human nucleated red blood cells stained with a specific fluorescent dye. The technical scheme disclosed in the U.S. Pat. No. 3,95919 is to link biomacromolecules (such as nucleic acid, skin chain, etc.) on the surface of erythrocytes to make them able to simulate the fluorescence characteristics of human nucleated erythrocytes. The method has the disadvantages of complex process and high cost of biomacromolecules as raw materials.
US6723563 and US6653137 propose nucleated erythrocyte-simulating particles prepared from erythrocytes of birds (such as turkeys or chickens), reptiles (such as alligator sinensis) or fish (such as frogs). US patents 6406915, US6403377, US6399388, US6221668 and US6200500 disclose methods for preparing nucleated red blood cell mimetic particles using turkey red blood cells. US patent US6448085 discloses a method for preparing nucleated red blood cell mimetic particles using chicken red blood cells. US6187590 and US 58790 disclose methods for preparing nucleated red blood cell mimetic particles using red blood cells from turkey, chicken and frog crouch fish. US7285417, US7135341 and US7198953 disclose methods of preparing nucleated red blood cell mimetic particles using alligator cells. The common points of the technical schemes are as follows: animal erythrocytes with nuclei, including avian, reptilian and fish erythrocytes, are used to mimic human nucleated erythrocytes. The disadvantage of this method is that the majority of birds, reptiles and fish erythrocytes are elliptical in shape and differ significantly from the near-circular shape of human nucleated erythrocytes. Thus, in some cases, these animal nucleated red blood cells do not mimic well the characteristics of human nucleated red blood cells. For example, when cells are examined by flow cytometry, elliptical cells do not pass through the flow cell in the same direction, thus producing forward scattered light signals of widely varying sizes, whereas circular or near-circular cells do not.
Therefore, the methods for preparing the nucleated red blood cell simulated particles in the prior art all have certain defects, and a preparation method of the nucleated red blood cell simulated particles with simple process, high yield and good product stability is urgently needed.
