PG - 339-44 AB - Bivariate flow cytometry (FCM) was used to study immunofluorescent T16 mouse monoclonal antibody (Mab) binding simultaneously with propidium iodide DNA measurements in bladder irrigation specimens from 30 patients with a history of bladder cancer. Aliquots of the same samples were stained with acridine orange (AO) and examined by conventional FCM. T16 Mab is believed to be specific for epithelial cells in this type of specimen and stained from 13% of the cells in a patient with cystitis to 95% of the cells in a patient with an atypical papilloma. In combination with DNA measurements, this antibody increased the sensitivity of FCM in patients with severe cystitis and relatively small numbers of tumor cells, but the diagnostic specificity may be decreased and the criteria established for interpreting univariate flow cytometry may have to be re-evaluated and modified.
