Intended Use

ImmuKnow®-the Cylex®™Immune Cell Function Assay measures the concentration of ATP from circulating CD4 cells following in vitro stimulation with phytohemagglutinin (PHA) as an indicator of immune cell function. This measurement is made on heparin anti-coagulated whole blood using a luminometer and luciferin/luciferase. The assay is used for the detection of cell mediated immune response in populations undergoing immunosuppressive therapy for organ transplant.

Device Story

The Cylex Immune Cell Function Assay measures ATP concentration in CD4 cells to assess immune function. Input: heparin anti-coagulated whole blood. Process: blood incubated 15-18 hours with phytohemagglutinin (PHA) stimulant vs. non-stimulated control; CD4 cells immunoselected using anti-CD4 monoclonal antibody-coated magnetic particles; cells lysed to release intracellular ATP; luminescence reagent (luciferin/luciferase) added. Output: light emission measured by luminometer (562 nm), proportional to ATP concentration. Result: ATP concentration (ng/mL) calculated via calibration curve. Used in clinical laboratory settings to monitor immune status in transplant recipients on immunosuppressive therapy; helps clinicians evaluate cell-mediated immune response.

Clinical Evidence

Multi-center study of 122 subjects (44 healthy adults, 78 transplant recipients). Evaluated ATP results (ng/mL) against total CD4 counts. Transplant recipients showed lower mean ATP (274 ng/mL) compared to healthy adults (449 ng/mL). Data provided for immune cell function assay results (≤260 vs >260 ng/mL) and CD4 counts (≤350 vs >350) across both populations.

Technological Characteristics

In vitro diagnostic assay using anti-CD4 monoclonal antibody-coated magnetic particles for immunoselection. Detection via luminometer (562 nm emission) using luciferin/luciferase bioluminescence reaction. Requires heparin anti-coagulated whole blood. Calibration curve-based quantification of ATP (ng/mL).

Indications for Use

Indicated for the detection of cell-mediated immune response in patients undergoing immunosuppressive therapy for organ transplantation.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

An automated differential cell counter is a device used to identify one or more of the formed elements of the blood. The device may also have the capability to flag, count, or classify immature or abnormal hematopoietic cells of the blood, bone marrow, or other body fluids. These devices may combine an electronic particle counting method, optical method, or a flow cytometric method utilizing monoclonal CD (cluster designation) markers. The device includes accessory CD markers.

Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special control for this device is the FDA document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Premarket Notifications for Automated Differential Cell Counters for Immature or Abnormal Blood Cells; Final Guidance for Industry and FDA.”

This measurement is made on heparin anti-coagulated whole blood using a luminometer and luciferin/luciferase. The assay is used for the detection of cell mediated immune response in populations undergoing immunosuppressive therapy for organ transplant. Test Description The Cylex Immune Cell Function Assay detects cell-mediated immunity in whole blood after a 15-18 hour incubation with stimulant. During incubation, increased ATP synthesis occurs within the cells that respond to the stimulant phytohemagglutinin (PHA). Concurrently, whole blood is incubated in the absence of stimulant for the purpose of assessing basal ATP activity. Anti-CD4 monoclonal antibody coated magnetic particles are added to immunoselect CD4 cells from both the stimulated and non-stimulated wells. After washing the selected CD4 cells on a magnet tray, Lysis Reagent is added to release intracellular ATP. Addition of Luminescence Reagent (luciferin/luciferase) to the released ATP produces light according to the following equation: Mg24 Luciferin +ATP +O2 Luciferase Oxyluciferin +AMP +Pyrophosphate +CO2 + Light The amount of light measured by a luminometer (emission maximum 562 nm) is proportional to the concentration of ATP. The concentration of ATP (ng/mL) is calculated from a calibration curve and compared to ATP level ranges to characterize the cellular immune function of the sample. 510(k) Summary - 1 81 {1}------------------------------------------------ ## 510(K) SUMMARY ### Cvlex Inc. Immune Cell Function Assay (cont.) # Substantial Equivalence: The Cylex Inc. Immune Cell Function Assay has been found to be substantially equivalent to the Becton Dickinson TriTest™ CD4 FITC/CD8 PE/CD3 PerCP Reagent (K971205) and MultiTest™ CD3 FITC/CD8 PE/CD45 PerCP/CD4 ACP Reagent (K974360). All assays differentiate CD4 cells; the Cylex assay determines the responsiveness of those cells and the Becton Dickinson assays count the number of those cells. A multi-center study was conducted on freshly drawn blood collected from 44 apparently healthy adults and 78 transplant recipients (17 at discharge from the hospital and 61 post-discharge follow-up). The samples were evaluated with the Cylex Immune Cell Function Assay. The apparently healthy adult population consisted of 11% (5) females, 86% (38) males and 3% (1) unknown, with an age range of 20 - 60 years. The ethnicity of the population was 80% (35) African American, 16% Caucasian (7), and 4% (2) other or unknown. The transplant population consisted of 33% (26) females and 67% (52) males, with an age range of 20 - 64 years. The ethnicity of the population was 15% (12) African American, 74% Caucasian (58), 10% (8) other or unknown. The organs transplanted were 55% (43) liver, 36% (28) kidney, 4% (3) pancreas, and 5% (4) multiple organs. The means of the two populations were found to be statically different, the results are summarized in the following table. | Population | Apparently Healthy | Transplant | |-------------------------------------------------------|--------------------|------------| | Cylex Inc.
