Abstract
We demonstrate the prognostic utility of antigen quantitation in chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) and monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis (MBL). Median antibody-bound-per-cell (ABC) of CD20, CD22, CD25, CD19, and %CD38(+) was determined in CLL (185/208), SLL (8/208) and MBL (15/208) cases by flow cytometry, then compared to Dohner-classification, immunoglobulin status (mutated, IGHV-M; unmutated, IGHV-U), CLL-IPI risk and time to first treatment (TTFT). Trisomy 12 cases showed increased %CD38-expression (p = .0379). Higher %CD38 was observed in IGHV-U versus IGHV-M (p = .0003). CD20ABC was increased in IGHV-U versus IGHV-M (p = .006). Del13q cases demonstrated lower CD22ABC (p = .0198). Cases without cytogenetic abnormality exhibited higher CD19ABC (p = .0295) and CD22ABC (p = .0078). Del17p cases demonstrated lower CD25ABC (p = .0097). High and very-high CLL-IPI risk groups were associated with high CD38-expression (p = .02) and low CD25ABC (p = .0004). Shortened TTFT was associated with high CD38-expression (p < .0001). Interestingly, high CD25ABC trended toward shortened TTFT (p = .07). Quantitative antigen expression reflects CLL-IPI risk groups and Dohner-classification.

Abstract
Objective Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is an adult leukemia presented with clonal accumulation of lymphocytes. Immunophenotypic changes can be effective in predicting clinical course, the survival of patients, and determining first-line treatment. This is a study of the association between immunophenotypic markers with complete blood cell count (CBC) values and clinical parameters. Results Peripheral blood samples were collected from 35 newly diagnosed CLL patients. The expression of immunophenotypic markers and CBC were evaluated. Platelet counts and hemoglobin concentration had a significant, inverse association with Rai staging, modified Rai staging, Binet staging systems (all p < 0.001 in both parameters), and splenomegaly (p = 0.001 and 0.007, respectively). The platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) had a significant, inverse association with Rai staging (p = 0.014), modified Rai staging (p = 0.024), Binet staging systems (p = 0.027), and splenomegaly (p = 0.033). However, CD38, CD25, and double-positive CD56/CD117 expression, group 3 of innate lymphocyte cells (ILC3s), had no significant association with clinical parameters. In regression analysis, that ILC3s has an inverse correlation with neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (r = −0.340, p = 0.046). Given that there is an inverse association between PLR and advanced clinical stages, it seems that PLR may have prognostic value in CLL.

Abstract
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is one of the most commonly occurring adult leukemias that is associated with clonal accumulation of mature apoptosis-resistant B-cells in bone marrow, peripheral blood, and specific tissues. Different pathogenesis factors can contribute to the aggression of the clinical course in this disease. Cytogenetic abnormalities and surface biomarkers of neoplastic CLL cells can be effective in the outcome of CLL, and the examination of changing CD markers expressions in the progression of CLL can be related to the prognosis of this disease. Changing expression levels of CD markers on lymphocytes and other cells in CLL patients can play a role in the aggressive clinical outcomes such as organomegaly, immunodeficiency, and advanced disease stages through their interaction with CLL microenvironment. Given the involvement of CD markers in the pathogenesis of CLL, it can be stated that recognizing the expression changes of CD markers in the cells involved in CLL can be a proper approach to evaluate prognosis among these patients.
