METHOD FOR DETERMINING PROTEOLYTIC MODIFICATION OF CELL RECEPTORS ON SIMULATED RECOVERED PERIPHERAL BLOOD LYMPHOCYTES Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC G01N33/533 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: recovered lymphocytes are incubated in the presence of an enzyme in an incubation medium, and then the cells are washed from the enzyme. They are coloured by monoclonal antibodies containing a fluorescent label to relevant surface cell receptor determinants and compared to a reference, wherein the cells are incubated in an enzyme-free medium or in the presence of proteolytic enzyme inhibitors. The lymphocyte receptor expression is determined by flow cytometry.

EFFECT: using the given method enables detecting the proteolysis sensitive receptors and assessing the activity of enzymes and their inhibitors qualitatively.
