“…Our results show that in PNH, CD59 has a predominant unimodal pattern of expression on PLTs, monocytes, CD16 + , and BDCA3 ‐ myeloid DCs, as well as on all lymphoid cell subsets analyzed, in the absence of a clear discrimination between the patients’ PNH and normal residual cells for all PB‐cell subsets, except RBCs and neutrophils. Because of this, routine use of CD59 for the diagnosis of PNH on PB‐cell subsets other than RBCs and neutrophils could be suboptimal, in line with previous aberrations made by others 23,25 . Similarly, expression of CD55 was decreased on RBCs with a unimodal pattern being found in most cases; in addition, CD55 only showed a bimodal pattern of expression among the other PB‐cell populations analyzed in between 50 and 86 percent of the cases, all other PNH patients showing a decreased unimodal pattern of expression of CD55.…”
