4. Laboratory Indicators of Clinical Acute Inflammation Response (Sepsis) Standard of Care Diagnostic Assays of Infection Leukocyte Counts (neutrophilia) - CBC –absolute counts –band counts or left shift (immaturity index) Cultures for suspected infection Sedimentation Rate C-Reactive Protein (CRP) New Generation Assays of Sepsis Granulocyte CD64 Cytokine and receptor levels (intracellular or plasma, TNF-a, IL-6, IL-12, CD14, CD16, etc.) Procalcitonin plasma levels Endotoxin Activity Assay

5. Scientific Basis for Quantitative PMN CD64 as an Improved Diagnostic Test of Infection/Sepsis PMN CD64 expression is negligible in the healthy state (<2,000 molecules per cell) - low false positive rate PMN CD64 expression becomes elevated under the influence of the inflammatory related cytokines, such as interferon- (3-4 hrs), G-CSF (4-6 hrs), IL-12 Increased PMN CD64 expression results in enhanced antibody-mediated functional responses (phagocytosis, oxidative burst, bactericidal activity) in PMNs – pathophysiologically significant change PMN CD64 becomes elevated in the presence of infection/sepsis –Final cytokine pathway effect at cellular level – barometer of sickness –Better performance than cell counts, left shift, and CRP High specificity - PMN CD64 expression is not elevated in: –Malignancy of myeloid cells (CML, MPD, MDS) –Any drug therapy (other than cytokines) –Clinical conditions with localized tissue damage (myocardial ischemia, uncomplicated surgery, and exercise injury) –pregnancy

10. Trillium Diagnostics Leuko64 Assay: Performance Criteria Kit stability of 3 years – long outdate Excellent precision –<5% CV intra-assay reproducibility –<10% CV inter-assay or inter-instrument reproducibility Total assay time less than 1 hour Stable results on blood samples stored up to 30 hours at room temperature Software requiring minimal user interaction, databasing capability, and editable report generation Works on all models of clinical 3-6 color flow cytometers

11. Leuko64 Software: Automated cluster finding gating of calibration beads Calibration Bead Gating Purpose of calibration beads: Instrument set-up CD64 Index CD163 Index Lot to lot correlations

12. Software uses cluster finding algorithms to locate lymphocytes, monocytes, and granulocytes. Lymphocytes serve as an internal negative control (CD64 negative) and software will alert user if lymphocyte gate has a CD64 index greater than 1.00

13. Monocytes serve as an internal positive control (monocytes normally have moderate levels of CD64) and software will alert user if monocyte gate has a CD64 index less than 3.00, which may indicate need for gate adjustment or failure to add proper antibody volume (reagent A).

14. PMN CD64 Index reported with values of < 1.00 typical of healthy individuals Software has database function that can imported into Microsoft Excel

15. PMN CD64 Index reported with values of >1.50 indicative of infection
