The T1 surface antigen (CD5,p67) expression on blood lymphocytes (PBL) and lymphoid cells from lymph node biopsies (LN) from 31 patients with B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) and 79 with B non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL), was detected in 25 B-CLL (80 per cent) and in 11 B-NHL (13 per cent) belonging to the following histologic subtypes: lymphocytic of CLL type (DLWD) one case, lymphoplasmacytoid (DLWD) four cases, centrocytic (DLPD) five cases, immunoblastic (DH) one case. All B-CLL and the T1 + B-NHL were also tested with monoclonal antibodies against the Common Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Antigen, B cells (FMC7, FMC8, BA1, Y29-55), T cells (OKT11a), HLA-DR and HLA-DQ monomorphic determinants. All the B-CLL and the T1+ B-NHL were CALLA-, BA1+, Y29.55+. FMC7+ cells were detected in large numbers six B-CLL (three T1+ and three T1-) and in four centrocytic lymphomas. FMC8 reacted with 70 per cent of leukemias (where it stained 30 per cent of neoplastic cells) and with 8/9 T+ B-NHL. HLA-DR and HLA-DQ molecules were detected in 100 per cent and 90 per cent of cases respectively. In vitro treatment of HLA-DQ- or T1- B-CLL with phorbol ester TPA led to the expression of these antigens as well as of the receptors for Interleukin 2 and MLR3 activation antigen. Surface membrane Ig (SIg) was detected in 79 per cent of cases, its density measured by FACS analysis varied, even markedly, from case to case. Among the B-CLL, cells with high SIg content were either T1+ or T1- and more likely FMC7+. The SIg- cases were seven B-CLL (five T1+ and two T1-) and two B-NHL, in which, however, cytoplasmic IgM was detected. This study reveals the existence of four major B-CLL subgroups: T1- SIg-, T1+ SIg+, T1+ SIg+, T1- SIg+. It also indicates that the T1 antigen may be transitionally present during B-cell differentiation and that its expression may precede that of SIg as supported by the in vitro studies. In addition, the finding that some B-NHL are T1+ suggests that they derive similarly to the B-CLL from a common progenitor.

The WSU-NHL cell line was established from a malignant pleural effusion occurring in a 46-yr-old female with nodular histiocytic (follicular, large cell) lymphoma. The established cells grow in clumps with a doubling time of 57 h. On light microscopy, cells exhibited primitive lymphoblastoid morphologic features with few cytoplasmic blebs. DNA histogram generated by flow cytometry indicated a hypodiploid stemline (0.93). Immunologic study revealed a mature B-cell phenotype with surface and cytoplasmic IgG lambda and reactivity with monoclonal antibodies to B-cell antigens (B1, B4, BL1, BL3, BL4, BL7, HLA-DR, CALLA and Leu-10). The cells were negative for T-cell and myeloid-monocyte antigens as well as Epstein-Barr virus nuclear antigen (EBNA). Cytogenetic analysis revealed 45,XX metaphases with complex abnormalities including t(14;18) (q32;q21). The phorbol ester, 12-O tetradecanoylphorbol 13 acetate (TPA) (1.6 x 10(-8) M) and interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) (500 U/ml) inhibited cell growth and induced differentiation to a more mature phenotype. The WSU-NHL cell line provides a continuous source of cells for molecular and immunologic studies of human lymphoma as well as the regulation of its growth and differentiation by biologic agents.

Malignant and non-neoplastic cells in 38 cases of highly malignant non-Hodgkin lymphomas: 3 centrocytic anaplastic, 18 centroblastic, 13 immunoblastic and 4 lymphoblastic (according to the Kiel classification) were immunophenotyped in cryosections and cell suspensions by means of monoclonal antibodies. Additionally, cell cycle analysis on cell suspensions was performed by DNA flow cytofluorometry. In 33 (87%) lymphomas the malignant cells expressed monoclonal surface immunoglobulin (Ig), which indicated B-cell origin of tumors. In 7 of the 19 B-cell lymphomas tested by the peroxidase-antiperoxidase method, cytoplasmic Ig was found. Four lymphomas were of T-cell and one of non-B/non-T-cell origin. In II B-cell and 2 lymphoblastic non-B-cell tumors, common acute lymphoblastic leukemia antigen (CALLA) was found. In 25 of 30 studied NHL the malignant cells expressed receptor for transferrin and in 19 of 28 cases a high percentage of cells in S-phase (greater than 10.85%) was found. Number and distribution as well as type of non-B-cells infiltrating B-cell-derived lymphomas varied considerably from case to case. Among these cells Leu 3+ (T helper/inducer) cells predominated. Leu 2+ (T suppressor/cytotoxic) and Leu 7+ (natural killer and killer) cells constituted less numerous groups. Correlation of cytodiagnostic analyses with clinical observations indicates that high content of infiltrating T cells may be a favorable prognostic feature in highly malignant B-cell lymphomas.

The present AML protocol which only applies one anthracycline associated with arabinosyl-cytosine gives a first remission plateau of 65% and a 75% survival plateau at five years. Contrary to other teams, we do not apply the allogenic bone marrow graft at the first remission but at the second one. The new protocol comprises application of two anthracyclines, adriamycin and aclacinomycin, a possible autologous bone marrow graft at first remission upon reinforcement, a combination of methotrexate and thioguanine as maintenance chemotherapy and immunotherapy with bestatine. The two protocols respectively applied to the ALL good prognosis and reserved prognosis, give 85% global survival. The autologous bone marrow graft is added at first remission to B or T forms or voluminous CALLA + types. The advantage of CNS radiotherapy is compared with its disadvantages. Bestatine is employed in immunotherapy. The immunoprevention protocol applied to CML blastic crisis (vaccination with a pool of CB blasts) from the second year has prolonged survival of patients suffering from this affection and also treated by splenectomy and hydroxyurea. Allogeneic or autologous bone marrow graft is added to the protocol. The same protocol is applied to not very aggressive LLC and LNH (lymphocytic and centrofollicular with small cleaved nucleus cells) and includes maximum remission induced by chemotherapy followed by immunotherapy (by thymuline and then, if immunity disorders are not corrected, by zinc, then bestatine and finally tuftsin). A similar sequence was applied to the myeloma, comprising MLP-PDN-CPM chemotherapy to induce remission, combination of MLP-PDN and CPM and, if there is resistance, CLB, 6-TG, PDN and TNP. Interferon is appropriate with certain cytopenic forms. A protocol comprising VCR, ADM, PDN, CPM and TNP is applied to centrofollicular NHL with small non cleaved nucleus cells or large cells. As Hoerni and Jones have obtained significant benefits with BCG, its terminal application is compared with that of bestatine. Finally a less mutagenic protocol than MOPP and/or ABVD is proposed for Hodgkin's disease. In this protocol, two cycles alternate, and they combine: a) firstly VCR, PDN, THP-ADM and VPS, and b) secondly VLB, DXM, ACM and TNP with alternatively BLM and PPM between the cycles. This chemotherapy is followed by the same immunorestoration protocol as that applied to LLC and myeloma.

BCL1/PRAD1 is the gene locus involved in the t(11;14)(q13;q32) translocation, which often occurs in a proposed subtype of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of B-cell phenotype (B-NHL), named mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). When 67 Japanese patients with B-NHL were examined using two separate probes composed of the BCL1 MTC probe and the PRADI cDNA probe, rearrangement of BCL1/PRAD1 or overexpression of PRAD1 was detected in 11 patients. Among 13 patients with MCL, 8 had the abnormalities (61%) and the MTC probe detected the BCL1 rearrangement in 5 (38%). Five of the 6 MCL patients studied (83%) showed PRAD1 overexpression. These frequencies were compatible with those reported for Western patients. Although the remaining three with BCL1/PRAD1 abnormalities were diagnosed as having other histologies, 11 patients had advanced diseases, with dissemination to the extranodal sites. Except for one with diffuse large cell lymphoma, they had a slowly progressive disease, and none of the patients displayed clinical or pathological transformation. The tumor cells usually expressed CD5 and lacked CD10. The cells were completely uniform in the expression of IgM and/or IgD, and in the absence of C mu gene deletion. It thus appears that B-malignancies involving the BCL1/PRAD1 locus constitute a refined disease entity.

The TAL1 gene is altered as a consequence of t(1;14)(p32;q11) found in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and shows site specific recombination (tald rearrangement). We investigated TAL1 gene alterations in 39 children with T-cell ALL, in 32 with B-precursor ALL, in three with ALL with myeloid-associated antigen, and in 18 with T-non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (T-NHL). tald rearrangement was found in nine of 39 T-cell ALL patients using Southern blot analysis with a TAL1 gene probe. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products predicted from the sequences of the corresponding tald alleles were shown in all of these patients. In contrast, no rearranged band was observed in other kinds of leukemia or in T-NHL patients. All of these patients with tald rearrangement had CD1- CD2+ CD4- CD7+ CD10- pheno-type. Of these, seven were classified as stage I thymic differentiation, and eight have survived for three to 59 months remission. Four of seven patients investigated had normal karyotypes, which has been reported to be associated with a good prognosis in T-cell ALL. We conclude that tald rearrangement is restricted to T-cell ALL, for which it provides a useful clonal marker. Such patients with this rearrangement may constitute a subgroup of T-cell ALL with a good prognosis.

Results of immunophenotypic examinations of peripheral blood and/or bone marrow (BM), involved in low-grade B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, were compared with the results of cytomorphological and histopathological examinations in 133 adult patients. 69 cases of chronic B-lymphocytic leukaemia (B-CLL), 16 centrocytic (CC) lymphomas, 14 centroblastic-centrocytic (CB/CC) lymphomas, 15 immunocytomas (IC), 10 cases of hairy cell leukaemia (HCL), four prolymphocytic leukaemias (PLL), two B-CLL in transformation, one splenic lymphoma with villous lymphocytes (SLVL), one hairy cell leukaemia variant (HCL-V), and one lymphocytic lymphoma (LC) were classified according to the Kiel and/or FAB classification. Leukaemic disease was found in 105 cases. The following markers were used for immunocytology (APAAP technique) of blood and/or BM smears: CD19, CD5, CD10, CD11c, CD14, CD21, CD22, CD23, CD25, CD38 and TdT. All cases tested showed CD19, but no TdT expression. Every case of HCL had a distinct phenotype with expression of CD11c, CD22 and CD25 and the lack of CD5 and CD23 antigens. In all other NHL cases a very heterogenous expression of CD-antigens with no significant correlations to the cytomorphological subtypes was found. The expression of CD5 is a frequent but inconstant finding in lymphoproliferative diseases other than B-CLL, so 50% of CB/CC, 75% of CC and 80% of IC were CD5 positive. Our results indicate that, with the exception of HCL, the diagnostic relevance of immunophenotyping for the classification of cytomorphologically and histopathologically defined subtypes in blood and/or BM is of very limited value.

Clinical, histologic, cytogenetic, and molecular genetic data of 31 patients with extranodal, nodal, and splenic marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (MZBCL) are presented. Despite these variable clinical manifestations, a similar spectrum of morphologic features as well as distinctive immunophenotypic findings were noted. In all cases, a monotypic B-cell proliferation consistently negative for CD5, CD10, and CD23 was found expanding the marginal zone of the B follicle with and without colonization of the follicle centers. Clonal chromosomal abnormalities were detected in 23 of the 31 patients. Recurrent aberrations included whole or partial trisomy 3 (18 cases), trisomy 18 (9 cases), and structural rearrangements of chromosome 1 with breakpoints in 1q21 (9 cases) or 1p34 (6 cases), all of which were seen in extranodal, nodal, as well as splenic MZBCL. Abnormalities of the additional chromosome 3, such as +del(3)(p13),+i(3)(q10), or structural changes involving the distal part of the long arm, were evident in 9 of the 18 cases. All recurrent abnormalities were found in MZBCL more frequently than in other histologic entities of B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (B-NHL). None of the known lymphoma-associated chromosomal changes or rearrangements of the BCL1, BCL2, BCL3, BCL6, and CMYC genes were detected. We conclude that MZBCL represent a distinct entity of B-NHL with characteristic morphologic and immunophenotypic features and particular chromosomal abnormalities, and that a close histogenetic relationship between extranodal, nodal, and splenic MZBCL is likely, although the clinical presentation may vary.

Peripheral blood, bone marrow and/or lymph nodes of 77 patients with T- and B-ALLs/lymphomas were characterized for their surface membrane marker profiles using flow cytometry and fluorescence microscopy. Purine metabolism enzyme activities were compared with membrane immunophenotypes. T and B-ALLs/lymphomas subtypes were defined by the expression of surface membrane antigens detected by the monoclonal antibodies. Based on immunophenotyping we found the following characteristic marker profiles: in T-ALL-CD7, CD2, CD1, CD5, CD3, CD4, CD8, CD38, CD71; in T-NHL-CD7,CD2,CD3,CD4,CD5,CD6; in pre-B ALL-CD10, CD19, CD24, HLA-DR, CD34, in B-ALL-CD19, CD20, CD24, HLA-DR, SmIg with kappa or lamda light chains; in B-ALL-weak SmIg, kappa or lambda, CD19, CD20, CD24, CD5, HLA-DR; in B-NHL-CD19, CD20, CD22, CD24, CD5, more intensive SmIg, kappa or lambda. The cells of leukemic cases tended to have more immature phenotypes than those of lymphoma cases. Analysis of purine metabolism enzyme activities showed that there was a correlation between the values of adenosine deaminase (ADA) and purine nucleoside (PNP) and various types of T- and B-ALLs/lymphomas. ADA levels in B-NHL and B-CLL were lower than those in normal cells, while ADA level in T-ALL, T-NHL, pre-B-ALL and B-ALL was higher (the average 185,92,73,63 pkat. 10(-6)cells, respectively). ADA activity was significantly different between lymphocytes of control group and T-ALL(p<0.01), between T-ALL and T-NHL(p<0.05), between T-NHL and B-NHL(p<0.05) and between T-ALL and B-NHL(p<0.05). PNP activities were lower to those in normal cells. ADA/PNP ratio increased mostly in T-ALL, less in T-NHL, pre-B-ALL and B-ALL (10.8 and 5.3 and 2.2, and 2.0 respectively). ADA/PNP ratio was significantly different between T-ALL and pre-B-ALL(p<0.05) and between T-ALL and B-NHL(p<0.05).

In order to identify helpful markers in the classification of mantle cell lymphoma, a morphological, immunohistochemical and molecular genetic analysis of 41 cases of NHL, originally referred to us as CC, ILL or IDL, was performed. We revised these lymphomas using the strict morphological criteria described in the updated Kiel classification and the more recently described criteria for MCL. The term MCL was used to designate the small lymphocytic B-cell NHL, previously referred to as CC or ILL/ IDL. This revision yielded 20 MCL, 8 CLL, 3 Cb/Cc, 1 CB, 6 IC and 3 MALT lymphomas. The presence of scattered histiocytes was seen in 90% of MCL and 5% of the other cases. No other morphological parameter, besides the used criteria, differentiated between MCL and similar small lymphocytic B cell lymphomas. Helpful immunohistochemical markers to distinguish MCL from similar small lymphocytic lymphomas were CD5+, CD10-, CD23- and Alkaline Phosphatase+. Large fields of dendritic reticulum cells, often in a loose and disrupted arrangement were seen in 82% of MCL and in 19% of the other lymphomas. Analysis with Southern blotting showed a rearrangement in the BCL-1 locus in 12/20 cases of MCL but not in the other 21 lymphomas. Although very specific for MCL, Southern blotting to detect BCL-1 rearrangements is, due to the large number of probes necessary, not of great help in daily practice for routine diagnostic purposes. We conclude that using strict morphological criteria, the diagnosis MCL can be made reliably and that immunophenotyping is helpful in supporting the diagnosis.
