A cell line, JHC-2, was established from the peripheral blood of a patient with hairy cell leukemia (HCL)-Japanese variant. The JHC-2 cells have cytologic features similar to those of the original tumor cells. They displayed hairy cytoplasmic projections by phase contrast and scanning electron microscopy. The tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase reaction was weakly positive. The immunophenotype of the JHC-2 cells was CD5-, CD10-, CD11c+/-, CD19+, CD21+, CD23+, CD24-, CD25+/-, CD38- and FMC-7+. The expression of surface immunoglobulin (IgG, kappa) and the configuration of Ig gene rearrangements in the JHC-2 cells were identical to those in the original leukemic cells, and the JHC-2 cells displayed trisomy 9 on cytogenetic examination. Southern blot analysis for the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) genome showed that the JHC-2 cells contained the EBV genome, although the freshly isolated leukemic cells did not. These results indicate that the JHC-2 cell line is an EBV spontaneously transformed B cell line originating from HCL cells.
