Dendritic cells (DC) have been isolated from blood, lymphoid tissue, and other tissues, as potential members of a hemopoietic lineage of specialist APC for naive T lymphocyte activation. To define human bone marrow (BM) DC we have attempted to identify allostimulatory cells with DC-like characteristics among human BM mononuclear cells (BMMC) by FACS cell sorting and immunophenotyping, monitoring the APC function of different cell lineages in the human primary MLR. We show that fresh human BM stimulates allogeneic T lymphocytes with an activity equal to or greater than that of peripheral blood. As with DC from other tissue sources, the most potent stimulatory activity was found in the low density BMMC, and these cells, like peripheral blood, stimulated a maximal allogeneic MLR response at days 5 to 6. FACS purification of the allostimulatory population in fresh human BMMC was undertaken by using a wide range of mAb directed against lineage-associated molecules of mature and immature lymphoid, erythroid, and myeloid cells. The most potent constitutive BMMC stimulatory activity was located in the CD3-, CD11b-, CD14-, CD15-, CD16-, CD19-, CD57-, and glycophorin A- population. A mixture of antibodies to these Ag was used to isolate a "mix-negative" BMMC population, which contained the most highly potent MLR-stimulatory cells. Further cytologic and immunophenotypic analysis of this population revealed an enriched population of HLA-DP+, HLA-DQ+, HLA-DR+, and CD45+ cells, with morphologic similarities to the human tonsil and blood DC. These cells were CD4- and CD1a- and were weakly CD33+ (but CD15-), suggesting a possible early myeloid origin distinct from both the committed granulocytic and monocytic lineages. In addition, they lacked both CD10 and CD20, making a lymphoid origin unlikely. Further identification of these putative DC precursors will allow analysis of the early phases of DC hemopoiesis, whereas the characterization of the MLR-stimulatory cells in human BM will be of major importance in the understanding of BM transplant failure and graft-vs-host disease.

The immunophenotype of 304 adult lymphoblastic leukemias (> 18 years) diagnosed on the basis of the FAB criteria was determined at the time of diagnosis using a panel of monoclonal antibodies. The series comprised cases diagnosed and immunophenotyped in 43 Italian centers (GIMEMA Cooperative Group) between April 1988 and June 1991. The immunophenotypic characterization consisted of two consecutive steps. The initial screening was based on the reactivity for TdT, HLA-Dr, CD7, CD10, CD13, CD19, CD24, CD33 and CD41. According to the results obtained, the second level of investigation assessed the positivity for intra cytoplasmic (Cy) Ig, CD1a, CD2, CD3, CD4, CD5, CD8 and CD20. Based on the hierarchical expression of the different B- and T-cell related antigens, each case was assigned to a given differentiation stage. B-lineage ALL were classified in five subgroups (B0-B4) and T-lineage ALL in four subgroups (T0-T3). Cases in which the blasts were lymphoid according to the FAB criteria, but expressed myeloid antigens in association with B- and T-lymphoid markers were defined as hybrid leukemias. As expected, CD10+ cases (B2-B3) were the most frequent within the B-lineage ALL (83.2% of cases). CyIg+ (B3) accounted for about 20% of CD10+ ALL. Twenty eight cases (13.4%) were at a pre-cALL stage (B0-B1) and of these, 8 (3.8% of the total series) were positive only for TdT and HLA-Dr (B0). Intermediate and mature thymic phenotypes (T2-T3) were predominant within the T-ALL (67.2%) groups. Five cases, were positive only for TdT and CD7 (CD5+), and classified as T0. 9.2% of cases fulfilled the definition of hybrid leukemia, largely in view of the co-expression of B-lymphoid and myeloid markers.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

We report a case of CD30 positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma of T-cell phenotype developing in association with long-standing tuberculous pyothorax. Phenotypic analysis showed CD1a-, CD2+, CD3+, CD4+, CD5-, CD8-, CD10-, CD19-, CD20 +/-, CD21-, CD25-, CD56-, T-cell receptor (TCR) alpha/beta antigens-, and HLA-DR+ phenotype. Neither rearrangement of TCR beta and gamma chain genes or of immunoglobulin heavy chain gene was detected in DNA extract from fresh material. The lymphoma cells were also shown to express the latent membrane protein-1 and the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-encoded nuclear antigen-2 by immunohistochemistry and EBV-encoded small RNAs by in situ hybridization.

Examinations of 174 children and 188 adult patients with acute nonlymphoblastic leukemia (ANLL) demonstrated a similar structure of distribution of ANLL FAB-variants in children and adults, although the incidence of M0 and M4 blasts was somewhat higher in infants aged under 2. In patients under 15 and over 60 peroxidase activity in myeloblasts was reliably lower than in the rest patients. HLA-Dr, Thy-1, CD11a, T-CD19, Gly-A, and Eb antigens were equally incident in the cells of children and adults. The expression of CD11b, CD38, and CD10 antigens on the blasts was higher in children than in adults. An abnormal blast karyotype was detected in 81.8% children and 73.7% adults. Translocation (8;21) was observed in patients with the M2 variant, as a rule (82%), and reliably more frequently in children; t(9;22) and t(11q23) occurred in children somewhat more frequently than in adults. A group of children with primary ANLL (n = 3) was distinguished for the first time, in whose cell karyotype a deletion of chromosome 5 was found. The findings indicate that the biological characteristics of blast cells differ in children and adults. Evidently, the level of hemopoiesis involvement in ANLL is earlier in infants under 2 and subjects over 60 than in the rest patients.

We employed a highly sensitive method to assay protein tyrosine kinase activity in extracts of subpopulations of CD34+ bone marrow progenitor cells isolated by fluorescence activated cell sorting in an attempt to better define how growth-factor induction of enzymatic activity relates to progenitor cell maturation. FACS analysis confirmed that, under the conditions employed, essentially all of the CD34+ cells in adult human marrow that lacked the CD38 antigen were devoid of the myeloid maturation marker CD33 as well as the lineage antigens: CD10, 13, 14, 15, 16, 19, 71 and glycophorin A. A variable portion (50-90%) of these CD34+, CD38- progenitor cells expressed HLA-DR. CD34+, CD38- cells that did not express HLA-DR were found to lack detectable levels of either membrane or cytosolic tyrosine kinase activity. HLA-DR+ progenitor cells that lacked CD38 possessed elevated levels of cytosolic tyrosine kinase activity but only low levels of plasma membrane activity. In contrast, CD34+ cells that expressed CD38 (and HLA-DR) possessed high levels of membrane-associated tyrosine kinase activity. A cocktail of haemopoietic growth factors that included IL-3, IL-6 and stem cell factor effectively induced tyrosine kinase activity in CD34+, CD38-, HLA-DR- progenitor cells. Growth factor induction of tyrosine kinase activity in these cells was not inhibited by actinomycin D or cyclohexamide. Most of the tyrosine kinase activity induced by these growth factors was recovered from the cytosolic fraction of disrupted cells. Thus, induction of cytosolic tyrosine kinase activity is an early event in the response of uncommitted haemopoietic cells to haemopoietic growth factors. Subsequent activation of membrane tyrosine kinases may initiate key transduction processes as these cells begin to differentiate.

While it is generally agreed that in the lymphoid differentiation of B lineage cells there is no stage in which cell-surface immunoglobulin (sIg) and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) are expressed simultaneously, a few B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) cases with this phenotype have been reported. Two such cases and the derived cell lines are reported here, in which the expression of recombination activating gene-1 (RAG-1) was also detected. One case was a CD19+ CD22+ HLA-DR+ sIg+ (gamma, kappa) B-ALL. The cell line (Bay9I) also expressed CD10. Karyotypic analysis revealed t(14;18)(q32;q21) and additional aberrations. In the other case, the fresh leukemia cells expressed CD19, CD24 and HLA-DR antigen. The derived cell line (Tree92) also expressed CD22 and sIg (mu, lambda). The karyotype of the Tree92 cells was t(8;14)(q24;q32) with additional aberrations. Tree92 is the first established cell line having both t(8;14)(q24;q32) and TdT. TdT was detected by Northern blotting as well as indirect immunofluorescence analysis. In addition, both Bay9I and Tree92 expressed RAG-1, as detected by Northern blot analysis. Cross-linking of sIg on Tree92 cells with anti-mu antibody led to significant down-regulation of RAG-1 expression. It seems that there is a sIg+ TdT+ RAG-1+ B lineage differentiation stage, and that signaling through sIg can modulate RAG-1 expression.

The authors made immunophenotyping analyses of blood cells of 50 patients with the diagnosis of B-CLL. Malignant cells contained in all instances HLA DR and CD24 molecules. The superficial molecule CD5 was expressed on cells in 85.7% molecule CD6 on 66.7% cases. By statistical analysis the relationship between selected clinical parameters and expression of surface molecules CD5, CD6 and CD10 was sought. A statistically significantly higher number of leucocytes was found in patients with expression of molecule CD6.

To define an optimal regimen for mobilizing blood-derived progenitor cells from healthy donors for allogeneic transplantation, we have studied the early and lineage-committed CD34+ subsets in the leukapheresis products after mobilization with G-CSF (10 micrograms/kg/d), GM-CSF (10 micrograms/kg/d), and the combination of G-CSF and GM-CSF (G/GM, 5 micrograms/kg/d of each). We used three color and five dimensional flow cytometry with a panel of monoclonal antibodies against CD3, CD7, CD10, CD11b, CD15, CD33, CD34, CD38, CD45, CD61, and CD71. As reference, we also analyzed CD34+ subsets in samples from umbilical cord blood (UCB) and from adult bone marrow (BM). The level of total CD34+ cells was 0.04 +/- 0.03% (mean +/- SD) in peripheral blood at baseline, and reached a maximum on day 5 or day 6 of administration of growth factors. The percentages of CD34+ cells in the leukapheresis products were 1.06 +/- 0.37% (mean +/- SD) with G-CSF mobilization, 0.35 +/- 0.24% with GM-CSF, and 0.92 +/- 0.61% with the combination of both. Among the CD34+ subsets, the percentage of cells that were CD34+/CD38- was highest in UCB (7.18 +/- 5.58%) and lowest in G-CSF mobilized peripheral blood (0.80 +/- 0.22%), whereas GM-CSF or G/GM mobilized products gave rise to intermediate levels (4.43 +/- 3.40%, 3.61 +/- 2.42%, respectively). The differences between G/GM and G-CSF, between UCB and G-CSF, or between UCB and BM are significant. The absolute numbers of CD34+/CD38- and CD34+/CD38-/HLA-DR+ subsets are also significantly higher in the G/GM mobilized products than in G-CSF products. The cloning efficiency of G/GM mobilized CD34+ cells was 2 times higher than that of G-CSF mobilized CD34+ cells, albeit the difference was statistically marginal. The profile of CD34+ subsets mobilized by the combination of G/GM approaches that found in UCB. Our data illustrate that different growth factors and regimens can preferentially mobilize different CD34+ subsets from normal donors, and that the combination of G-CSF and GM-CSF might be an optimal regimen.

Expression of the CD4 antigen was observed on human fetal liver, fetal bone marrow (BM), and umbilical cord blood progenitors expressing high levels of CD34. Using clonal and liquid-culture assays, CD4+ CD34++ Lin- (lineage = CD3, CD8, CD10, CD14, CD15, CD16, CD19, CD20, and glycophorin A) fetal liver progenitors were found to have a greater proliferative potential than CD4- CD34++ Lin- progenitors, whereas the CD4- fraction was more enriched for erythroid progenitors. Both the CD4+ and the CD4- progenitor subpopulations also gave rise to multilineage engraftment upon transplantation into human fetal bone fragments, supportive of B-lymphoid and myeloid growth, or into human fetal thymic fragments, supportive of T-cell growth, implanted in scid/scid (SCID) mice. However, in SCID-hu mice transplanted with graded doses of donor cells ranging from 2.0 x 10(2) to 2.0 x 10(4) cells, BM reconstitution by the CD4+ fraction of CD34++ Lin- cells was more frequent than by the CD4- fraction when low numbers of cells were injected. These functional data strongly suggest that stem cells reside among CD4+ CD34++ Lin- fetal liver cells. This hypothesis was further supported by the observations that CD4+ CD34++ Lin- fetal liver cells were enriched for CDw90+ (Thy-1), CD117+ (kit), CD123+, HLA-DR+, CD7-, CD38-, CD45RA-, CD71-, CD115- (fms), and rhodamine 123(dull) cells, a phenotypic profile believed to represent fetal stem cells. Furthermore, all CD4+ CD34++ Lin- fetal liver cells also expressed CD13 and CD33.
