A 31 year-old male who was treated with radiation under the diagnosis of malignant lymphoma was admitted to our hospital because of systemic erythema and tumor of bilateral upper arms in October, 1987. Leucocyte count of peripheral blood showed 4,400/microliters with 36% leukemic cells and bone marrow was hypercellular with 85.6% leukemic cells. Leukemic cells were negative for
peroxidase
reaction and lineage specific monoclonal antibodies such as CD3, CD4, CD8,
CD10
, CD19 and CD20. T cell receptor (TCR) delta gene was rearranged but TCR beta, TCR gamma and immunoglobulin (Ig) genes were in germline configuration. He was treated with combination regimen of doxorubicin, vindesine, prednisolone and L-asparaginase, and complete remission was obtained. These observations suggest that TCR delta gene rearrangement is useful for determination of clonality in cases without rearrangements of the other TCR and Ig genes.

We have studied the immunophenotypic and genotypic features in 35 infants aged less than 1 year with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or acute undifferentiated leukemia (AUL). A
CD10
(common ALL antigen)-negative, CD19-positive pre-pre-B ALL phenotype was observed in 24 infants. Seventeen of them had blast cells coexpressing myeloid-associated markers such as CD15A (VIM-D5, MZ17) and/or VIM-2, but neither
myeloperoxidase
nor platelet
peroxidase
was detected in five of these cases analyzed by electron microscopy. Five patients showed a typical common ALL, five a pre-B ALL phenotype, and one infant was unclassifiable by surface-marker and morphologic analysis. Cytogenetic data, available in 21 of these patients, revealed chromosomal abnormalities involving 11q23 in 10 infants with a
CD10
-negative pre-pre-B ALL. Immunoglobulin (Ig) and T cell receptor (TCR) gamma, beta and delta gene analysis of 31 infants showed Ig heavy-chain gene rearrangement in all but one patient with evidence for clonal evolution in six and kappa-light-chain rearrangement in three infants. TCR beta-chain and TCR gamma-chain rearrangement occurred in six and five patients respectively, while TCR delta-chain rearrangement was identified in 15 patients. Our data indicate that ALL in infancy may present with heterogeneous immunophenotypic and genotypic features. The high frequency of coexpression of B-lineage and myeloid surface markers as well as of chromosomal rearrangement involving 11q23 suggests that the clonogenic cell of infant ALL may relate to a multipotent progenitor cell in most cases.

The present study was performed to determine whether neurogenic inflammation in the rat trachea can be exaggerated by inhibiting
neutral endopeptidase
, an enzyme that degrades tachykinins that are believed to mediate neurogenic inflammation. Neurogenic inflammation was produced by antidromic electrical stimulation of one vagus nerve (2.5 Hz, 1 ms, 5 V for 5 min) in the presence of atropine or by an intravenous injection of capsaicin (100 micrograms/kg). Neutrophils that adhered to the endothelium of venules were visualized and counted in tracheal whole mounts that were stained by a histochemical reaction for
myeloperoxidase
. Neural inflammation increased the number of adherent neutrophils. Pretreatment with the
neutral endopeptidase
inhibitor phosphoramidon (1.0 or 2.5 mg/kg iv) increased neutrophil adhesion induced by neural inflammation. As assessed by the amount of extravasation of Monastral blue pigment, neural inflammation also increased vascular permeability, and this change was potentiated by phosphoramidon. These results are consistent with the concept that neuropeptides released from sensory nerves in the tracheal mucosa cause neutrophils to adhere to venules and increase vascular permeability and that these effects are modulated by
neutral endopeptidase
.

Leukemic blasts from 40 consecutively admitted adults with untreated acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) were examined for myeloid surface antigen expression. Of these, 14 (35%) were reactive with one or more myeloid monoclonal antibodies. Each example of myeloid surface antigen-positive (My+ ALL) met the standard morphologic and cytochemical criteria for ALL. In addition, none of the 13 samples studied for ultrastructural evidence of
myeloperoxidase
met the criteria for acute myelocytic leukemia (AML). All patient samples reacted with lymphoid monoclonal antibodies: CD10+ (8 patients), CD19+
CD10
- (2 patients), T cell+ (2 patients), and T cell+ CD10+ (2 patients). Coexpression of myeloid and lymphoid determinants was established by two-color immunofluorescence studies using flow cytometry in five of five samples analyzed. Cytogenetic abnormalities that have been associated with myeloid and mixed leukemias were common, including t(9;22), 7q-, abnormalities of 11q with or without a translocation, 20q-, and -5. Blasts from seven patients were studied at the molecular level. Immunoglobulin heavy chain gene rearrangements were detected in five of five samples with B cell+ T cell- phenotypes. One sample that was T cell+ CD10+ was germline for the immunoglobulin heavy chain and the T cell receptor gamma- and beta-chain genes. The other patient with T cell+ CD10+ blasts relapsed with AML following allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. The leukemia cells at the time of diagnosis and the cells at relapse demonstrated similar cytogenetics and the same immunoglobulin gene rearrangement, suggesting a clonal relationship. As a group, the My+ ALL patients had a significantly decreased complete remission rate when compared to My- ALL patients. Further studies at the molecular level will be required to determine the significance of karyotype abnormalities in My+ ALL.

Forty-three cases of undifferentiated leukemias by light microscopy examination were diagnosed as acute myeloblastic leukemias by ultrastructural revelation of
peroxidase
and were subsequently studied by immunological markers. In 41 of these cases, blasts were labeled by at least one of the antimyeloid MoAbs (My 7, My 9, and 80H5). An antimyeloperoxidase polyclonal antibody was used in 23 cases and was clearly positive in 11 of them, while cytochemistry by light microscopy was negative. These myeloblasts were frequently mixed with a minority of blasts from other lineages especially promegakaryoblasts. It is noteworthy that in 6 cases myeloid and lymphoid markers (E rosette receptor,
common acute lymphoblastic leukemia antigen
(cALLA), CD 9, CD 19 antigens (anti-B4 MoAb] were detected on a fraction of blast cells, suggesting a bilineage leukemia. However, in double labeling experiments, blasts with
myeloperoxidase
coexpressed lymphoid and myeloid markers including cALLA and CD 19 antigen. In one case, blasts had a typical non-B, non-T acute lymphoblastic leukemia phenotype (HLA-DR, CD 9, CD 19, cALLA positive) without staining by any of the antimyeloid MoAbs. However, 70% of the blasts were labeled by the antimyeloperoxidase antibody and expressed
peroxidase
-positive granules at ultrastructural level. In conclusion, most of the AML undiagnosed by optical cytochemistry are identified by antimyeloid antibodies. Some of these cases are also stained by some antilymphoid MoAbs. Use of antibodies against
myeloperoxidase
may improve the diagnosis of difficult cases of acute myeloblastic leukemia.

Blast cells from ten patients (seven adults, three children) with acute lymphoblastic leukemias (ALL) contained immunoreactive cytoplasmic alpha-1-anti-trypsin (alpha-1-AT) and alpha-1-antichymotrypsin (alpha-1-ACT). Cytochemically positive reactions for block-like periodic acid-Schiff and a localized acid phosphatase suggested that the cells were of lymphoid origin rather than myeloid origin: negative for sudan black-B, nonspecific esterase, chloroacetate esterase, and
myeloperoxidase
. By surface phenotype, the leukemia showed positive reactions for both lymphoid (
common acute lymphoblastic leukemia antigen
, Ia, OKT-10) and myeloid (OKM-1, Leu M-1) antigens. Three of three patients tested portrayed the Philadelphia chromosome. Nine patients were Mexican-American and one was Japanese: all were of Asian ethnic derivation. Both myeloid and lymphoid treatment regimens were employed, with survival less than expected. Early granulocytic differentiation detectable by cytoplasmic alpha-1-AT and alpha-1-ACT in lymphoid blasts is discussed.

A case of acute leukaemia with Ph1-chromosome and monosomy 7 is reported, in which the peripheral blood contained three types of blast cell as distinguished by light and electron microscopy and immunological phenotyping. The first blast-cell type originated from the granulocytic lineage; the cells contained
peroxidase
-positive granules, and had an HLA-DR+Tdt-
CALLA
-phenotype. The second blast-cell type was more difficult to define, but had many characteristics of the monocytic series. The phenotype of these blast cells was HLA-DR+Tdt-
CALLA
-BA-2+ or HLA-DR+/-TA-1+63D3+. Finally, the third type of blast cell was clearly of lymphocytic origin. These cells were
peroxidase
-negative, and were CALLA+ as studied by electron microscopy using immunogold labelling and fluorescence microscopy. Their phenotype was HLA-DR+Tdt+CALLA+. Cell sorting and double fluorescence assays showed that these three populations were separate; no cells of mixed myeloid/lymphoid phenotype were found. This case suggests the neoplastic transformation of an immature progenitor cell and subsequent differentiation of the neoplastic cells in various directions.

We developed a Philadelphia chromosome (Ph) positive cell line, designated MR-87, from a 4-year-old boy with Ph+-acute leukemia. MR-87 cells grew in single cell suspensions with a doubling time of 120 to 144 hours. Both MR-87 and original leukemia cells were positive for
myeloperoxidase
(
MPO
) and myeloid antigen CD13. These cells exhibited the early B-cell phenotype, ie, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase+, Ia+, CD19+, and CD10+. Rearrangement of the immunoglobulin heavy chain was confirmed in both. Approximately 80% of MR-87 cells coexpressed CD13 and lymphoid antigens
CD10
or CD19, as confirmed by a two-color analysis. Simultaneous expression of
MPO
and CD19 on a single MR-87 cell was demonstrated at ultrastructural level. Thus, MR-87 is a Ph+ leukemia cell line exhibiting a hybrid phenotype. The breakpoint cluster region (bcr) was not rearranged in the MR-87 cells and subsequent analysis using antisera revealed that these cells expressed a novel protein, P190c-abl, which was immunoprecipitated with anti-abl and anti-phosphotyrosine antibodies. The MR-87 line will be most useful for investigating the biology and pathogenesis of Ph+ bcr- acute leukemia.

A case of acute leukaemia with t(4;11) chromosomal abnormality in a 28-year-old woman is reported. At diagnosis, two blast cell populations were seen: 60% of the cells were small cells with lymphoid morphology, 40% were large cells with monocytic morphology. Cytochemical examination was consistent with acute myeloid leukaemia (
peroxidase
-positive in 10% of the cells), but surface markers were those of common acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (
CALLA
, B4, TdT-positive, but My7-, My9- and OKM1-negative). Five days after diagnosis, although the only treatment had been platelet transfusions, there was a change in morphological and immunological phenotype: 40% of the cells were lymphoid and 60% monocytic. Lymphoid markers were expressed in only 20-40% of cells, and myeloid markers appeared on up to 60% of cells. We conclude that t(4;11) leukaemia could originate in an undifferentiated progenitor cell, which can undergo further differentiation into lymphoblasts or monoblasts, and that we were able to observe this in vivo differentiation in our patient.

During a 4-yr period, 292 patients with acute leukaemia were studied using morphology, cytochemistry and immunologic reagents to determine the cell lineage of the leukaemia. One hundred and sixty-three cases were shown to be acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL), 127 acute myeloblastic leukaemia (AML) and two cases (0.6%) were classified as hybrid acute leukaemias. One was biphenotypic in which the blast cells displayed both T-lymphoid (60% E-rosettes) and megakaryocytic markers (47% CDw41/glycoprotein IIb/IIIa antigen, 50%
myeloperoxidase
). The second was a bilineal acute leukaemia in which some blast cells displayed B-lymphoid (47%
CD10
/
CALLA
, 40% acid phosphatase) features and other megakaryocytic (33% coagulation factor VIII:WVf antigen)/myeloid (30% Sudan Black) features. This study suggests that hybrid acute leukaemia are rare.
