Recently, great interest has been shown in the histological identification of small cell tumours of childhood--nephroblastoma (Wilms' tumour), neuroblastoma, rhabdomyosarcoma and Ewing's sarcoma--using immunohistochemical methods. However, several antigens operationally specific for leucocyte typing in blood and marrow are also expressed on cells of epithelial and neural origin. We undertook phenotypic characterization of 17 non-haemopoietic small cell tumours of childhood using a panel of 30 monoclonal antibodies to leucocyte, epithelial and cytoskeletal antigens using a sensitive alkaline phosphatase-anti-alkaline phosphatase technique on cryostat sections of fresh tumour. Our results demonstrated frequent expression of the leucocyte-associated antigens CD10 (CALLA), CD9 (p24) and CDw32 (FcRII) in these small cell tumours and occasional expression of MHC class II (HLA-DR) and HNK-1 antigens. However, the leucocyte-associated antigens CD45 (leucocyte common), CD22 (pan B-cell), CD11b (C3bi receptor), CD15 (Lewisx) or CDw42 (platelet gp Ib) were not detected on any tumour. Aberrant expression of desmin, neurofilament and UJ13A antigen was found in nephroblastoma and of epithelial-associated markers (CIBr17 and 43-9F) in neuroblastoma. Our results also demonstrated broad reactivity in frozen section with two monoclonal antibodies specific for melanoma (NKI/C-3) or epithelial cells (OM-1) in paraffin sections. Hence, it is necessary to include monoclonal antibodies to CD45 and pan-epithelial antigens, e.g. LP34 (cytokeratin) or HEA125 for the precise immunohistochemical identification of small round cell malignancies of childhood.

We report the case of a spontaneously regressing lymphocytic lesion on the neck of a 76-year-old man. Routine histopathological examination revealed a heterogeneous infiltrate composed of both lymphoid follicles and preferentially perifollicular and interfollicular sheets of large atypical cells. Immunohistologically, large atypical cells were positive for Ki-1/Ber-H2 (CD30), anti-Il-2 (CD25), Ber T9, anti-HLA-DR, Leu-5b (CD2), T3 (CD3), Leu-3 (CD4), Leu-1 (CD5) and, occasionally, Leu-M1 (CD15); that is, they showed an arrangement and immunophenotype similar to those of perifollicular Ki-1 positive cells in reactive lymphoid tissue. In contrast, antibodies To15 (CD22), anti-immunoglobulins, and anti-CALLA (CD10) stained polyclonal B-cells restricted to lymphoid follicles and small clusters representing remnants of follicles. We suggest that this lesion be termed "follicular lymphoid hyperplasia of the skin with high content of activated T-helper cells."

A case of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) treated with chlorambucil, followed by the development of an acute monoblastic leukemia, is described. Cytofluorometric quantitative immunophenotype was determined during the blastic phase. Whereas small lymphocytes displayed a CD19+; CD24+; CD37+; CD5+ phenotype, the blastic population exhibited, besides CD13, CD14 and CD15 positivity, which is usually noted in such a monoblastic leukemia, definite CD9, CD10, CD22, CD24, CD37, CD5 and CD4 staining. Such results argue against a complete independence between the two clones, although their similarity could not be demonstrated.

The AMeX method (cold Acetone fixation with subsequent Methyl benzoate and Xylene treatment and routine paraffin embedding) has been recently revived for simultaneous preservation of morphology of cells and their antigens. We propose a modification of this method (ModAMeX), with the use of proteolytic enzyme inhibitors and low temperature paraffin wax embedding, which results in better preservation of a large number of leucocyte differentiation antigens and diagnostic morphologic detail. T-cell antigens (CD1, CD2, CD3, CD7 & CD8), B-cell antigens (CD22), macrophage associated antigens (CD11c, CD14 and others), activation antigens (CD25 and others), as well as some other antigens of diagnostic interest (CD10) were found to be preserved with a staining intensity equal to that of sections of fresh frozen tissue. Although the staining intensity of other T-cell antigens (CD4 & CD5), B-cell antigens (CD19, CD21 & CD37), activation antigens (Ki-1) and nuclear proliferation antigen (Ki-67) was slightly weaker as compared with frozen sections, this could be corrected by increasing the monoclonal antibody concentration. Staining for heavy and light chains of immunoglobulins was minor, sometimes compromised due to persistence of background staining as a result of extracellular immunoglobulins. The ModAMeX method has the advantages of simplicity, low cost and the possibility of exchange of tissue material between laboratories.

Forty-six bone marrow biopsies from twelve hairy cell leukemia (HCL) patients, treated with either interferon(IFN)-alpha-2 (n = 8) or 2'deoxycoformycin(DCF) (n = 4), were examined using cryostat sections and an immunoperoxidase technique. Using this sensitive method we were able to demonstrate residual hairy cell (HC) infiltration in five cases, in which evaluation with conventional staining techniques on plastic embedded biopsies revealed complete remission. The amount of HCs in these five samples ranged from 1 to 7% (mean: 3%) of bone marrow cells. Consecutive biopsies in individual HCL patients revealed no changes of the immunological phenotype (CD19, CD22, CD25, CD10, CD11c, FMC7, HLA-DR, surface immunoglobulins) during IFN and DCF treatment. Within the infiltrated bone marrow a considerable number of "reactive" T lymphocytes was identified with prevalence of the T-helper (CD4+) subtype in untreated cases, whereas T-suppressor/cytotoxic (CD8+) cells were within the normal range. IFN treatment resulted in a reduction of CD4+ T lymphocytes (p less than 0.02). Minor alterations of CD8+ T lymphocytes and NK cells (HNK-1 + lymphoid cells) were found in bone marrow during IFN treatment. In DCF-treated patients bone marrow T lymphocytes were markedly reduced below the values of normal bone marrow. This DCF-induced T-cell depression might be related to the clinical observation of persistent cellular immune dysfunctions in HCL patients despite a DCF-induced remission.

The effect of in vitro exposure to ferric citrate (Fe-citrate) on the expression of human lymphocyte surface markers was studied. The following markers were examined: E-rosette formation, CD2, CD3, CD4, CD8, CD1, CD22, CD10 and HLA-DR. Pretreatment of peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) with Fe-citrate at concentrations ranging from 10(-2) M to 10(-5) M resulted in the exclusive inhibition of E-rosette formation and CD2 expression. None of the other surface antigens examined appeared to be sensitive to the Fe-citrate treatment. Competition experiments further indicated that iron interacts specifically with CD2 on T lymphocytes.

Precursors of plasma cells were studied in the bone marrow of 28 patients with multiple myeloma, plasma cell leukemia, and benign monoclonal gammopathy. Pre-B and B cell populations were analyzed with anti-B monoclonal antibodies corresponding to the clusters standardized at the Leucocyte Typing Workshops in Paris and Boston (CD9, CD10, CD19-22, CD24). In advanced forms of plasma cell malignancies, such as cases of multiple myeloma in stages II and III and of plasma cell leukemia, some cells of lymphoid morphology expressed common acute lymphoblastic leukemia antigen (CALLA, CD10) and HLA-DR, but contained no detectable terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase enzyme. These CALLA+ cells were absent in benign monoclonal gammopathies. In multiple myeloma, the CALLA+ cells were negative for surface and cytoplasmic immunoglobulins (Ig), and, unlike CALLA+, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT+) pre-B cells in the normal bone marrow also failed to react with antibodies to B cell-associated antigens such as CD9, CD19, CD22, and CD24. The CALLA+, Ig- cells could be regarded as preplasmacytic since, after having been separated and stimulated with the phorbol ester 12-0-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13 acetate in vitro, they transformed into plasma cells and synthesized the same heavy and light chains as myeloma cells.

A panel of B lymphoid-reactive monoclonal antibodies was used to analyze the phenotypic changes that accompany B lymphocyte development in normal human bone marrow. The B lymphoid cells were identified using light scattering and the expression of CD19 on a flow cytometer. Quantitative three-color immunofluorescence was then used to correlate other cell surface antigens on these cells identified as B lymphoid in normal marrow. CD10 and CD20 identified almost exclusive populations and provided a convenient means of discriminating between the less and more mature B lineage cells. The CD10+ cells could be further subdivided using CD34. The population of CD19+, CD10+, CD34+ cells comprised only 0.6% of marrow cells, but these contained the majority of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT+) cells. In the assessment of class II antigens, HLA-DR was expressed on all B lineage cells whereas HLA-DP preceded HLA-DQ in appearance during the developmental process. Among the later antigens expressed on B lineage cells, cell surface IgM, CD20, and HLA-DQ were expressed at essentially the same time. Cell surface CD10 was lost at the time when CD21 and CD22 were acquired on the cell surface. These data illustrate that multiparameter flow cytometry can be used to define a continuous progression of stages of B lymphocyte development based on cell surface antigen expression even though these cells represent a minor fraction of normal marrow cells.

A human myeloma cell line designated LOPRA-1 has been established from ascites fluid containing malignant plasma cells of a patient with IgA2/kappa multiple myeloma. The cultured cells which are Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) negative have retained the morphological, cytochemical, ultrastructural and immunophenotypical features of well-differentiated plasma cells. They express the plasma cell antigen PCA-1, the antigens CD28 (Kolt-2) and CD38 (OKT10), the transferrin-receptor (OKT9), and some epitopes of the CD24 antigen (HB8, VIB E3), but are negative for surface immunoglobulins. HLA class II antigens (HLA-DP, -DQ, -DR) and other B-cell markers such as CD10 (CALLA), CD19 (B4), CD20 (B1), CD21 (B2), CD22 (HD39), CD23 (MHM6), CD37 (BL14) and CD39 (G28-8) as analysed by both flow cytometry and immunocytochemistry (PAP/APAAP). With respect to immunoglobulin synthesis, two stable clones were selected by single cell cloning: clone LOPRA-1/5 synthesizes large amounts of alpha 2 heavy and kappa light chains, but secretes only small amounts of these molecules, whereas clone LOPRA-1/4 is clearly devoid of intracellular immunoglobulin heavy and light chains and thus appears to be a chain loss variant. Cytogenetic analysis revealed a pseudotriploid phenotype with several structurally abnormal marker chromosomes: 3n + -, 70, XX, -X, -1, -4, -6, -8, -8, -13, -16, +7, +18, +21, +i(1q), +i(1q), +6q-, +3mar.

Identification of the antigens expressed on marrow B lineage cells can be used to develop a model for the sequential acquisition of cell surface antigens during B lymphocyte development. The data suggest that the surface antigen expression is highly controlled during the development of B cells with the coordinated acquisition of multiple cell surface antigens during the maturational process. The developmental scheme in figure 6 is inferred from the expression of cell surface antigens on single samples. Confirmation of the progression from one stage to the next requires the isolation of a particular stage with subsequent induction to the next stage in-vitro. These data suggest that the development of B lymphoid cells may be discrete rather than continuous. The most immature cells identifiable in the bone marrow express CD34+ as well as HLA-DR. The earliest recognizable B lineage cells (CD19+, bright CD10+) also express CD34+. These cells are smaller by forward light scattering when compared to the cells which express only CD34+ (precursor of myeloid cells). Cells within stage I also express TdT in the nucleus and are proliferating. As the cells progress from stage I to stage II, the B lineage cells lose cell surface CD34 and nuclear TdT. At this time the density of HLA-DR and CD45 increases while the amount of CD10 decreases. These changes occur with no detectable change in cell size as assessed by forward light scattering. HLA-DP is first detected on the cells at this time. The progression of cells from stage II to stage III is marked by the acquisition of CD20, HLA-DQ, and sIgM. The amount of CD45 increases further in the transition between stage II and stage III. The acquisition CD21 and CD22 as well as the loss of CD10 distinguishes stage IV from stage III. Once the cellular composition of normal marrow has been defined, perturbations from homeostasis can be identified. Since marrow is the tissue most sensitive to injury by most antineoplastic chemotherapy and radiotherapy regimens, a means of quantifying the changes from the normal state can provide an assessment of the cytotoxic injury produced in individual patients. By monitoring the return to normal, it may be possible to more precisely individualize therapy for each patient. With a clear understanding of normal hematopoiesis, it should also be possible to identify maturational blocks which occur in hypoplastic marrow states. This may provide a means of identifying the regulatory points for each lineage and provide strategies for overcoming the inhibition of development.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)
