Immunohistochemical localization of human leukocyte common antigen (LCA), a major membrane glycoprotein restricted to leukocytes, was evaluated in paraffin sections of a wide variety of hematopoietic and nonhematopoietic tissues (294 specimens) with monoclonal antibodies (PD7/26 and 2B11). In nonneoplastic tissues, LCA was identified on B and T lymphocytes, with variable immunoreactivities for plasma cells and histiocytes. By light microscopy and ultrastructurally, LCA was localized predominantly to the cell membrane and was also present focally in the cytoplasm. Myeloid cells at all stages of maturation were non-reactive, as were erythroid cells, megakaryocytes, and all non-hematopoietic tissues. Monocytes and mast cells, however, revealed membrane staining for LCA. In nearly all non-Hodgkin's lymphomas of the B- and T-cell types (74 of 80; 93 per cent), the lymphoid infiltrate was immunoreactive for LCA. In specimens from patients with Hodgkin's disease (nodular sclerosis and mixed cellularity type), rare Reed-Sternberg cells stained for LCA. Neoplastic cells were consistently immunoreactive for LCA in specimens from patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia of the B- or T-cell type, prolymphocyte leukemia, and hairy cell leukemia. However, tissues from only three of eight cases of acute lymphoblastic leukemia were LCA-positive, with most non-reactive specimens exhibiting CALLA (J5) positivity. In cases of multiple myeloma, only minor populations of plasmacytic cells exhibited membrane staining for LCA. Nonhematopoietic neoplasms (102 evaluated), including small cell anaplastic carcinomas, amelanotic melanomas, alveolar rhabdomyosarcomas, Ewing's sarcoma, and germ cell tumors, were uniformly non-reactive. Human LCA represents an excellent cell marker for paraffin sections, to distinguish hematopoietic neoplasms, particularly of the lymphoid type, from poorly differentiated tumors of epithelial, mesenchymal, or neural derivation.

Various chemical compounds have been described to induce photosensitization of tumor cells resulting in cell death. We studied the effect of merocyanine-540 (MC-540) on both leukemic and normal bone marrow (BM) cells. Acute promyelocytic leukemia (HL-60) and common acute lymphoblastic leukemia antigen-positive non-T, non-B acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Reh) cell lines were incubated with MC-540 and simultaneously exposed to white light. Normal human BM and mixtures of leukemic cells with BM cells were treated under similar conditions. At constant illumination rates of 50,000 lx, significant (at least 4 to 5 logs) tumor cell destruction was obtained with MC-540 concentrations of 20 micrograms/ml or more for HL-60, and 10 micrograms/ml or more for Reh cells. Incubation of BM under equivalent conditions preserved 18.0% of granulocyte-macrophage colony-forming units and 14.2% of erythroid burst-forming units. Similar results were obtained when tumor cells were mixed with irradiated BM and then treated with MC-540. In summary, cell photosensitization with MC-540 has a selective cytotoxic effect towards leukemic cells and therefore may be useful for purging tumor cells from autologous BM.

Mononuclear cells expressing the common acute lymphoblastic leukemia antigen (CALLA) were purified from normal adult human bone marrow, where they constitute a small fraction of the total population. This was accomplished by a two-step purification from Ficoll-Hypaque-isolated mononuclear cells. Isolated mononuclear cells were first labeled with a mixture of monoclonal antibodies (MoAb) specific for myeloid and erythroid precursor cells, and immune rosettes were then formed with sheep erythrocytes coated with rabbit anti-mouse antibodies (R/M-SRBC). Sedimentation through Ficoll-Hypaque then eliminated the majority of mature myeloid cells. The second step consisted of labeling the remaining rosette-negative cells with CALLA-specific MoAb and purifying CALLA+ cells by fluorescence activated cell sorting. Alternatively, CALLA+ cells were purified in a second R/M-SRBC rosette sedimentation step. The purified CALLA+ cells, which morphologically were medium to large lymphoid cells, were subsequently studied using dual fluorescence techniques to identify surface markers as well as intracytoplasmic staining to detect terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase enzyme (TdT) and intracytoplasmic mu. While the CALLA+ cell suspensions contained very few mature myeloid cells or T lymphocytes, the finding that 5% to 11% of them were cyto-mu+ and 13% to 22% expressed the B1 differentiation antigen clearly indicated that at least some of these cells were B cell precursors. Because 48% to 63% of the cells were TdT+ and practically all of them expressed Ia antigen, it appears that these cells are a mixture of very early lymphoid precursor cells as well as more differentiated pre-B cells. The phenotype of these normal cells is very similar to that of common ALL cells. Differences in the surface marker phenotypes between adult and fetal CALLA+ cells that have previously been purified were also identified.

Fetal hematopoietic cells that express the common acute lymphoblastic leukemia antigen (CALLA) were purified from both fetal liver and fetal bone marrow by immune rosetting with sheep erythrocytes coated with rabbit anti-mouse immunoglobulin and by fluorescence-activated cell sorting. Dual fluorescence techniques disclosed that these cells were heterogenous with respect to the expression of a series of differentiation and activation antigens defined by monoclonal antibodies. Thus, whereas all CALLA+ cells were Ia+ and expressed two activation antigens, J2 and T10, only 30-50% expressed B1 antigen. Furthermore, using methanol-fixed cells, it could be shown that approximately 20% contained intracytoplasmic mu chains (cyto-mu) and that approximately 15% were positive for the terminal transferase enzyme (TdT) marker. The CALLA+ fetal cells thus closely resemble the childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia cell with respect to surface marker phenotype. A population of CALLA- cells devoid of mature erythroid and myeloid surface markers was found to contain higher numbers of TdT+ cells but lower numbers of cyto-mu, B1, and Ia+ cells than the CALLA+ subset. In vitro analysis of normal, purified CALLA+ cells demonstrated that incubation at 37 degrees C with J5 monoclonal antibody specific for CALLA resulted in the specific modulation of surface antigen. Similar results have previously been obtained with CALLA+ tumor cells. Although phenotypic analysis of CALLA+ cells suggests that these cells are relatively immature lymphoid cells, CALLA+ cells do not appear to contain either myeloid precursor cells (CFU-G/M) or the earliest lymphoid stem cells.

A new cell line (BV173) derived from a patient with Philadelphia chromosome (Ph1)-positive acute leukemia was compared with the Ph1-positive K562 and NALM-1 lines, which display the phenotypic characteristics of erythroid and pre-B cells, respectively. BV173 cells retained the Ph1 chromosome and had the morphologic and cytochemical features of undifferentiated blast cells. They lacked the membrane characteristics of mature B- or T-lymphocytes and did not react with monoclonal antibodies to the myelomonocytic cell lineage. Although they reacted with anti-glycophorin A antiserum, they failed to produce hemoglobin after butyric acid treatment. This line was similar to NALM-1 in that it bore common acute lymphoblastic leukemia antigen and la-like antigen, reacted with monoclonal antibodies directed against early stages of hematopoietic cell differentiation, and presented the nuclear enzyme terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase. However, it differed from NALM-1 because it did not express cytoplasmic IgM, a marker of pre-B-cells. The new line can be considered a clonal expansion of leukemia cells blocked at an earlier differentiation stage than that for the other Ph1-positive cell lines.

Single- and multicolor flow cytometry were used to define progenitor subsets in normal human bone marrow and peripheral blood, cord blood, and blood following mobilization of CD34+ progenitor cells by cyclophosphamide or cyclophosphamide/etoposide/G-CSF treatment. CD34 cells were quantitated and subsets of CD34+ cells were defined by coexpression of CD33, CD13, CD10, CD19, CD45RA, and CD71. Myeloid and erythroid progenitors were quantitated by sorting single CD34+ cells into individual wells of 96-well plates containing methylcellulose, IL-3, GM-CSF, G-CSF, IL-6, and erythropoietin. Comparative studies of CD34 cells showed that the percentage of CD34+ mononuclear cells was greatest in blood samples from patients following mobilization treatment with cyclophosphamide/etoposide/G-CSF averaging 2%. By comparison, the remaining sample groups ranged from 1.68 to 0.15% CD34 cells in this order, bone marrow > cord blood > cyclophosphamide mobilized blood > peripheral blood. Comparison of CD34 cells per milliliter of bone marrow or blood showed a range of 22.4 x 10(4) to 0.65 x 10(4)/ml in the following order, bone marrow > chemotherapy/etoposide/G-CSF > cord blood > cyclophosphamide-mobilized blood. Comparative analysis of CD34 subsets from different sources showed significant differences, particularly bone marrow and blood samples. A distinct population of CD34+ CD19+ (Leu 12) CD10+ (CALLA) pre-B lymphocyte cells was defined in bone marrow with lower side and forward light scatter characteristics and was variable between donors (29.8 +/- 16.9%, mean +/- 1 SD; range, 3-54%; n = 8). This population was not found to a significant degree in blood and also expressed CD45RA (Leu 18). Coexpression studies of CD45RA and CD71 (transferrin receptor) expression on CD34+ cells defined a CD45RA- CD71+ population containing 89 +/- 6.3% (n = 4) BFU-E and a CD45RA+ CD71+ population that contained all CFU-GM (n = 4). LeuM7 (CD13) stained a larger percentage to a greater intensity than MY7 (CD13). Coexpression of CD45RA (Leu 18) and CD13 (LeuM7) defined a subset of CD13+ CD45RA+ cells enriched for CFU-GM and CFU-M with a cloning efficiency of 31%. Coexpression of CD33 (MY9) and CD13 (MY7) defined a population that was predominantly CFU-GM with a cloning efficiency of 38%. These studies define CD34+ phenotypes containing pure populations of B lymphocyte, granulocyte-macrophage, or erythroid progenitors and demonstrate the utility of multiparameter flow cytometry to define lineage-committed CD34+ cells.

A strategy to phenotype rare populations of hematopoietic cells expressing the cell-surface marker CD34 was studied. The antigenic phenotype of umbilical core blood (CB) CD34+ cells was investigated using flow cytometry and compared with the mRNA-phenotype determined by cDNA-polymerase chain reaction (cDNA-PCR) analysis. The cDNA-PCR method allowed an mRNA evaluation of small numbers of cells. Monoclonal antibodies and oligonucleotide primers that recognize myeloid, lymphoid, erythroid and platelet/megakaryocytic cell membrane antigens or corresponding mRNA transcripts were used. Evaluation by flow cytometry showed that the vast majority of CD34+ CB cells coexpressed CD38, CD18, HLA-DR, and CD33. Rare subpopulations of CD34+CD38-, CD34+CD18-, CD34+HLA-DR-, and CD34+CD33- were also identified. A large proportion of CD34+ CB cells expressed CD13, CD45R, and to a lesser extent CD71. The CD36, CD51, and CD61 antigens were identified on a small number of CD34+ cells. The three-color flow cytometry analysis showed that CD34+ cells stained with antibodies to CD61 and CD36 or CD51 can be divided into subsets that may represent progenitor cells committed to the erythroid and/or megakaryocytic lineage. A variety of other lineage-specific cell-surface antigens including pre-T-cell marker CD7 and markers of early B cells, ie, CD10 and CD19, were not coexpressed with CD34+. Using the cDNA-PCR it was seen that the mRNA phenotype of a small number of sorted CD34+ cells (purity > 98%) was negative for the markers CD2, CD14, CD16, CD20, CD21, CD22, CD41b, and glycophorin A that are expressed on differentiated cells but positive for CD34, CD7, CD19, CD36, and CD61. The results suggest that circulating CD34+CD7+ and CD34+CD19+ CB cells cannot be distinguished by flow cytometry but can be detected by cDNA-PCR. This indicates that CB either contains very low numbers of these progenitors or that the antigen density of CD7 and CD19 on CD34+ cells is below the detection limit of the flow cytometer. In contrast to flow cytometry, cDNA-PCR allows the phenotypic analysis of cells even if their number is small. Thus, the cDNA-PCR method can be useful in linking phenotype analyses, ie, markers of differentiation, to studies on gene expression within rare populations of hematopoietic stem cells.

Circulating CD34+ progenitors were separated from normal human peripheral blood on the basis of size and density by counterflow centrifugal elutriation (CCE). The CD34+ cells, 0.15% of peripheral blood mononuclear cells, were heterogeneous with respect to their elutriation characteristics, mainly size and density. The least mature CD34+ cells, characterized by lack of CD38 antigen, were predominantly found in the small lymphoid cell fraction. In fractions containing larger and denser cells (large lymphocytes, monocytes, and granulocytes), CD38 was increasingly expressed on the CD34+ cells, as were lineage commitment markers CD10 (B lymphoid), CD33 (myeloid), CD13 (myelomonocytic) and CD71 (erythroid) antigens. The smaller and less dense CD34+ cells expressed CD34 antigen brightly while the larger and denser CD34+ cells expressed it dimly. The smaller and less dense CD34+ high cells failed to establish colony growth in short-term culture while the larger and denser CD34+low cells gave rise to high counts of colony forming units-granulocyte macrophage (CFU-GM). Physical separation on the basis of size and density by CCE differentiates between two main classes of steady-state CD34+ cells from normal human peripheral blood. The smaller and less dense CD34+high cells correspond to the earliest progenitors that express differentiation markers poorly but CD34 antigen brightly, do not give rise to short-term colony growth in vitro, and thus represent indirect evidence for pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells (PHSC). The larger and denser CD34+low cells are the more mature progenitor cells, already committed to myeloid, lymphoid or erythroid differentiation but only dimly expressing CD34 antigen, and these cells were responsible for short-term colony growth in vitro.

The early stages of lymphoid cell formation were studied by testing the differentiative potential of phenotypically defined subsets of CD34+ bone marrow cells. A subpopulation of CD34+ Lin- CD45RA+ cells expressing CD10 was isolated by flow cytometry. Such cells are CD38+, HLA-DR+, do not express significant levels of Thy-1 and c-kit, lack erythroid, myeloid, megakaryocytic potential, and give rise only to lymphoid T, B, natural killer (NK), and dendritic cells (DC) in kinetics and titration experiments. Limiting dilution analysis demonstrates the existence of multipotential B/NK/DC progenitor clones in the CD34hi Lin-CD10+ adult bone marrow cell population. Thus, nonprimitive progenitors for lymphoid cells and for DCs can be distinct from those of myeloid, megakaryocytic, and erythroid cells, implying that the DC lineage is developmentally more closely related to the lymphoid lineage than to the myeloid lineage. This study provides new insights into the organization and development of the human lympho-hematopoietic system.

Phycoerythrin (PE)-labeled murine monoclonal antibodies (MAB) to CD2, CD10, CD19, CD20, and CD33 were used as lineage markers, as were PE-labeled anti-DR MAB and fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-conjugated MAB to CD34. One hundred CD34+Lin+DR+ or CD34+Lin-DR- cells were individually sorted and incubated without adherent cell layer in alpha-medium with or without cytokines such as 100 U/mL recombinant human interleukin-3 (rhIL-3), 100 U/mL rhIL-6, and/or 500 ng/mL mast cell growth factor (MGF). The incubated cells were harvested and cultured in medium containing methylcellulose every 2 weeks. The numbers of colonies from colony-forming units-granulocyte/macrophage (CFU-GM), burst-forming units-erythroid (BFU-E), and mixed colony-forming units (CFU-Mix) were scored on day 14. In the incubation, CD34+Lin-DR- cells from bone marrow and cord blood produced more CFU-GM and BFU-E, and for longer periods, than did CD34+Lin+DR+ cells. In addition, CD34+Lin-DR- from cord blood supplied more CFU-GM and BFU-E than did CD34+Lin-DR- from bone marrow. Although these data demonstrate that MGF, IL-3, and IL-6 synergistically stimulate the production of CFU-GM and BFU-E, this study indicates that CD34+Lin-DR- cells contain more primitive hematopoietic progenitors and that CD34+Lin-DR- cells are unable to maintain their self-renewal capacity in the presence of IL-3, IL-6, and MGF without adherent cell layer.
