We performed an immunohistochemical analysis of frozen sections from testicular biopsies from 23 children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Eleven cases were infiltrated by leukemia. Tumor cells were immunostained by a panel of antibodies that identified CD10, CD43, CD19, CD3, CD7, and MHC class I and II. The immunoreactivity of normal testicular components was also studied. Normal testis showed no CD10 reactivity. Wide variation in the number of stromal macrophages identified by CD11c was found. Transferrin receptor (CD71) was expressed by some stromal macrophages, by seminiferous tubules, and by Leydig cells. B lymphocytes were absent from the testicular stroma but small numbers of T lymphocytes were consistently present. MHC class I and II were expressed by most stromal cells but not by seminiferous tubules.

Between 1983-1988 bone marrow samples obtained from 195 peroxidase-negative leukemia patients were analyzed for their surface antigens. Thirteen of these patients (6.7%) had myelomonocytic-positive and lymphoid-negative antigens. These leukemic cells reacted with CD13 in eight patients, CD33 in seven, CD11 in six and CDw41 in two. In none of these patients did the leukemic cells react with CD1, CD2, CD3, CD4, CD5, CD8, CD10, CD19 or CD20. Leukemic cells from two patients were reactive with CD7. These leukemic cells demonstrated L2 morphology in 11 patients and L1 morphology in one patient. The leukemic cells from the final patient were diagnosed as those of leukemic transformation of myelodysplastic syndrome. Chromosomal abnormality was observed in approximately half of the patients examined (6/10). Cytochemical analysis revealed that the leukemic cells were negative for periodic acid Schiff stain but positive for acid phosphatase. The prognosis of these patients was markedly poor as compared to acute lymphocytic leukemia or typical peroxidase-positive nonlymphocytic leukemia. Complete remission was induced in only 30% of patients and duration of survival was short (4.7 months). This suggests that myelomonocytic antigen-positive peroxidase-negative acute leukemia is a distinct type of leukemia and may require more aggressive therapy to improve survival.

Immunomagnetic beads are well suited for positive selection of CD34+ cells. However, both unspecific binding of beads to cells as well as the effectiveness of detachment of beads from cells may represent significant problems. We used an anti-Fab antiserum (DETACHaBEAD, Dynal) for rapid and effective detachment of immunomagnetic beads from the positively selected cells. By this detachment technique, the cells remained phenotypically unaltered. To reduce unspecific binding, we have coated various anti-CD34 monoclonal antibodies directly to paramagnetic beads M450 (Dynal). Use of beads coated with BI-3C5 was found to be optimal with regard to yield and purity of the isolated cells. The yield was on average 1.5% (range 0.5-2.5%) of bone marrow mononuclear cells and the purity was usually greater than 95% CD34+ cells of the isolated cells. Subpopulations of the cells expressed myeloid markers (CD13, CD33, and to a lesser extent CD15 and CD14) or early B-lineage markers (CD19 and CD10). Most of the cells expressed CD38, and a majority of the cells also expressed CD41. In general, most of the CD34+ cells with low forward scatter expressed B-lineage markers, as was also the case for the few contaminating CD34- cells which were found to be predominantly CD37+ mature B cells. Reactivity with antibodies against T-lineage markers (CD2, CD3, CD4, CD7, and CD8) was generally detected only on 1-2% of the cells or less. Isolated cells responded to interleukin 3, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, mast cell growth factor, and/or granulocyte colony-stimulating factor alone or in combinations in short-term liquid cultures. The cells were also markedly enriched for granulocyte-macrophage colony-forming units as well as for early progenitor cells capable of forming blast colonies on preformed stromal feeder layers. Moreover, the CD34- population was depleted of 70-80% of CFU-GM and cells capable of blast colony formation. Thus, we conclude that the isolated cells are phenotypically unaltered after isolation, and show a normal response in various in vitro assays.

Twenty patients were treated with chemotherapy to mobilize progenitors into the blood. Peripheral blood stem cells were quantitated in peripheral blood or leukapheresis products using colony assays and flow cytometric measurement of CD34+ cells. In four patients where complete sets of serial samples were obtained, the appearance of CD34+ cells preceded the increase in CFU-GM by 24-48 h. Peak levels of CD34+ cells ranged from 0.6-5% and coincided with the peak increase in CFU-GM. Mobilized CD34+ cells contained subsets expressing CD33, CD13, CD45RA, CD38, HLA-DR, CD61 and CD41. Subsets of CD34+ cells expressing CD33, CD13, or CD45RA represent committed myeloid progenitors. In contrast to bone marrow CD34+ cells, few mobilized CD34+ cells expressed CD71, CD7, CD19 or CD10. Prompt engraftment of granulocytes greater than 500 x 10(6)/l at a median of 13 days and platelets greater than 50 x 10(9)/l at a median of 15 days was observed in patients reconstituted with mobilized cells. These data indicate that CD34+ cells mobilized during recovery from chemotherapy are predominantly myeloid in phenotype and contain few actively proliferating cells or cells with lymphoid phenotypes.

HIV-related non-hodgkin lymphomas currently occur in 5 to 8% of AIDS patients. AIDS-related lymphomas are high-grade tumors with the morphologic characteristics of either small noncleaved cell lymphomas of the Burkitt type or large cell centroblastic and immunoblastic lymphomas. Mixed features may be found, making classification difficult. Useful methods for characterizing AIDS-related non-hodgkin's lymphomas include immunophenotypic studies using B-cell differentiation and activation antigens (HLA-DR, CD10, CD19, CD20, CD21, CD22, CD23, CD38), evaluation of expression of surface immunoglobulins (IgS), activation and proliferation (CD25, CD30, CD71, Ki67), and identification of T-cell markers (CD1, CD2, CD3, CD4, CD5, CD7, CD8). Cases studied were of the B-cell type. Comparison with morphologic features revealed that Burkitt's lymphomas were monoclonal and expressed B-cell markers (CD10, CD19, CD20, CD22, CD38) and surface immunoglobulins, especially IgM kappa. This immunophenotype is similar to that of large cell or centroblastic non-hodgkin's lymphomas, suggesting that Burkitt lymphomas originate from centrofollicular cells. Immunoblastic non-hodgkin's lymphomas were monotypic or polytypic and expressed CD10 and CD38 antigens but not the other B-cell antigens Furthermore, a very large number of cells stained positively with the Ki67 antibody demonstrating that most lymphoma cells were undergoing cycling.

Multiphenotypic acute leukemias (MAL), defined by the coexpression on most blast cells of antigens classically attributed to different lineages, remain a rare event. We isolated a series of 26 such cases from a cohort of 1565 leukemic patients whose cells were immunophenotyped at diagnosis. Markers of B and myeloid lineage (BM) were associated in 16 cases (62%), 3 coexpressed B and T markers (BT), and T-cell and myeloid antigens (TM) were found in 7 (27%). A tumoral syndrome was observed in 69% of the patients, without significant differences between the immunophenotypic subgroups. Median event free survivals in the three immunophenotypic subgroups as defined were respectively 24 months for BM-MAL, 4 months for TM-MAL and 7 months for BT-MAL respectively. The poorer prognosis of TM-MAL was significantly different from that of BM-MAL (p < 0.001). This concurred with the poorer prognosis associated with CD7 expression or absence or CD10, both characteristic features of TM-MAL.

Clinically useful monoclonal antibodies, applied for immunophenotyping of leukemias, are reviewed. With a combination of 15 antibodies, including CD2, CD3, CD4, CD5, CD7, and CD8 for T cell marker analysis, CD10, CD19, CD20, surface immunoglobulins, and cytoplasmic mu chain for B cell marker analysis, CD13 and CD33 for myeloid marker analysis, and HLA-DR and CD25 for other marker analysis, acute lymphoblastic leukemias of T cell type, cALL type, pre-B cell type and B cell type, acute myeloid leukemias, acute unclassified leukemias and adult T cell leukemias could be clearly diagnosed by immunophenotyping of cell membrane molecules. By using additional CD11b, CD14, and CD15 monoclonal antibodies, subclassification of acute myeloid leukemia was partially possible.

Immunophenotypic analysis of acute leukemias is time consuming and often requires flow cytometric analysis. A 1-hour alkaline phosphatase-labeled streptavidin-biotin immunocytochemical procedure was evaluated as an alternative. Seventeen cases of acute leukemia, including 10 acute lymphocytic (ALL) and 7 acute nonlymphocytic, were phenotyped by the rapid immunocytochemical procedure and the results were compared with standard analyses. In all 17 cases, the diagnoses made using standard cytochemical and immunologic methods were the same as obtained in blinded reviews by rapid immunocytochemical analysis. Nine cases of precursor B-cell ALL were positive for CD19 and/or CD22. Five CD19 + cases of ALL reacted with anti-myeloperoxidase, with one case also positive for CD15. CD15 positivity was confirmed on repeated study as well as with plastic section immunoperoxidase staining. Nine cases of ALL were positive for CD10 and eight were positive for terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase. One case of ALL marked as T-cell ALL with CD1, CD2, CD3, and CD7. All cases of acute nonlymphocytic leukemia were positive for CD15, CD13, and/or CD33; anti-myeloperoxidase was positive in all but one case of monocytic leukemia. All cases of acute nonlymphocytic leukemia were negative for CD10 and one was positive for terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase. Acute leukemias apparently may be phenotyped easily and accurately in 1 hour with this immunocytochemical technique, and slides may be stored permanently for review. There was in these 17 cases high correlation of the diagnoses with standard flow cytometric and cytochemical results. This rapid method allows a coordinated evaluation of morphologic features and immunophenotype; the latter features facilitated confirmation of unexpected reactivity of myeloid markers CD15 and MPO-7 in some cases of ALL.

A detailed analysis of immunophenotype of 112 infants aged less than 18 months with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) was performed. Patients were divided into three groups on the basis of age at presentation (under 6 months: group 1: 6-12 months: group 2; 13-18 months: group 3). There were three cases of T-ALL (2.6%). The proportion of other subtypes was: common ALL in 59 patients (52.68%), pre-B ALL in 15 patients (13.3%), pre-pre-B ALL in 27 (24.1%) and acute undifferentiated leukaemia (AUL) in eight patients (7.14%). In non-T ALL, positivity to CD10 (corresponding to C-ALL and pre-B ALL) was distributed in the three age groups as follows: 38.88% (group I) 65.38% (group II) and 86.36% (group III). Conversely, immature phenotypes (pre-pre-B and AUL) were found more often in the younger patients of groups I and II, as well as anomalous phenotypes, such as the presence of myeloid antigens (MyAg) and of CD7. Prognostic significance was evaluated as event-free survival (EFS) by statistical analysis. A better outcome in CD10-positive ALL than in CD10-negative ones (48% v. 25% of long-term survivors) was demonstrated in all infants. Similarly, EFS was significantly better in MyAg-negative than in MyAg-positive cases. These results were confirmed also when adjusting for white blood cell count. This allowed the identification of CD10-negative, MyAg-positive ALL, which were relatively more frequent in infants and had a poorer clinical outcome with the current therapies. This study stresses the prognostic relevance of the immunological study in infant leukaemias and its utility in choosing different therapeutic modalities for poor risk phenotypes.

We investigated the origin of leukemic progenitors in a case of the simultaneous occurrence of myelomonocytic leukemia and multiple myeloma (IgG-kappa). At presentation, myeloperoxidase and nonspecific esterase-positive myelomonocytic cells had proliferated up to 12.2 x 10(9)/liter in the peripheral blood. Bone marrow cell differentials revealed the coexistence of myelomonocytic cells (30%) and atypical plasmacytoid cells (26%). Myelomonocytic cells in peripheral blood expressed both myeloid antigens (CD11b, CD13, CD14, CD15, CD33) and T/B-lymphoid antigens (CD2, CD4, CD5, CD7, CD10, PCA-1). Bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMC) could be divided into PCA-1 strongly positive and PCA-1 weakly positive populations, which were considered to represent myeloma cells and myelomonocytic cells, respectively; the former were CD2-positive (CD2+), CD14-, and CD15-, whereas the latter were CD2+, CD14+, and CD15+. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that, in addition to plasmacytoid cells, a minority of myelomonocytic cells showed a positive reaction for IgG staining, and production of IgG was observed in the culture supernatant of CD14+ myelomonocytic cells in peripheral blood. Southern blot analysis revealed the presence of two identical rearrangement bands of immunoglobulin heavy chain gene in both BMMC containing myeloma cells and myelomonocytic cells and CD14+ myelomonocytic cells in peripheral blood. In a long-term methylcellulose assay, peripheral blood mononuclear cells produced large compact colonies consisting of macrophages and IgG+ plasmacytoid cells (M phi/P colonies), while BMMC produced a different type of colonies consisting of CD14+ myelomonoblasts, macrophages, and IgG+ plasma cells (Mb/M phi/P colonies) in addition to M phi/P colonies. Recloning experiments showed that primary Mb/M phi/P colonies gave rise to both secondary M phi/P and Mb/M phi/P colonies. These observations strongly suggest that common leukemic progenitors provide both myeloma and myelomonocytic leukemia cells, and the mechanism of "lineage infidelity" is probably involved in the development of their "bilineal" differentiation.
