Neuroblastoma (NB) is a solid tumor of childhood with a relatively bad prognosis, with the exception of young infants (less than 1 year), in whom spontaneous regression of tumor burden occurs. The reasons for this are still unknown but immune mechanisms may be involved. In this study, we have examined the ability of several monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs), which recognize markers predominantly expressed on human haematopoietic cells, to react with four human neuroblastoma cell lines (UKF-NB 1-4) and SK-N-SH as control cell line. In order to define the phenotype of NB cells, we used a large panel of MoAbs consisting of 2 major groups: a) well characterized MoAbs raised against antigens of neuroectodermal origin from the Kemshead-serie (e.g. UJ 13A, UJ 127.II, UJ 167.11, UJ 181.4, UJ 223.8, A2B5), b) monoclonal antibodies which have been considered to react with haematopoietic cells (HLA-DR and anti-CD-molecules CD1, CD7, CD9, CD10, CD13, CD16, CD19, CD20, CD24, CD57). The phenotypic analyses were performed at various times of culture by an immunoenzymatic procedure (APAAP-technique). Most of the MoAbs used against neuroblastoma cells showed a strong reactivity pattern with the NB cell lines. None of the antibodies against T-lymphocytes bound to any of the NB cells assayed in our study, with the exception of anti-CD 1. On the contrary, B-cell markers BA-2 (CD9) and BA-1 (CD24) cross-reacted with the NB cells just as well as the marker for NK-cells (CD57), but they did not express reactivity with Leu-11b (CD16), anti-CALLA (CD10) and anti-HLA-DR.

Pretreatment blast cells from 739 adults with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) were immunophenotyped as part of a prospective treatment protocol study. Among 192 patients (26%) with T lineage ALL, 47 (6%; 24% of T lineage ALL) had lymphoblasts without sheep erythrocyte rosette formation, but with pan-T antigen CD7 on the membrane and intracellular CD3 proteins mostly in perinuclear accumulation. The T-cell surface antigens CD5 and/or CD2 and focal acid phosphatase were additional markers of this subgroup traditionally called pre-T ALL, whereas thymocyte antigen CD1 as well as CD4 and CD8 antigens were not expressed. Hematopoietic progenitor cell markers, namely terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT), and in part common ALL antigen (CD10), HLA-DR antigens, and/or My-10 (CD34), a unique antigen of marrow cells absent in thymus cells, further characterized this immature T-ALL form of putative prothymocytic phenotype (CD7+/intracellular CD3+/TdT+/My-10+/-/HLA-DR+/-/CD10+/-). The prethymic T cell character was supported by germ-line T-cell receptor beta genes found in 21 of 36 patients analyzed. In five cases only T gamma-chain genes were rearranged. Fifteen patients, however, had rearrangements of both T beta and T gamma genes. Immunoglobulin heavy chain genes were rearranged only in two cases. Pre-T ALL differed significantly from E-rosette+ T-ALL in some presenting clinical features, namely mediastinal mass, lymphoadenopathy, and platelet count, and independently of clinical factors in prognosis (P = .02, median remission duration: 15.7 v 33.5 months, and P = .02, median survival time: 24.6 v 50.7 months). We conclude that ALL classification based solely on T- or B-cell lineage affiliation is not sufficient but needs further subdivision according to relevant maturation stages as exemplified here within the T-cell axis. The putative prethymic T cell progenitor phenotype described might help elucidate the sequence of genetic events that commit normal hematopoietic cells to the T-cell lineage.

Seventeen patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) whose blasts co-expressed the T-cell associated CD7 antibody were identified among 160 consecutive AML cases. Fourteen had FAB defined AML according to morphocytochemical criteria, whereas three patients were classified as 'MO' on the basis of immunophenotype. The incidence of CD7 positively was particularly significant in the less differentiated subtypes M0 and M1 compared with other FAB groups (P less than 0.001). In all cases the myeloid determinants CD13 and/or CD33 were associated with CD7 expression. Other B-lymphoid (CD10, CD19) or T-lymphoid (CD2, surface and cytoplasmic CD3) markers were analysed and found to be negative. Five out of 15 cases examined were TdT+. Clonal rearrangements of the immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) and/or T-cell receptor (TcR) beta chain genes were identified in only three out of 13 cases. Among these, one out of five co-expressing TdT showed IgH rearrangement when analysed at the DNA level. Clinical features at presentation and response to induction therapy did not allow us to consider CD7+ AML patients as a distinct subgroup with prognostic significance. Our data indicate that CD7 expression is a common finding in immature AML, being generally found in the absence of other T-cell features. Rather than suggesting the occurrence of 'mixed leukaemia', such cases confirm a broader spectrum of CD7 reactivity and its possible identification of a particular subset of myeloid progenitors.

Cell surface markers of 18 patients with non-T, non-B acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) were analysed with a panel of monoclonal antibodies (McAbs) by indirect immunofluorescence. The results showed that the cells of 13/18 patients originated from immature B cell or B progenitors. The cells of 12/18 patients expressed B cell antigens (CD 19+ or CDw 40+). It was suggested that antibodies directed to these two surface markers could help each other in the diagnosis of ALL of B cell origin. Diagnosis might be further improved if anti-CD19 and CDw 40 McAb be used at the same time. CD 9 antigen was expressed on immature B cell surface. 13/14 patients with B-CLL did not react with anti-CD 9, but 14/18 with non-T, non-B ALL were positive. Cells of 7/18 patients expressed CALLA (CD 10), HLA-DR and CD 19/CDw 40, but did not express T cell associated antigens (CD1, CD2, CD3, CD7), so CALLA(+)-ALL also belongs to B cell lineage.

A human T-cell line, designated as MKB-1, was established by cloning procedures in a suspension culture from a peripheral blood of a 17-year-old female patient with acute myeloblastic leukemia. The immunological marker profile of MKB-1 indicated that unlike a myeloid phenotype of the original leukemic cells, the cells were positive for CD3 (both cell surface and cytoplasm), T cell receptor (TcR) alpha/beta heterodimer, CD4, CD5, CD7, CD10, CD57 (Leu7), SN-1 and the cytoplasmic TcR beta chain. These findings indicate the T cell nature of the established cells. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) was also detected in 60%. We did not detect markers of human myeloid and B cell associated antigens, HLA-class II or immunoglobulin chains. Cytogenetic study revealed that the MKB-1 cells had a female hypo-tetraploid karyotype with chromosomal abnormalities including a translocation between chromosomes 10 and 14. The breakpoint of chromosome 14 of this translocation, 14q11.2, is known to be the location of TcR alpha and delta genes; t(10; 14) (q26; q11.2) is a variant type of a T cell neoplasm-associated translocation, t (10; 14) (q24; q11.2). The MKB-1 cell line is unusual in that its T cell characteristics are phenotypically and cytogenetically distinct from the original myeloid leukemia cells.

Pretreatment peripheral and/or bone marrow blasts from 14 patients with acute unclassifiable leukemia (AUL) expressing myeloid related cell-surface antigen (CDII) or megakaryocyte-platelet related cell-surface antigen (OKM6), were isolated for further analysis in this study. Among 11 cases of CD11+AUL, despite a lack of myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, one patient's blasts possessed Auer rod in a basophilic cytoplasm and another one's blasts expressed MPO maintaining the same surface phenotype after 20 months of his clinical course. The blast from 2 cases possessed both myelomonocytic and monocyte-specific antigens on the cell-surface, whereas the remaining nine cases completely lacked monocyte-specific antigen which is detectable by monoclonal antibodies, Mo2, My4 and Leu M3 (CD14). In addition, we revealed the presence of MPO protein in the cytoplasm of 3 cases of AUL patients by cytoplasmic immunofluorescence test utilizing monoclonal antibody (MA1). Following these results, the former was diagnosed as acute myelomonocytic leukemia (AMMoL) and the latter as acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) by immunophenotypic analysis using flow cytometry (FACS IV) and cytoplasmic immunofluorescence test. We have also described three cases of acute megakaryocytic leukemia which were demonstrated by the presence of megakaryocyte-platelet-related cell-surface antigens detected by utilizing flow cytometry and monoclonal antibodies in addition to both the PPO activity which was shown by ultrastructural cytochemistry, and the emergence of differentiation antigens while culturing these leukemic cells. The blast of 1 case possessed both platelet GPIb and GPIIb/IIIa cell-surface antigens detected by 5F1 (CD36), AN51 (CDw42), and J15, P2 and HPL2 (CDw41), respectively, whereas the remaining two cases almont lacked the GPIb cell-surface antigen. Hence, the former was diagnosed as immature (pro) megakaryocytic leukemia and the latter as acute megakaryoblastic leukemia from the viewpoint of immunophenotypic analysis as will be discussed in this article. These leukemic blasts did not express both T-cell lineage antigens which are detectable by monoclonal antibodies, T6 (CD1), T11 (CD2), T3 (CD3), T4 (CD4), T1 (CD5), Tp40, Leu9 (CD7), T8 (CD8), and B-cell lineage antigens which are detectable by monoclonal antibodies, B4 (CD19), B1 (CD20), B2 (CD21) and J5 (CD10).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Configuration of the T cell receptor (TCR) beta, gamma, and delta chain genes, as well as immunoglobulin (Ig) heavy and light chain genes, was studied in 29 cases of E rosette-negative (pre-T cell) acute lymphoblastic leukemias that lack early B cell (CD19), myeloid (CD33), as well as most T cell associated membrane antigens such as CD1, C4, and CD8, but express CD7, cytoplasmic CD3 (cCD3), and TdT strongly, as well as CD5 and/or CD2 heterogeneously. Hematopoietic progenitor cell markers, namely HLA-DR, J5 (CD10), and My10 (CD34), further characterized this immature T ALL of putative prothymocytic phenotype. Eleven ALLs showed a germline configuration of TCR as well as Ig genes. In three cases, only TCR delta sequences were rearranged, and four additional cases were characterized by recombination of both, TCR gamma as well as TCR delta sequences. Eleven patients showed concurrent rearrangements of TCR beta, gamma, and delta chain genes. An Ig heavy chain rearrangement was observed in one case. These data support the hypothesis that, analogous to pre-B development, a cascade of TCR rearrangements occurs in pre-T cells. Moreover, findings reported here suggest that CD7, as well as CD2 and CD5, antigens appear on precursor cells prior to entry into the thymus and support a model for the developmental hierarchy of TCR genes during early T cell ontogeny.

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.

Fifty-four patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL: 1 relapse, 21 high risk first complete remission (CR 1), 29 second CR (CR 2), and 3 third CR (CR 3) were treated by autologous bone marrow transplantation at three centers. Before storage, the marrows were purged ex vivo with appropriate MAbs RFAL3 (CD10), SB4 (CD19), and RFT2 (CD7), with rabbit serum as the source of complement. All patients received total body irradiation either 750 cGy (middose 15 cGy/min) as a single fraction or 6 x 200 cGy over 3 days (midline dose 16 cGy/min) with lung shielding from 1,100 cGy. The patients who received 750 cGy also received cyclophosphamide or the same drug combined with ara-C or prednisone, teniposide, vincristine, ara-C, and dauno-rubicin. Patients receiving 200 cGy x 6 also received either cyclophosphamide, melphalan, or ara-C and cyclophosphamide. Three patients died of post transplantation complications (interstitial pneumonia, hepatitis B liver necrosis, or encephalitis). This gives a procedure related mortality of 5%. Nonfatal complications were 10 cases of septicemia, 4 interstitial pneumonia, 2 interstitial nephritis, 1 veno-occlusive disease (VOD), and 1 case of hemolytic uremic syndrome. The patient autografted in relapse died of relapse within 2 months. In CR 1 6 or 21 patients have had a relapse, and the actuarial leukemia free survival from CR is 65% (median follow-up 16 months). In CR 2-3 18 of 32 patients have relapsed, and the actuarial leukemia free survival is 31% (median follow-up 18.5 months) from CR. Twelve patients have achieved an inversion, (i.e., present CR longer than previous CR), with a further seven with the potential to achieve inversion. We conclude that ABMT in high risk ALL has a low procedure related mortality (5%), and there are few other complications. The in vitro purging with MAbs had no adverse effect on bone marrow reconstitution, but this study was not designed to demonstrate its antileukemic efficacy. The actuarial leukemia free survival time in the present study for patients with high risk CR 1 and the inversions in CF 2-3 are promising and indicate a potential beneficial effect of ABMT.

From January 1987 to April 1988 six children we studied cytologically with the use of alkaline phosphatase-anti-alkaline phosphatase (APAAP) method and monoclonal antibodies (MoP) in order to establish the diagnosis of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. (NHL). Cytologic studies concerned pleural fluid (3 patients) imprints of the lymph node (3 patients), bone marrow smears (2 patients) and cerebrospinal fluid (1 patient). We performed simultaneously routine cytologic and histopathologic studies of the lymph nodes. Antigen T6 (thymocytes) was present in blasts of all patients, which permitted us to classify the blasts as common stage II group according to Reinherz. In all cases we found at least two positive antigen detected by MoP pan T (CD2, CD3, CD5, CD7) in one case--no expression of antigen T3 (CD3) and in two cases no antigen detected by an antibody CD2. Antigen Ia was found in one patient, and weak expression of antigen CALLA (CD10) in one patients. In three patients we showed a simultaneous expression of antigens T4, T8, whereas in two patients they were not observed. One child possessed mature phenotype T4, T6. By using APAAP method with MoP in cytologic studies it was possible to diagnose T-lymphoblastic lymphoma in six children before the results of histopathologic examination of the lymph nodes.
