Hematopoietic cells occur in a continuum of many different stages of functional differentiation, from totipotential stem cells to terminally differentiated lineage-specific cells. At some point during differentiation, progenitor cells become committed to a particular lineage. Little is known about the surface molecules that distinguish lineage-committed progenitor cells from multipotential progenitor cells; this study was undertaken to address this issue. Exploiting a thymic stromal cell co-culture system, we show that CD34+ bone marrow cells expressing the T lymphocyte-associated CD2 and CD7 molecules, the B lymphocyte-associated CD10 and CD19, or the myeloid-associated CD33, contain progenitor cells that can generate T lymphocytes, granulocytes, and monocytes, indicating that the expression of any of these molecules on progenitor cells does not imply lineage commitment. CD34+CD13bright, CD34+CD14+, and CD34+CD15+ cells generated myeloid progeny, and CD34+CD20+ cells failed to differentiate along the T lymphoid and myeloid lineages. Thus expression of CD13, which precedes that of CD14 and CD15 during early hematopoiesis, appears to coincide with commitment to myeloid development. Our findings also indicate that expression of CD20 is restricted to progenitor cells committed to B lymphocyte development.

To define an optimal regimen for mobilizing blood-derived progenitor cells from healthy donors for allogeneic transplantation, we have studied the early and lineage-committed CD34+ subsets in the leukapheresis products after mobilization with G-CSF (10 micrograms/kg/d), GM-CSF (10 micrograms/kg/d), and the combination of G-CSF and GM-CSF (G/GM, 5 micrograms/kg/d of each). We used three color and five dimensional flow cytometry with a panel of monoclonal antibodies against CD3, CD7, CD10, CD11b, CD15, CD33, CD34, CD38, CD45, CD61, and CD71. As reference, we also analyzed CD34+ subsets in samples from umbilical cord blood (UCB) and from adult bone marrow (BM). The level of total CD34+ cells was 0.04 +/- 0.03% (mean +/- SD) in peripheral blood at baseline, and reached a maximum on day 5 or day 6 of administration of growth factors. The percentages of CD34+ cells in the leukapheresis products were 1.06 +/- 0.37% (mean +/- SD) with G-CSF mobilization, 0.35 +/- 0.24% with GM-CSF, and 0.92 +/- 0.61% with the combination of both. Among the CD34+ subsets, the percentage of cells that were CD34+/CD38- was highest in UCB (7.18 +/- 5.58%) and lowest in G-CSF mobilized peripheral blood (0.80 +/- 0.22%), whereas GM-CSF or G/GM mobilized products gave rise to intermediate levels (4.43 +/- 3.40%, 3.61 +/- 2.42%, respectively). The differences between G/GM and G-CSF, between UCB and G-CSF, or between UCB and BM are significant. The absolute numbers of CD34+/CD38- and CD34+/CD38-/HLA-DR+ subsets are also significantly higher in the G/GM mobilized products than in G-CSF products. The cloning efficiency of G/GM mobilized CD34+ cells was 2 times higher than that of G-CSF mobilized CD34+ cells, albeit the difference was statistically marginal. The profile of CD34+ subsets mobilized by the combination of G/GM approaches that found in UCB. Our data illustrate that different growth factors and regimens can preferentially mobilize different CD34+ subsets from normal donors, and that the combination of G-CSF and GM-CSF might be an optimal regimen.

Morphologic, immunologic, cytogenetic, and clinical features were studied in 9 cases of acute undifferentiated leukemia (AUL). These patients were unclassifiable by FAB criteria, they were CD34+ and did not express myeloid- or lymphoid-associated antigens (CD13, CD33, CD14, CD15, CD61, CD19, CD10, CD22, CD7, CD2, CD5, CD3). Clonal abnormalities were seen in 8 of 9 cases. Del(5q) as the sole anomaly was observed in 3 cases; +13 was the primary change in 3 cases, and isolated trisomy 12 was found in 1 patient. A complex karyotype with trisomy 12q, in association with del 17p and trisomy 21q was detected in 1 case. One patient with 5q- relapsed with refractory anemia with excess of blasts; the presence of dysgranulopoiesis and a few blasts with possible monocytoid morphology in the remaining 2 patients point to a "myeloid nature" of these leukemias. Analysis of cytologic features in our 3 patients with +13, in combination with previously reported cases, suggests the occurrence of immature stem cell involvement with limited differentiation potential, possibly more along the myeloid than the lymphoid lineage. The significance of trisomy 12q in this subset of leukemia remains elusive; some clues of minimal differentiation towards the myeloid lineage in our cases are provided by positivity for the CD117 (c-kit) antigen and by relapse with acute myeloid leukemia without maturation (M1) in one patient. We conclude that, with presently available diagnostic techniques, AUL is a rare subset of leukemia, in which cytogenetic changes are confined to a few chromosomes, with prevalent involvement of 5q and of chromosomes 13 and 12. Chromosome findings may be of value in clinical practice, especially in those cases with "myeloid-oriented" karyotype.

Karyotype, immunophenotype, and molecular studies are important in the evaluation of Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia as these data provide diagnostic as well as prognostic information. We present a case of acute lymphoblastic leukemia with unusual cytogenetics, 45,XY,i(7q),der(9)t(3;9)(q12;p22),del(12)(p12), :der(18)t(3;18)(p14;q22),-3. This karyotype is hypodiploid, showing loss of chromosome 3, a very rare occurrence. Hypodiploidy and translocations are suggestive of a poor clinical outcome. Cytogenetics also showed a chromosome 12p deletion which has been implicated in the oncogenesis of some acute leukemias. Immunophenotype by flow cytometry was positive for CD7 and CD10, T, and precursor B cell markers respectively. Given the specificity of CD7 for T cell processes, it was felt that the flow cytometry was more suggestive of a T cell process. Gene rearrangement studies showing a T cell receptor rearrangement helped confirm the T cell lineage of this malignancy. Hypodiploidy and T cell phenotype are indicators of poor prognosis. Interestingly this patient was refractory to two conventional chemotherapeutic protocols and finally responded to an unconventional protocol of high dose Ara C, etopside, and L asparaginase.

We compared the immunophenotypic and karyotypic features of 25 cases of minimally differentiated acute myeloid leukemia (AML-M0) with those of 247 cases comprising all AML French-American-British (FAB) classification. Myeloperoxidase (MPO) was detectable with a specific monoclonal antibody in all cases of AML-M0, whereas CD13 and CD33 were both negative in 4 of the 25 cases. Thus, anti-MPO reliably detects minimal myeloid differentiation in AML-M0. CD34 and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) were more frequently expressed in AML-M0 (96% and 68% of the cases, respectively) than in the other FAB subsets (P < .001 for both). By contrast, GP-170 and CD7 were less frequently expressed in AML-M0 than in FAB classes such as M1, M4, and M5 (P = .02 and .003, respectively). A total of 80% of AML-M0 cases carried lymphoid markers (including TdT), and 48% showed a coordinate positivity for two or more of them. CD2, CD5, CD10, and CD19 were expressed in a similar fashion among the different FAB groups, whereas CD4 expression was significantly more frequent in AML-M0, AML-M4, and AML-M5 (P = .014). AML-M0 was characterized by a more frequent occurrence of complex karyotypes. In addition, approximately 20% of cases had TdT positivity, complex karyotypes, and anomalies of chromosome 5 and/or 7, a pattern not observed in the other FAB subsets. Finally, 80% of anomalies of chromosome 5 and/or 7 in AML-M0 were comprised within complex karyotypes, whereas only 13% of the remaining FAB cases carried this feature. In summary, AML-M0 frequently expresses immunophenotypic and karyotypic aspects that are likely to identify a "stem cell" pattern.

Expression of the CD4 antigen was observed on human fetal liver, fetal bone marrow (BM), and umbilical cord blood progenitors expressing high levels of CD34. Using clonal and liquid-culture assays, CD4+ CD34++ Lin- (lineage = CD3, CD8, CD10, CD14, CD15, CD16, CD19, CD20, and glycophorin A) fetal liver progenitors were found to have a greater proliferative potential than CD4- CD34++ Lin- progenitors, whereas the CD4- fraction was more enriched for erythroid progenitors. Both the CD4+ and the CD4- progenitor subpopulations also gave rise to multilineage engraftment upon transplantation into human fetal bone fragments, supportive of B-lymphoid and myeloid growth, or into human fetal thymic fragments, supportive of T-cell growth, implanted in scid/scid (SCID) mice. However, in SCID-hu mice transplanted with graded doses of donor cells ranging from 2.0 x 10(2) to 2.0 x 10(4) cells, BM reconstitution by the CD4+ fraction of CD34++ Lin- cells was more frequent than by the CD4- fraction when low numbers of cells were injected. These functional data strongly suggest that stem cells reside among CD4+ CD34++ Lin- fetal liver cells. This hypothesis was further supported by the observations that CD4+ CD34++ Lin- fetal liver cells were enriched for CDw90+ (Thy-1), CD117+ (kit), CD123+, HLA-DR+, CD7-, CD38-, CD45RA-, CD71-, CD115- (fms), and rhodamine 123(dull) cells, a phenotypic profile believed to represent fetal stem cells. Furthermore, all CD4+ CD34++ Lin- fetal liver cells also expressed CD13 and CD33.

Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is a type of acute leukemia showing unique clinical, morphological and cytogenetic features. A skin infiltration by APL cells is an extremely rare occasion, but there have been several case reports of leukemia cutis in APL, in which all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) may have induced the skin infiltration. However, no immunohistochemical analyses of the APL cells in the skin have been done to date. A 30-year-old woman with APL developed multiple reddish purple nodules on the extremities in her second complete remission. Histological findings revealed a dense infiltration of medium to large atypical cells, which were positive for myeloperoxidase, throughout the dermis. Despite the conventional chemotherapy and ATRA therapy she died from disseminated intravascular coagulation during her third relapse. Leukemic cells in the peripheral blood before the treatment with ATRA revealed CD3-/CD4-/CD5-/CD7-/CD8-/CD10-/CD13++/CD14-/CD19 -/ CD20-/CD33++/CD38++/CD41-/Ia-, but they expressed CD3-/CD4-/CD5-/CD7++/ CD8-/CD10-/CD13++/CD14-/CD19-/CD20-/CD33++ /CD38++/CD41+/Ia+ after the treatment. We suggest that the alternation of the surface molecules on the tumor cells is closely associated with the skin infiltration of APL cells.

Immunophenotypic analysis of 285 newly diagnosed previously untreated, unselected, acute lymphoblastic leukaemia cases carried out at the Cancer Institute (W.I.A) in Madras reveals that 126 (44.2%) cases showed T-immunophenotype. The study was conducted using flow-cytometric immunofluorescent or immunoperoxidase methods using an extensive panel of monoclonal antibodies comprising CD1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 57, 19, 20 kappa, lambda, IgG, M, D, CIg, CD10, HLA-DR, CD13, 14, 33, 34 and CD61. The study group comprised 73 (57.9%) paediatric cases (<15 years) and 53 (42.1%) adult cases (>15 years). Based on their reactivity with various anti-T-cell monoclonal antibodies, all T-ALL cases were assigned to one of the intrathymic differentiation compartments. 56.2% of paediatric T-ALLs arise from intrathymic compartment II, 34.2% from compartment III and 9.6% from compartment I. Among adults, 45.3% arise from compartment I. 33.9% from compartment III and 20.8% from compartment II. The most frequently observed CD antigens in our study group are CD7, 5, 2 and 3. A correlative study of socioeconomic status reveals that 67.5% of T-ALL cases occurred among lower socioeconomic strata.

We describe a case of bilineal leukemia in a 5-year old boy with a rare immunophenotype and the novel translocation t(9;17)(p11;q11) as the sole chromosomal abnormality. Two immunologically distinct blast cell subsets expressed T-markers (CD2, CD5, CD7) and common ALL markers (TdT, CD19, CD22, CD10), respectively. Both cell populations were CD34 negative. The patient, who presented with CNS leukemia, responded promptly to standard chemotherapy for lymphoblastic leukemia and remains in complete remission 20 months from diagnosis. Other translocations between chromosomes 9 and 17 have been infrequently reported in a variety of leukemias but as yet their biologic significance is unknown. The clinical course of this case suggests that t(9;17)(p11;q11) may not have an adverse influence on the disease outcome. However, the role of t(9;17) in the pathogenesis of this unusual lymphoid phenotype remains unresolved.

To facilitate the analysis of immunolabelled peripheral blood or bone marrow leucocytes by flow cytometry, a number of reagents are available commercially that lyse erythrocytes and fix leucocytes. This study has investigated the effect on antibody-labelled whole blood of the Q-Prep procedure, in which erythrocytes are lysed with formic acid, and leucocytes are fixed with formaldehyde. Whole blood samples were labelled with the nuclear dye LDS-751 and with antibodies to HLA-DR or belonging to CD2, CD3, CD4, CD7, CD8, CD10, CD13, CD14, CD19, CD20, CD29, CD33, CD45, CD45RA, CD56, and CD62L (TQ-1) that were directly conjugated to either phycoerythrin (PE) and/or fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC). Leucocytes were analysed by flow cytometry either in unfixed, unlysed whole blood (15) or after preparation using the Q-Prep system. The binding of eight antibodies, CD19-FITC, CD2-PE, CD3-PE, CD4-PE, CD19-PE, CD29-PE, CD45RA-PE, and CD56-PE, to the surface of lymphocytes was reduced, resulting in significant changes (P < 0.05) in the percentages of cells that stained positively and/or their mean molecules of equivalent fluorochrome (MEF). Further analysis revealed that this was due to the formic acid used during the erythrocyte lysis stage.
