We present a patient with acute lymphatic leukemia, eosinophilia, and a 5;14-translocation, a rare but well-documented condition. In order to clarify whether granulocytes were involved in the disease, we applied the MAC (Morphology-Antibody-Chromosomes) technique to samples of the bone marrow and, during a central nervous system relapse, to those of the cerebrospinal fluid. The karyotype of the blast cells was 47,XY, + X,t(5;14)(q31;q32),i(7)(q10). Interphase cytogenetic study by in situ hybridization with an X-specific alphoid probe revealed the abnormality in CD10, CD19, and TdT (terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase) positive lymphoid cells, whereas CD13 positive, Sudan black B positive, eosinophilic, and basophilic granulocytes as well as monocytes and small lymphocytes did not have the abnormality. Our results show that the eosinophilic and basophilic granulocytes in this subtype of acute leukemia do not belong to the malignant clone but are reactive. This study also confirmed the usefulness of the MAC technique in distinguishing neoplastic and reactive cells in malignancy.

We describe a simple reproducible system for enrichment and long-term culture of human B-cell progenitors. Enriched CD34+ cord blood mononuclear cells are seeded onto a murine stromal cell line to establish a biphasic culture system. These cultures are characterized by transient growth of myeloid cells followed by outgrowth of cells highly enriched for early B-cell progenitors. Cultures consisting of > 90% early B-lineage cells [expressing CD10, CD19, CD38, and CD45 but lacking CD20, CD22, CD23, and surface IgM] are maintained for > 12 weeks without growth factor addition. Cells remain predominantly germ line at the immunoglobulin locus and express only low levels of cytoplasmic mu chain, terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase, and recombination-activating gene 1 product. They are unresponsive to the pre-B-cell growth factors interleukin 7 or stem cell factor, or both, suggesting that growth support is provided by a cross-reactive murine stromal cell factor. Cultured B-cell progenitors are generated in large numbers ( > 10(8) cells from a typical cord blood specimen) suitable for use in biochemical analysis and gene-transfer studies. This system should be useful for study of normal and abnormal early human B-lymphopoiesis.

The diagnosis of primitive hematologic malignancies in extramedullary sites (lymphoblastic lymphoma of T- or B-cell type and myeloid sarcoma) on paraffin-embedded tissue sections is difficult and often impossible because of the primitive morphology of the neoplastic cells. The authors studied 21 extramedullary tumors of lymphoid or myeloid blasts. They used a panel of 22 antibodies on frozen sections and 9 antibodies on paraffin sections to determine the spectrum of immunophenotypes and to develop a practical panel for diagnosis. All but two of the cases could be classified as lymphoid or myeloid using immunohistologic analysis. Thirteen cases were classified as lymphoblastic lymphoma/acute lymphoblastic leukemia (LBL/ALL); 10 were classified as precursor T (CD7+, CD3+/-, CD45+) and 3 as precursor B-cell (CD19+/-CD10+CD45-) type. Five cases were classified as myeloid sarcoma (CD13+ myeloperoxidase+, lysozyme+). Two LBL/ALL coexpressed either CD33 (1 case) or CD15 (1 case), and one myeloid sarcoma coexpressed TdT and CD7. One case appeared to be truly mixed lineage, coexpressing CD3 with myeloperoxidase and lysozyme, and two cases expressed no lineage-specific antigens. There were clinical differences between the three major tumor types, and within the category of T-precursor LBL/ALL, classification according to stage of thymocyte differentiation was associated with distinctive clinical features. In conclusion, the spectrum of immunophenotypes detected on frozen section was similar to that reported by flow cytometry on peripheral blood and bone marrow specimens. The most useful antigens on frozen sections were CD7 and CD3 (T cell), CD10 and CD19 (B cell), and CD13 (myeloid). TdT was coexpressed by one myeloid sarcoma and was undetectable in 40% of LBL/ALL. On paraffin sections, myeloperoxidase and lysozyme were reliable markers of myeloid lineage, but none of the markers used on paraffin sections distinguished between LBL/ALL of T- and B-precursor types. Both B-LBL/ALL and myeloid sarcomas were often CD45- on paraffin sections, which may be a obstacle in determining the diagnosis. These distinctions appear to have clinical relevance.

We report a case of 33-year-old Japanese female who had B-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma with Burkitt's lymphoma (BL)-like morphologic feature. Both breasts were involved and the resected tissue showed starry sky macrophages and a proliferation of lymphoblasts containing lipid droplets. The nucleus of the lymphoblast was oval or indented. The neoplastic cells examined expressed TdT, CD10, CD14, CD38, and WH14 (a marker of pre-B cell leukemia/lymphomas). Southern blotting analysis showed a rearrangement of the immunoglobulin heavy chain gene and germline configurations of T-cell receptor gene and c-myc 3rd exon gene. The immunophenotype and genotype of this neoplasm were different from those of previously reported BLs, but identical to those of B-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma. This case, therefore, was regarded as B-cell type lymphoblastic lymphoma containing lipid droplets.

Important insights into leukocyte differentiation and the cellular origin of leukemias have been achieved by the use of monoclonal antibodies for the detection of cellular antigens with impact on the diagnosis and classification of hematological malignancies. A successful rapid immunoenzymatic technique using application of microwave irradiation (MIWI) on bone marrow cells of various children with ALL is described. The MIWI-stimulated immunotyping of acute leukemia cells with a panel of monoclonal antibodies against differentiation antigens (i.e. CD2, CD7, CD10, CD19, CD20, CD24, HLA-DR and TdT) has been compared with the conventional APAAP procedure developed by Mason et al 1983. The commercial microwave oven we used operates at 2.45 GHz. Fifteen sec irradiation at 350 W during all incubation steps produced excellent color reactions with Fast Red TR and Fast Blue BB similar to the conventional immunoenzymatic method. The results so far have demonstrated that the application of the MIWI-technique eliminates the need for long incubation periods without loss of sensitivity. With this technique an immunological diagnosis of childhood leukemia cells is possible using air dried smears in an microwave oven within 30 minutes.

We have compared CD10 antigen expression in normal fetal bone marrow with that of B-linage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Both quantitative indirect immunofluoresence (QIFI) and direct immunofluorescence (IF) tests with Quantum beads were used to convert median fluorescence intensity (MFI) values into numbers of antigen molecules expressed per cell (AgE). Lymphoid precursors in the fetal marrow and liver expressed 3-12.5 x 10(3) CD10 molecules/cell with an upper limit of 5 x 10(4)/cell (MaxAgE). The median CD10 AgE in the different cases of acute B-lineage ALL were variable and ranged from undetectable to very high values (> 1.8 x 10(5). In 24 of the 72 cases (33%) tested with QIFI the median CD10 AgE was above the highest values seen in normal samples (> 5 x 10(4)/cell). An additional 23.6% of cases had higher median values than the normal median CD10 AgE. Next, CD10 antigen was quantitated in 78 cases during the routine multiparameter analysis of B-lineage leukemia using CD10/class II/CD34 3-color IF test or CD10/TdT 2-color IF test. The aberrant overexpression was confirmed in 43.6% of ALL cases. The CD10bright display suggested ALL diagnosis even when few cells were available for study, e.g., in early relapse and in ALL masquerading as aplastic anemia. The levels of CD10 expression were maintained in relapse. In addition, different CD10 levels were associated with the various chromosomal alterations: high CD10 levels (> 3 x 10(4)/cell) with hyperdiploidy, low CD10 levels (1.8-4 x 10(3)/cell) with the t(1;19) and undetectable levels (< 1.2 x 10(3)/cell) with the t(4;11) translocations.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Clinical and cytologic characteristics were correlated to immunologic markers in 154 patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The panel of monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) was selected to identify differentiation-associated antigens of both the myeloid and the lymphoid lineages (CD13, CD33, CD14, CD15, CD7, CD34, CD10, HLA-DR, CD19, CD2, CD5, TdT). The expression of multidrug resistance P-glycoprotein (P-170) was also evaluated in 117 patients. Differences in antigenic expression was observed among the various French-American-British (FAB) subgroups. HLA-DR was poorly expressed on the blasts of acute promyelocytic leukemia (M3), and was always found in FAB M5. CD34 was detectable in all M0 cases and only in one M3 (p < 0.001). Lymphoid-associated antigens were positive in 74 cases (48.1%). In particular, CD7 was found in 49 patients (31.8%), and TdT in 30 (21.3%), 15 samples displaying coexpression of these two antigens. The incidence of CD7+ cases was particularly elevated in M0 and M5 AML (p = 0.005). It significantly correlated with the expression of CD34, HLA-DR, P-170 (p < 0.001, p = 0.018 and p = 0.034 respectively), and with a leukocyte count > 50 x 10(9)/l (p = 0.038). Sixty-nine (59%) samples demonstrated P-170 positivity. Again, this phenotype was particularly expressed in the poorly differentiated forms (M5, M0 and M1) and showed significant correlation with the immaturity markers CD34, CD7 and HLA-DR (p = 0.013, p = 0.022 and p = 0.001, respectively). Expression of individual antigens correlated with prognosis. Refractoriness to first line therapy was associated with CD7 expression (p = 0.002) and P-170 (p = 0.001). The CD7 marker was also significantly associated with a very low overall survival (p < 0.001) and continuous complete remission (p < 0.001). CD14 expression also significantly predicted lower survival rates (p = 0.033). The combination (CD7+ CD14+) identified a subset of patients with a particularly adverse outcome. The prognostic value of CD7 expression, alone or in combination with other markers, was confirmed in multivariate analysis.

We report here an uncommon case of neonatal acute leukaemia that presented concomitant with serological evidence of rubella infection. The clinical course was aggressive and the patient died 5 days after diagnosis from septicaemia. Leukaemic blasts had a mixed lineage immunophenotype co-expressing a constellation of B-lymphoid (CD19, cytCD22, TdT) and myeloid (CD13, CD33, CD14, anti-MPO) markers, as well as multiple adhesion molecules and markers associated with early lympho-myeloid progenitor cells (CD34, CD7, HLA-DR). A previously unrecorded discordant expression of different CD10 and CD34 epitopes was identified using different monoclonal antibodies. The karyotype was 46,XX t(4;11)(q21;q23) and molecular analysis confirmed rearrangement of the trithorax-related oncogene HRX at 11q23. There was a clonal biallelic rearrangement of the immunoglobulin heavy-chain gene. The features of this rare case have implications for possible aetiological events leading to leukaemia.

We describe the case of an infant with immune thrombocytopenia whose bone marrow showed an increased percentage of CD10/TdT-positive lymphoid cells that resembled the onset of an acute lymphoproliferative disorder. Genotypic analysis of bone marrow, however, failed to reveal the malignant origin of these B cell precursors. After 8 months of follow-up, the child is alive and well, and shows a chronic form of ITP. Although a relation between this B cell proliferation and the onset of ITP cannot be excluded, it is important to consider this atypical pattern as a benign hematologic condition.

A cytogenetic study of a 38-year-old patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) revealed a t(1;19)(q23;p13), which is a characteristic translocation of childhood ALL. The leukemic cells were positive for the CD10, CD19, HLA-DR, TdT and cytoplasmic mu-chain. Both of the immunoglobulin heavy chain gene loci were rearranged and the RNA-based polymerase chain reaction demonstrated the E2A/PBX1 fusion transcript which is the result of the t(1;19). This finding suggests that the t(1;19) is implicated not only in childhood ALL but also in adult ALL patients.
