To further characterize the function of the common acute lymphoblastic leukemia antigen (CALLA; CD10, neutral endopeptidase 24.11, NEP) in early lymphoid development, we have identified murine lymphoid progenitors expressing CD10/NEP and analyzed the effects of inhibiting the enzyme in in vitro assays of murine lymphoid differentiation. CD10/NEP transcripts and enzymatic activity were primarily restricted to the subpopulation of murine lymphoid progenitors, termed pro-B cells, which were isolated from bone marrow (BM) and modified Whitlock-Witte cultures and defined by coexpression of B220 and low levels of Thy-1. CD10/NEP transcripts and cell surface enzymatic activity were also detected in BM stromal cells known to support the development of B-lymphoid progenitors. In contrast, Abelson and H-ras transformed pre-B-cell lines were CD10/NEP- as were Thy-1-B220+ pre-B cells from BM and modified Whitlock-Witte cultures and Thy-1lowLin- (B220-Mac-1-GR-1-Ly-2/3-) uncommitted hematopoietic progenitors from BM. The expression of CD10/NEP on murine pro-B cells and BM stromal cells suggests a role for the enzyme in early B-cell ontogeny. In modified Whitlock-Witte cultures in which Thy-1lowLin- progenitors plated on BM stromal cells differentiate into Thy-1lowB220+ pro-B and Thy-1-B220+ pre-B cells, the addition of specific CD10/NEP inhibitors increased the number of lymphoid colonies at days 5 through 7 by 34% (P < .001). The results suggest that CD10/NEP participates in the regulation of the earliest stages of stromal cell-dependent B lymphopoiesis.

A continuous canine lymphoma cell line (DL. 24N) was established by serial transplantation from a diffuse large cell lymphoma into athymic nude mice, yielding subcutaneous tumours at the injection site associated with lymph node metastasis. The transplanted tumour cells, of canine origin as assessed by the karyotype, appear comparable to the large non-cleaved and immunoblastic human cells, as did the initial tumour cells. Immunological studies show reactivity with antibodies to dog immunoglobulins, DT-2 and Thy-1, to MHC-class II antigens, and to both CD10 (CALLA) and CD21 (CR2) human antigens. Such a cell line, showing similarities with some of the human diffuse large cell lymphomas, will thus provide a new tool for further comparative studies of malignant lymphomas.

The incidence rate of acute mixed-lineal leukemias, distinguished in a group of patients with acute non-lymphoblastic leukemia, in children and adults was about the same: CALLA 10-20%, T-cell antigens 15-22%, Thy-1 15-17%. The incidence rate of acute lymphoblastic leukemia with myeloid (17-21%) and erythroid (12-13%) antigens did not significantly differ in children and adults. Distinguishing features have been proposed for actual acute mixed-lineal leukemias having markers of mature stages of varying cell line differentiation from cryptic lineal-different-marker leukemias of bi- or polypotent precursor-cell origin.

Immunoperoxidase localization of monoclonal antibodies in sections of melanoma has been used to identify histological features which may be of prognostic importance in melanoma, in particular whether certain structures on melanoma cells may determine the degree and nature of lymphoid infiltrates and whether these may be related to prognosis. Monoclonal antibodies to lymphocyte subpopulations were used to identify and quantitate lymphoid infiltrates in 15 primary melanomas and 8 cutaneous metastases. These were correlated with histological features identified in routine sections. There was a wide variation in the numbers of mononuclear cells associated with both primary and metastatic melanoma. T cells and to a lesser extent macrophages accounted for the majority of the cells, B cells and natural killer (NK) cells for only 2% of the infiltrates. The Leu 3a (helper) T cell subpopulation predominated in primary tumours, OKT8 positive (suppressor/cytotoxic) cells in metastases. Infiltrates in which OKT8 cells predominated were associated with ulceration, a high mitotic rate and thick primary tumours. The converse applied to Leu 3a infiltrates. Infiltrates with a high proportion of Leu 3a positive cells tended to be associated with Thy-1 positive, DR antigen negative tumours. Thy-1 antigens were predominantly expressed on primary tumours and rarely on metastases whereas the converse applied to expression of the acute lymphoblastic leukemia antigen (CALLA) on melanoma cells. These findings suggest that certain melanoma antigens may be related to the nature of the lymphoid infiltrate associated with melanoma and possibly with the behaviour of the tumour in the host. They further suggest that identification of cell surface structures and lymphoid infiltrates by these techniques may be a valuable extension of routine histopathological assessment of prognosis in melanoma.

The expression of common acute lymphoblastic leukemia antigen (CALLA) on a human neuroblastoma cell line, SJ-N-CG, was demonstrated by indirect membrane immunofluorescence, complement-dependent cytotoxicity, and quantitative absorption, using two monoclonal antibodies (J-5 and BA-3) directed against CALLA. Immunoprecipitation of solubilized 125I-labeled membrane proteins from SJ-N-CG cells with J-5 antibody revealed a protein with a molecular weight of 100,000 as determined on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Morphological differentiation of SJ-N-CG cells could be induced in the presence of 2.0 mM dibutyryl adenosine 3'-5'-cyclic monophosphoric acid for 10 days of culture. Changes in cell surface membrane antigens associated with morphological differentiation were studied by indirect immunofluorescence and complement-dependent cytotoxicity using a panel of seven monoclonal antibodies. Increases in the antigens recognized by BA-2 (detecting leukemia-associated antigen), anti-Thy-1, and antibody 390 (Thy-1 antigen) were found in "differentiated cells," while those detected by BA-1 (B-cell-associated antigen) and J-5 (CALLA) were unchanged. In contrast, the antitransferrin receptor defined by B3/25 was inhibited, and expression of B7/21-defined la-like antigen was not induced. Kinetic studies on antigenic alterations showed that the expression of BA-2-defined antigen rose on Day 2 and remained at the same level until Day 10. The expression of CALLA was not changed from Days 2 to 10. The augmentation of Thy-1 antigen was noted on Day 4 and reached the maximum on Day 10. These results show that dibutyryl adenosine 3'-5'-cyclic monophosphoric acid is capable of inducing phenotypic changes in SJ-N-CG cells. The changes of expression of some antigens on exposure of cells to dibutyryl adenosine 3'-5'-cyclic monophosphoric acid may enable us to have a greater understanding of the differentiation of neuroblastoma to a more mature ganglioneuroblastoma phenotype.

Human Thy-1 is present on the surface of only a small proportion of haemopoietic cells (thymus--0.2-10%; bone marrow--0.1-0.5%). We have analysed these Thy-1+ cells in more detail using immunofluorescence on a wide range of human haemopoietic cell lines and fresh leukaemic blasts; both situations where rare cells can become clonally expanded. The data demonstrate that Thy-1 is confined to the early stages of T- and B-lymphocyte development, and is absent from all myeloid cells. The Thy-1+ B cells represent late pre-B (c mu+)/early sIgM+ B cells. The Thy-1+ T cells are situated in the outer thymic cortex. Dual immunofluorescence analysis of FACS separated Thy-1+ thymocytes shows them to have the antigenic phenotype and morphology of prothymocytes/early thymocytes (some overlap seen with CALLA, TdT, OKT6 and OKT1).

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.

Bone marrow blast cells of 174 child and 188 adult patients with AML were examined and characterized in terms of their FAB type, immunological phenotype (102 children, 123 adults) and karyotype (69 children, 95 adults). The incidence of FAB variants of AML proved similar in children and adults. In patients under 15 and over 60, peroxidase activity in myeloblasts was lower than in middle-aged patients. Similar rates of HLA-Dr. Thy-1, CD11a, T-cell antigens, CD19, Gly-A and Eb antigens were found in cells of child and adult patients. The frequency of CD11b, CD38 and CD10 antigen expression on blast cells was higher in children than in adults. Abnormal blast karyotype was noted in 81.8% of children and 73.7% of adults. Translocation (8;21) was usually found in cases of M2 type (82%), significantly more frequently in children. predominantly in the group aged 6-10. t(15;17) was detected in all age groups only in M3 type of cells (86%). t(9;22) occurred more frequently in adults than in children; t(11q23) incidence rates were somewhat higher in children than in adults. Three cases of AML in children are described with deletion of chromosome 5 in their leukaemic cells. The data obtained indicate different biological characteristics of blast cells in children and adults. It is likely that haemopoietic cell involvement in children under 2 years and adult patients over 60 occurs at earlier stages than in middle-aged patients.

Examinations of 174 children and 188 adult patients with acute nonlymphoblastic leukemia (ANLL) demonstrated a similar structure of distribution of ANLL FAB-variants in children and adults, although the incidence of M0 and M4 blasts was somewhat higher in infants aged under 2. In patients under 15 and over 60 peroxidase activity in myeloblasts was reliably lower than in the rest patients. HLA-Dr, Thy-1, CD11a, T-CD19, Gly-A, and Eb antigens were equally incident in the cells of children and adults. The expression of CD11b, CD38, and CD10 antigens on the blasts was higher in children than in adults. An abnormal blast karyotype was detected in 81.8% children and 73.7% adults. Translocation (8;21) was observed in patients with the M2 variant, as a rule (82%), and reliably more frequently in children; t(9;22) and t(11q23) occurred in children somewhat more frequently than in adults. A group of children with primary ANLL (n = 3) was distinguished for the first time, in whose cell karyotype a deletion of chromosome 5 was found. The findings indicate that the biological characteristics of blast cells differ in children and adults. Evidently, the level of hemopoiesis involvement in ANLL is earlier in infants under 2 and subjects over 60 than in the rest patients.

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.
