The immunophenotype of 304 adult lymphoblastic leukemias (> 18 years) diagnosed on the basis of the FAB criteria was determined at the time of diagnosis using a panel of monoclonal antibodies. The series comprised cases diagnosed and immunophenotyped in 43 Italian centers (GIMEMA Cooperative Group) between April 1988 and June 1991. The immunophenotypic characterization consisted of two consecutive steps. The initial screening was based on the reactivity for TdT, HLA-Dr, CD7, CD10, CD13, CD19, CD24, CD33 and CD41. According to the results obtained, the second level of investigation assessed the positivity for intra cytoplasmic (Cy) Ig, CD1a, CD2, CD3, CD4, CD5, CD8 and CD20. Based on the hierarchical expression of the different B- and T-cell related antigens, each case was assigned to a given differentiation stage. B-lineage ALL were classified in five subgroups (B0-B4) and T-lineage ALL in four subgroups (T0-T3). Cases in which the blasts were lymphoid according to the FAB criteria, but expressed myeloid antigens in association with B- and T-lymphoid markers were defined as hybrid leukemias. As expected, CD10+ cases (B2-B3) were the most frequent within the B-lineage ALL (83.2% of cases). CyIg+ (B3) accounted for about 20% of CD10+ ALL. Twenty eight cases (13.4%) were at a pre-cALL stage (B0-B1) and of these, 8 (3.8% of the total series) were positive only for TdT and HLA-Dr (B0). Intermediate and mature thymic phenotypes (T2-T3) were predominant within the T-ALL (67.2%) groups. Five cases, were positive only for TdT and CD7 (CD5+), and classified as T0. 9.2% of cases fulfilled the definition of hybrid leukemia, largely in view of the co-expression of B-lymphoid and myeloid markers.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Cytologic, immunologic, and cytogenetic studies were performed on the blast cells of a newborn with Down syndrome and transient myeloproliferative disease. This hematologic disorder is uncommon, and occurs primarily in infants with Down syndrome. This boy presented with a high white blood cell count and a high percentage of blast cells, without anemia or thrombocytopenia. Chromosome analysis showed a constitutional trisomy 21 without any other clonal abnormality. A three-color flow cytometric analysis was performed and revealed two different CD45 dim, CD34(+), CD117(+), CD56(+) immature subpopulations: the normal immature myeloid precursor and an immature blast cell population that expressed CD41, CD42, CD61, CD36, CD13, CD1a, and CD2. We postulate that this population could be the leukemic precursor involved in the acute megakaryoblastic leukemia frequently observed in children with Down syndrome.

At the ISAC 2000 Congress, the Clinical Cytometry Society organized a meeting of international experts to reach consensus on the minimum number of antibodies required for a full evaluation of hematologic and lymphoid neoplasias. A questionnaire was distributed prior to the meeting to numerous experts from US and European institutions and 13 responses were received. At the meeting, 25 individuals, including most of those who returned responses, participated in the discussions and voted on the issues presented. In chronic lymphoproliferative disorders (CLD), 9 antibodies (anti-CD5, CD19, kappa, lambda, CD3, CD20, CD23, CD10, and CD45) were deemed essential for initial evaluation by 75% of the participants. There was near unanimity that additional markers (selected from CD22, FMC7, CD11c, CD103, CD38, CD25, CD79b and heavy chains for B-cell disorders, and CD4, CD7, CD8, CD2, CD56, CD16, TCRa/b, and TCRg/d for T-cell disorders) would be needed to fully characterize CLD, although not every marker would be useful in all cases. Tissue lymphomas were believed to be similar to CLD, needing a minimum of 12--16 markers. However, for some cases, CD30, bcl-2, TdT, CD71, CD1a, and CD34 were cited as useful by the participants. Markers mentioned for plasma cell disorders included kappa, lambda, CD38, CD45, CD56, CD19, CD20, CD138, and heavy chains. Of 17 voting participants, 16 agreed that between 5 to 8 markers would be essential reagents for plasma cell disorders. For acute leukemia (AL), 10 markers (CD10, CD19, CD13, CD33, CD34, CD45, CD7, CD14, CD3, and HLADR) were considered essential by 75% of participants for initial characterization of the leukemia lineage. Most (>75%) agreed that at least one more B (CD20, CD22, CD79a, IgM), T (CD1a, CD2, CD4, CD5, CD8), myeloid (CD11b, CD15, CD64, CD117, myeloperoxidase), erythroid (CD36, CD71, glycophorin A), and megakaryocytic (CD41, CD61) reagents should be included in the essential panel. However, there was no agreement as to which was optimal. Thus, approximately 13--15 of those reagents would be considered essential in all cases of AL, whereas others (CD16, CD56, CDw65, TdT, and cytoplasmic CD3) were mentioned as useful in some cases. Almost all voting participants believed that the appropriate number of markers for complete characterization of AL would average 20--24. The majority of the responders (11 of 13) indicated that fewer reagents could be used in monitoring or staging patients with previously characterized disease, but not all ventured a specific number of reagents. From the above results, we conclude that the phenotypic analysis of hematologic and lymphoid neoplasia requires a rather extensive panel of reagents. Supplementary reagents might even be necessary if they prove to become relevant for diagnostic purposes. Reducing the number of antibodies could significantly compromise the diagnostic accuracy, appropriate monitoring, or therapy of these disorders.

A panel of 380 commercially available monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against human CD molecules from various sources was tested during the 8th Human Leukocyte Differentiation Antigen Workshop (HLDA8) for cross-reactivity on canine peripheral blood leukocytes by flow cytometry. In addition, all mAbs were used to label a 50:50 mixture of platelets and erythrocytes of the same dogs. This testing resulted in 51 cross-reacting mAbs. mAbs with specificity for CD9, CD29, CD42a, CD61, and CD41/CD61 showed cross-reactivity with canine platelets in a non-polymorphic and one mAb with the erythrocyte antigen CD235a in a polymorphic reaction pattern. Canine leukocyte-reactive mAbs included those with specificity for CD11a, CD11b, CD14, CD18, CD21, CD22, CD47, CD49d, CD49e, CD56, CD62L, CD91, CD94, and CD172a. In addition, several mAbs resulted in a staining pattern of canine cells which suggest that the canine epitope equivalents have an alternate expression pattern from that expected for humans (CD1a, CD35, CD44, CD45, CD75s, CD81). In summary, this study confirmed the reactivity of previously described cross-reactive mAbs with canine cells and resulted in the characterization of mAbs recognizing so far undetectable canine CD molecules.

Three hundred and seventy six monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) raised against human leukocyte surface antigens were analyzed by flow cytometry for cross reactivities against mink leukocytes. We found 53 mAbs (14%) to cross react. This study defined cross reactions to the following human markers: CD1a, CD9 (4 mAbs), CD10, CD11a (2 mAbs), CD14 (3 mAbs), CD18 (5 mAbs), CD20 (atypical reaction), CD21, CD25 (atypical reaction), CD29 (3 mAbs), CD32, CD41, CD42a, CD44 (4 mAbs), CD45, CD45RO, CD47 (2 mAbs), CD49d (3 mAbs), CD61 (2 mAbs), CD62P, CD66abcd, CD71, CD75s, CD79b (2 mAbs), CD86, CD88, CD104 (atypical reaction), CD172a, CD236R (glycophorin C, (atypical reaction)), Xg(a) carbohydrate antigen, Rhesus antigen and two unspecified PAN-reactive mAbs. In order to characterize the molecular mass of the corresponding cross reacting mink markers, the mAbs were used to immunoprecipitate the surface antigens. Fourteen mAbs out of the 53 mAbs reactive with mink leukocytes gave reproducible IP findings. The masses of the precipitated antigens were generally in good agreement with those of the homologous human markers. We also performed immunohistochemical staining analyses on formalin fixed, paraffin embedded mink tissue from lymph node and spleen, and found 7 out of 22 mAbs to give a positive signal. Generally, the immunohistological analyses resulted in expected staining patterns.
