Results are presented showing the use of bispecific F(ab')2 antibodies (bsAbs) in the delivery of saporin for the treatment of 2 human B-cell malignancies. BsAbs delivering saporin through CD22, but not through CD19, were effective at inhibiting the uptake of [3H]leucine by Daudi and Raji cells. Furthermore, a combination of 2 anti-CD22 bsAbs, selected to bind simultaneously to saporin, bound saporin 20 times more avidly and inhibited protein synthesis far more efficiently than any single bsAb. In the first patient, with end-stage chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL), treatment with 10 mg of saporin complexed to 100 mg of anti-CD19 bsAb over 43 days showed no therapeutic effect. In contrast, the second patient, with end-stage non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), given 5 mg of saporin complexed with a pair (50 mg) of anti-CD22 bsAbs over 15 days showed a marked clinical response, including complete clearance of tumour from the blood, clearance of ascites and shrinkage of tumour masses. Neither patient experienced any toxic side-effects, either during or after treatment. However, the second patient developed a strong anti-mouse Fab (HAMA) response 28 days after the treatment started. No anti-saporin response could be detected.

Little is known about the role of tumor infiltrating T lymphocytes (TIL-T) in the pathogenesis of malignant diseases and collaboration between normal and malignant cells has not yet been proved. In the present work, we have investigated whether immune T lymphocytes exist in tumors invaded by B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) or Hodgkin's disease (HD). Therefore, we have studied the reactivity of the CD45RA monoclonal antibody, which discriminates between naive and memory CD4 T lymphocytes. Our results showed far lower percentages of CD4+ CD45RA+ in malignant lymphoma (30.3 +/- 15.0% in B-cell NHL, and 37.4 +/- 18.6% in HD) than in reactive hyperplasia (54.7 +/- 13.2%), leading to the conclusion of an accumulation of immune cells in tumor microenvironment. A further heterogeneity in the relative proportion of naive and memory TIL-T was also observed within lymphoma (range: 11 to 68% in B-cell NHL, 5 to 69% in HD). In B-cell NHL, it was related to histological features, as documented by the Kiel classification (P = .028), and to a stronger extent to cytological characteristics analysed with the Grenoble classification (P less than .0001): class 1 NHL, which are essentially indolent NHL displayed lower naive cells (22.2 +/- 7.4%) than class 3 NHL, which are more aggressive (40.1 +/- 16.1%). Among the monoclonal antibodies (mAb) defining the B-cell clone phenotype or activation state (CD19, CD20, CD21, CD22, CD23, CD24, CD5, CD10, CD11a, and Ki67), only CD23 (P = .0003) and Ki67 (P = .0007) revealed statistical association with the percentage of naive CD4 lymphocytes. No correlation could be demonstrated with the proportion of whole TIL-T, activated CD3 DR TIL-T, or CD4 subset.

The case is described of a 62-year-old man with a 10-year history of hairy cell leukemia (HCL) who subsequently had a large-cell anaplastic or so-called Ki-1-positive lymphoma. Immunocytochemical staining of the lymphomatous node revealed positivity for Ki-1 (CD30) and epithelial membrane antigen in the tumor cells, and flow cytometric analysis showed simultaneous expression of Leu M5 (CD11c) and Leu 14 (CD22). Although HCL has been reported to coexist with both Hodgkin's disease and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, the authors believe this is the first case in which a Ki-1-positive lymphoma developed in a patient with HCL. The clinicopathologic and immunologic features of both entities are discussed, as is the association of HCL with other neoplasms.

Detailed immunophenotypic analyses of immunologically classified leukemias and lymphomas showed that CD40 displays an exquisite B-lineage specificity within the human lymphopoietic system. Notably, 82% of B-lineage chronic lymphocytic leukemias (CLLs), 82% of B-lineage hairy cell leukemias (HCLs), 86% of B-lineage non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHLs), and 29% of B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemias (ALLs) were CD40+. Quantitative analyses of the correlated expression of CD40 and other B-lineage differentiation antigens on fetal lymphoid precursor cells by multiparameter two-color/three-color flow cytometry, combined with analyses of sequential antigen expression on fluorescence-activated cell fluorescence activated cell sorter (FACS) isolated immunologically distinct fetal B-cell precursor subpopulations during in vitro proliferation and differentiation, provided evidence that the acquisition of CD40 antigen in human B-cell ontogeny occurs subsequent to the expression of CD10 and CD19 antigens but before the surface expression of CD20, CD21, CD22, CD24, and surface immunoglobulin M (sIgM). Some leukemic pro-B cells from ALL patients as well as normal pro-B cell clones from fetal livers displaying germline Ig heavy chain genes were CD40+, indicating that the acquisition of CD40 antigen likely precedes the rearrangement of Ig heavy chain genes. CD40+ FACS-sorted malignant cells from B-lineage ALL as well as B-lineage NHL patients were capable of in vitro clonogenic growth, indicating the CD40 antigen is expressed on clonogenic leukemia and lymphoma cells. This hypothesis was confirmed by the ability of an anti-CD40 immunotoxin that we used as an antigen-specific cytotoxic probe to effectively kill clonogenic B-lineage ALL and NHL cells.

Fifteen patients with refractory B-cell lymphoma were treated in a Phase I dose escalation clinical trial with a highly potent immunotoxin consisting of the Fab' fragment of a monoclonal anti-CD22 antibody (RFB4) coupled to chemically deglycosylated ricin A chain. All patients had low, intermediate, or high grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The immunotoxin was administered i.v. in two to six doses at 48-h intervals. The peak serum concentration and the t1/2 were not dose dependent among patients and averaged 1.3 micrograms/ml and 86 min, respectively. Three patients made antibody against A chain, and a fourth made antibody against both A chain and mouse immunoglobulin. Antibody responses were low (less than or equal to 85 micrograms/ml) in three patients and were not detected until 1 mo after treatment. The maximum tolerated dose of the immunotoxin was 75 mg/m2. Dose-related toxicities included vascular leak syndrome, fever, anorexia, and myalgia. Dose-limiting toxicities included pulmonary edema and/or effusion, expressive aphasia, and rhabdomyolysis (resulting in reversible kidney failure). There was no evidence of liver dysfunction. Partial responses were achieved in 38% of evaluable patients, and in those patients who had greater than 50% CD22+ tumor cells, 50% of the patients achieved a partial response. Clinical responses were not related to tumor grade and were generally transient, lasting between 1 and 4 mo.

The monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) CD22 and CD11c recognize B-lymphocyte- and monocyte-associated antigens, respectively. Reports indicate that when these two MoAbs co-express, they represent a unique marker for hairy cell leukemia (HCL) although neither is specific for that disease. The authors evaluated the expression and diagnostic utility of CD22 and CD11C in specimens from 26 normal subjects, 29 patients, with various nonlymphoproliferative disorders (NLPDs), and 75 patients with different types of chronic lymphoproliferative disorders (CLDs) using two-color flow cytometric analysis of peripheral blood lymphocytes. Lymphocytes co-expressed CD22 and CD11c in less than or equal to 3% of the normal subjects and in less than or equal to 6% of the patients with NLPDs. These markers were expressed in greater than 10% of the lymphocytes of 46% (32/69) of the patients with B-cell CLDs: B-cell chronic-lymphocytic leukemia, 9/41; B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, 8/14; HCL, 11/11; B-cell lymphoproliferative disorder (NOS), 1/2; and B-cell prolymphocytic leukemia, 1/1. None (0/6) of the lymphocytes of patients with T-cell CLDs expressed greater than 10% CD22-positive (CD22+) or CD11c-positive (CD11c+) cells. The HCL cases demonstrated a unique CD22+CD11c+ fluorescence histogram pattern, distinct from other lymphoproliferative disorders, that was characterized by uniformly intense CD11c and CD22 fluorescence. Differences in the expression of the CD22+CD11C- and CD22+CD11C+ phenotypes between diagnostic groups were found, most notable was a paucity of CD22+CD11c+ cells in lymphocytes of patients with HCL. CD22 also had more variable expression than CD19 and HLA-DR in the cases of B-cell CLD. This study demonstrates that the CD22+CD11c+ phenotype is not unique to HCL but is a consistent feature of that disorder and that the immunofluorescence pattern of co-expression in HCL is diagnostically useful.

FMC7, a monoclonal antibody used extensively to characterize B cell leukaemias of differentiated phenotype (prolymphocytic, hairy cell, and similar leukaemias) was compared directly with antibodies of the CD22 cluster, which also react with B cells at a late stage in differentiation. Detailed comparison shows that the reaction spectrum, though similar, is not identical. Differences were particularly prominent in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Binding studies show that the antibodies react with different antigenic determinants, and immunochemical studies show that they react with different molecules. The FMC7 antigen, not previously characterized, was shown to be a protein of apparent molecular weight 105,000, by immunoblotting after electrophoresis of membrane extracts.

In an attempt to establish whether extended immuno-phenotyping allows more accurate definition of subgroups of B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) we have stained a series of 145 cases with a large panel of monoclonal antibodies that recognize B-cell differentiation and activation antigens. No antigen was expressed by all cases. The B-cell histogenesis in many cases could be confirmed only by using a panel of immunoglobulin and pan B-cell markers. There was marked phenotypic heterogeneity within and between major groups of B-cell NHL as delineated by the Kiel classification although the differentiation antigens CD5 (lymphocytic and centrocytic NHL) and OKT10 (plasma cell tumours) were more often expressed by certain morphological groups. The activation antigens 4F2 and transferrin receptor were expressed more strongly and more often by high grade NHL but other activation antigens (CD23 and CD25) were not more frequently associated with these tumours. Extended phenotyping may be of value in improving the understanding of biological abnormalities and processes involved in B-cell NHL, but we conclude that a limited panel of markers (CD3, CD5, CD22, CD45, IgM, kappa, and lambda) should be sufficient for routine diagnosis and classification of most cases.

The value of 67Ga citrate scanning as a transferrin receptor agent was compared in this study with a 99mTc-labeled anti-CD22 (B-cell) Fab' fragment (LL2) in patients with low- and high-grade B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Thirteen patients with histologically confirmed NHL were examined prospectively with both radiopharmaceuticals within 8 days. The results of immunoscintigraphy were compared with those of 67Ga scanning and the clinical and radiological workup (computed tomography, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging) of the patients. The overall sensitivity of 67Ga citrate and 99mTc-labeled LL2 fragment was each 80% in a total of 43 lesions. Low-grade lymphoma patients had a higher sensitivity in LL2 imaging (82% versus 71%), and high-grade lymphoma patients in 67Ga citrate scanning (100% versus 75%). The target:background ratio in low-grade NHL for LL2 was 1.43 +/- 0.3:1 versus 1.8 +/- 0.5:1 in 67Ga scans; in high-grade NHL, 1.49 +/- 0.35:1 versus 2.2 +/- 0.8:1, respectively. Single-photon emission computed tomography imaging was necessary in 21.7% of the patients 4 h after injection to localize the lesions. In conclusion, the overall sensitivity of 99mTc-labeled LL2 is comparable to 67Ga citrate scanning in patients with B-cell NHL. 99mTc-labeled LL2 antibodies are rapid to use, are safe, and need a shorter imaging time (24 h versus 72 h). Because of these advantages, 99mTc-labeled LL2 may be superior to 67Ga scanning for the staging of lymphoma patients.

LL2 is a murine IgG2a anti-CD22 monoclonal antibody found to react with virtually all non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHLs). Twenty-one patients with chemotherapy-resistant NHL received nonmyeloablative doses of 131I-labeled LL2 IgG and F(ab')2 ranging from 15 to 343 mCi given in cycles of 15-50 mCi, for up to seven treatment cycles. The cumulative protein dose ranged from 1.1 mg IgG to 157 mg F(ab')2. Seventeen patients were assessable for treatment response, and antitumor effects were seen in five (one complete remission, two partial remissions, and two minor or mixed responses). In addition, one complete response was seen in a patient who received only "diagnostic" doses of 131I-LL2 IgG. Thus, a total of six patients had responses according to the defined response criteria. Three additional patients have been treated with potentially myeloablative doses of 131I-LL2 IgG at a starting dose level of 90 mCi/m2 (100 mg). Two patients were evaluable, and both had partial remissions lasting 8 and 3 months, respectively. Chimeric and complementarity-determining region-grafted LL2 have been developed. Initial clinical studies have shown that these agents have targeting properties similar to the murine LL2 and, therefore, may be suitable alternatives to murine LL2 in the treatment of NHL. LL2 is a promising agent for the treatment of lymphoma, particularly when the maximum tolerated dose is given either with or without autologous bone marrow transplantation.
