We have noted what other preliminary reports have also described as a new specificity of the MY4 monoclonal antibody from Coulter Immunology which previously was designated to only have myelogenous CD14 specificity. The MY4 marker appears to characterize a subpopulation of some B-lymphocytic malignancies that are CD19, CD20, surface immunoglobulin as well as MY4 positive. The results occurred when other myelogenous markers such as CD11b, CD13 and CD33 were unreactive. Another monoclonal antibody marker of CD14 specificity, MO2, did not demonstrate a similar reactivity. Various other monoclonal antibodies of the same IgGI subclass as MY4 were also not reactive and thereby excludes non-specific adsorption as an explanation of the results. The six patients described in this report represented five non-Hodgkin's lymphoma cases and one chronic lymphocytic leukemia case. Fifteen B-lymphocytic leukemias and 30 other B-lymphocytic non-Hodgkin's lymphomas analysed during the same period were not MY4 positive. In reviewing the clinical course of the six patients compared to the general behavior of these types of malignancies and making a speculative generalization from the small group of cases, the MY4 antigen appeared to be expressed by low to intermediate grade B-lymphocytic malignancies of a type that were more rapidly progressive and/or had a greater tendency to undergo a transformation of their malignancy. Two of the three transformed cases were proceeded by chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

A case of chemotherapy-resistant non-Hodgkin's lymphoma simultaneously expressing T cell (CD7)-, B cell (CD19)- and myeloid (CD13, CD33)-associated surface antigens is presented. Cytochemical analysis revealed that the lymphoma cells were positive for terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase, but negative for myeloperoxidase and esterase. Rearrangements of both the T cell receptor beta chain and gamma chain genes were observed, but the immunoglobulin genes showed a germ line configuration. The rearrangement was not detected within the breakpoint cluster region on chromosome 22. These findings are considered to represent aberrant expressions of the B cell- and myeloid-associated antigens in early-stage T cell lineage lymphoma cells.

G-CSF and GM-CSF enhance the rate of neutrophil engraftment in autologous bone marrow transplantation (ABMT) without significantly affecting platelet engraftment. Peripheral blood progenitor cells (PBPC) may enhance rates of engraftment of both neutrophils and platelets. We treated 49 patients undergoing ABMT with a course of G-CSF to obtain PBPC and infused these cells post-transplant with G-CSF in an attempt to determine factors which might correlate with enhanced BM engraftment. Forty-nine patients with Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma or breast cancer undergoing unpurged ABMT were studied. G-CSF priming consisted of an outpatient 8 day course of 5 micrograms/kg/day followed by three leukaphereses (on day 5, 7 and 8) to collect PBPC. Patients then received a chemotherapeutic BMT preparative regimen followed by an infusion of PBPC, autologous BM and the reinstitution of G-CSF (16 micrograms/kg/day). BM engraftment was rapid. The median time to achieve 0.5 x 10(9)/l neutrophils was 10 days compared with a historical BMT control patient population receiving the same preparative regimens of 19 days (p = 0.001). Time to achieve a platelet count of 20 x 10(9)/l was 16 days compared with a historical control of 22 days (p = 0.001). Neutrophil engraftment occurred in all patients by day +14. Marrow engraftment correlated with the total number of CD34+ cells infused as well as the total number of mononuclear cells infused but not the total number of CD34+/CD33- cells infused. The amount of total blood volume pheresed significantly correlated with yield of total mononuclear cells. Prior exposure to radiation therapy negatively correlated with progenitor cell yield.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

This report summarizes our results of sequential treatment with IL-3 and GM-CSF following high-dose chemotherapy with respect to the yield and composition of peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC). Eight patients with high-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma were included in the study. Starting 24 h after high-dose cytosine arabinoside (Ara C)/mitoxantrone, IL-3 was given for 6 days, followed by GM-CSF. The increase of circulating hematopoietic progenitor cells during leukocyte recovery varied substantially from patient to patient. Up to a 22-fold interindividual difference was observed for the peak levels of CD34+ cells. A special focus of our study was the antigenic profile of the CD34+ PBSC. On analysis of the antigenic profile of the CD34+ cells, the proportion of CD34+/HLA-DR- and CD34+/CD38- cells representing non-committed hematopoietic stem cells was consistently < 5%. The vast majority of CD34+ cells was found to coexpress CD33 (86.3 +/- 2.1%, mean +/- SEM), reflecting myeloid lineage commitment. CD71 antigen was present on 47.4 +/- 3.0% CD34+ cells with two populations (CD71dim/bright), while the percentage of early B lymphoid (CD34+/CD19+) progenitor cells was extremely low (0.38 +/- 0.13%). We therefore conclude that the cytokines currently available such as G-CSF, GM-CSF or IL-3 facilitate an ontogenetic phenomenon supporting the redistribution of hematopoietic progenitor cells after cytotoxic treatment. Six patients were autografted with the IL-3/GM-CSF-exposed blood stem cells following high-dose conditioning therapy. It is worth noting that no additional BM or hematopoietic growth factors were given post-transplantation.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

From September 1992 to January 1994, we evaluated the use of the CEPRATE SC stem cell concentrator (CellPro, Inc, Bothell, WA) to select CD34+ cells from the bone marrow (BM) of 25 patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in complete remission. This system uses the biotinylated 12.8 IgM MoAb to select CD34+ cells. Cells are retained on an avidin column and detached by agitation. Fifteen patients have been transplanted with the CD34+ purified fraction. The CD34+ purified fraction of the 25 processed BMs contained a median of 0.54% of the original nucleated cells in a volume of 5 to 10 mL. The median concentration of CD34+ cells was 49% (range, 12% to 80%), and the median enrichment of CD34+ cells was 33-fold (range, 9- to 85-fold). This selected CD34+ fraction retained 60% (range, 15% to 95%) of late granulocyte-macrophage colony-forming units (CFU-GM), 55% (range, 12% to 99%) of early CFU-GM, and 31% (range, 2% to 100%) erythroid burst-forming units (BFU-E) corresponding to median enrichments of 22-fold (range, 1- to 71-fold), 19-fold (range, 2- to 58-fold), and 14-fold (range, 2- to 200-fold), respectively. There was a correlation between immune phenotypes and progenitor cells. In the initial buffy-coat fractions, the percentage of CD34+ cells was correlated to the cloning efficiency of both late CFU-GM (P < .05) and early CFU-GM (P < .001). In the final selected fraction, there was a correlation between the percentage of CD34+/CD33- and the cloning efficiency of early CFU-GM (P < .05) and between the percentage of CD34+/CD33+ and the cloning efficiency of late CFU-GM (P < .05). Lymphoma cells positive for t(14; 18) were found by polymerase chain reaction in 9 of 14 buffy coats tested before CD34+ cell purification. In 8 cases, the CD34(+)-selected fraction was found to be negative, and the CD34- fraction was found to be positive. After cryopreservation, the recoveries of progenitor cells in the CD34(+)-purified fraction were 79% for late CFU-GM, 71% for early CFU-GM, and 73% for BFU-E. The 15 patients transplanted with the concentrated CD34+ fraction received a median dose of 1 x 10(6) CD34+ cells/kg (range, 0.3 to 2.96) and 10.62 x 10(4) early CFU-GM/kg (range, 0.92 to 25.55). Median days to recovery to 0.5 x 10(9)/L neutrophils and 50 x 10(9)/L platelets were days 15 (range, 10 to 33) and 23 (range, 11 to 68), respectively.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Peripheral blood progenitor cells (PBPC) can be mobilized using cytotoxic chemotherapy and cytokines. There is a substantial variability in the yield of hematopoietic progenitor cells between patients. We were looking for predictive parameters indicating a patient's response to a given mobilization regimen. Multiparameter flow-cytometry analysis and clonogenic assays were used to examine the hematopoietic progenitor cells in bone marrow (BM) and peripheral blood (PB) before filgrastim (R-metHuG-CSF; Amgen, Thousand Oaks, CA)-supported chemotherapy and in PB and leukapheresis products (LPs) in the recovery phase. Fifteen patients (four with high-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma [NHL], two with low-grade NHL, two with Hodgkin's disease, two with multiple myeloma, three with breast cancer, one with ovarian cancer, and one with germ cell tumor) were included in this study. The comparison of immunofluorescence plots showed a homogenous population of strongly CD34+ cells in steady-state and mobilized PB whereas in steady-state BM, the CD34+ cells ranged from strongly positive with continuous transition to the CD34- population. Consistent with the similarity in CD34 antigen expression, a correlation analysis showed steady-state PB CD34+ cells (r = .81, P < .001) and colony-forming cells (CFCs; r = .69, P < .01) to be a measure of a patient's mobilizable CD34+ cell pool. Individual estimates of progenitor cell yields could be calculated. With a probability of 95%, eg, 0.4 steady-state PB CD34+ cells x 10(6)/L allowed to collect in six LPs 2.5 x 10(6) CD34+ cells/kg, the reported threshold-dose of progenitor cells required for rapid and sustained engraftment after high-dose therapy. For the total steady-state BM CD34+ cell population, a weak correlation (r = .57, P < .05) with the mobilized CD34+ cells only became apparent when an outlier was removed from the analysis. Neither the CD34+ immunologic subgroups defined by the coexpression of the myeloid lineage-associated antigens CD33 or CD45-RA or the phenotypically primitive CD34+/HLA-DR- subset nor the BM CFC count had a predictive value for the mobilization outcome. This may be caused by the additional presence of maturing progenitor cells in BM, which express lower levels of the CD34 antigen and do not circulate. Our results permit us to recognize patients who are at risk to collect low numbers of progenitor cells and those who are likely to achieve sufficient or high progenitor cell yields even before mobilization chemotherapy is administered.

Peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) from 15 patients with advanced non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), two patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and two patients with myeloma were collected by continuous-flow leukapheresis after chemotherapy with MIV (mitoxantrone, ifosfamide, and etoposide, five patients) or high-dose cyclophosphamide (14 patients), followed by administration of GM-CSF. Sixteen patients (84%) had persistent marrow involvement at time of inclusion. Results were compared to those obtained in a control group of similar age and disease status in whom collection had been performed after MIV chemotherapy alone. The number of mononuclear cells, granulocyte-macrophage colony-forming units (CFU-GM), CD34+ cells were higher in GM-CSF treated patients with a lower mean number of leukapheresis (3.5 versus 6.4). Among the 19 patients harvested after chemotherapy plus GM-CSF, more progenitor cells were obtained in the cyclophosphamide group than in the MIV group. In all these patients except one, the number of mononuclear cells was sufficient to realize a transplantation. Seventeen patients received intensification with BEAM regimen (8 patients) or cyclophosphamide plus etoposide and total body irradiation (9 patients). Two patients failed to reconstitute correct hematopoiesis and three early toxic deaths occurred for a total of five procedure-related deaths. Nine of these 17 patients are in persistent complete remission with a median post-transplant follow-up of 18 months. Time to reach granulocyte and platelet recovery was not correlated with the number of mononuclear cells, CFU-GM, granulocyte-erythroid-macrophage-megakaryocyte colony-forming units (CFU-GEMM), CD34+ cells, and CD34+ CD33- cells but with the number of previous chemotherapy regimens. PBSC harvesting is achievable after chemotherapy plus GM-CSF in heavily pretreated patients with persistent marrow involvement. Moreover, these cells are able to reconstitute correct hematopoiesis after intensive treatment in these patients.

We report the establishment of a novel cell line from a pediatric patient with recurrent non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. This cell line, termed USP-91, showed both T-lymphoid cell as well as myeloid (ie, nonlymphoid) cell characteristics using a comprehensive multiparameter approach. The initial growth of this cell line was dependent on the presence of the murine stromal cell line, 14F1.1. Subsequently, a phenotypically stable, stroma-independent cell line was established. Although the recurrent biopsy material and the derivative cell line, USP-91, were clonally-derived from T-lineage lymphoid cells, as evidenced by the same rearrangement of the T-cell receptor-beta locus, USP-91 coexpressed both the T-cell antigens CD7, CD3, and CD4, and the myeloid antigens CD13, CD33, CD11b, and CD34. The myeloid features of USP-91 were most consistent with monocytic differentiation as these cells expressed alpha-napthol acetate esterase, lysozyme, alpha-1-antitrypsin, alpha-1-antichymotrypsin, as well as the cell surface receptor for macrophage colony-stimulating factor. In addition, incubation in the presence of phorbol esters induced USP-91 to exhibit morphologic and functional properties of mature mononuclear phagocytes. The expression of this bilineage phenotype suggests that USP-91 represents the malignant transformation of a progenitor cell capable of either myelomonocytic or T-lymphoid differentiation.

We report a patient with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) presenting with generalized lymphadenopathy, clinically stimulating aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. This patient presented with anemia and bulky lymphadenopathy in the oropharyngeal (Waldeyer's ring), submandibular, supraclavicular and inguinal nodal regions. Lymph node biopsy was initially suggestive of a T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma, based on morphologic features together with positive immunohistochemical staining for CD7 and CD43 (Leu 22). Definitive diagnosis of AML was established when a more detailed immunophenotypic analysis showed expression of the myeloid markers CD13 and CD33, and by the demonstration of rare Auer rods and positive peroxidase staining in bone marrow blast cells. Although this is a rare presentation, AML must always be considered in the clinical and pathologic differential diagnosis of aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

The authors examined the expression of myeloid antigens (MyAg): CD11b, CD13, CD14, CD15, and CD33 in 249 adults with lymphoid neoplasms using flow cytometric analysis. In this study, acute leukemia that was myeloperoxidase negative by light microscopy and had at least one lymphoid antigen was defined as acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The patients were classified as follows: 6 with unclassified ALL, 35 early B precursor ALL, 32 T-ALL, 25 B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) and its variants, 24 B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (B-NHL), 7 plasma cell disorders, 8 T-CLL, 2 adult T-cell leukemia, and 10 T-NHL. CD11b and CD15 were present in a wide range of lymphoid disorders irrespective of B/T lineage and maturity. Unclassified ALL and phenotypically immature ALL frequently expressed CD13 and CD33, and occasionally expressed CD14. Among early B precursor ALL, CD13, and/or CD33 were significantly associated with the presence of stem cell marker CD34 and the chromosomal abnormality t(9;22). In addition, ALL with deletion of chromosome 7 commonly expressed CD13 and CD33. Taken together, CD13 and/or CD33 positive ALL may originate from a multipotential stem cell. Among mature neoplasms, CD14 was frequently, and CD13 and CD33 were occasionally expressed in B-cell, but not T-cell tumors. These results suggest that CD13, CD14, and CD33 are preferentially expressed in two types of lymphoid neoplasms, namely undifferentiated ALL and mature B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders.
