Expression of a myeloid marker on TdT-positive acute lymphocytic leukemic cells: evidence by double-fluorescence staining.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The expression of a myeloid-specific antigen was detected on TdT-positive blast cell populations in two cases of childhood acute lymphocytic leukemia. Double-fluorescence staining by using the monoclonal antibody, VIM-D5, which is specific for cells of myeloid origin, in combination with TdT antiserum revealed that a distinct portion of the blast cells carried both markers. The finding represents the first direct demonstration of this specific biphenotype in leukemic cells and was interpreted as the abnormal expression of a myeloid antigen on lymphoid blast cells.

In a case of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), the expression of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT), an early lymphoid marker, was detected. Double-fluorescent staining for the myeloid-specific antigens VIM-2 and VIM-D5 in combination with specific antiserum for TdT suggested a mixed leukemic cell population consisting of a morphologically, cytochemically, and immunologically promyel...

Extensive immunologic marker analysis was performed to characterize the various leukemic cell populations in eight patients with inv(16)(p13q22) in association with acute myeloid leukemia with abnormal bone marrow eosinophilia (AML-M4Eo). The eight AML cases consisted of heterogeneous cell populations; mainly due to the presence of multiple subpopulations, which varied in size between the patie...

Leukemias showing a conspicuous lymphoid phenotype, ie, those that are HLA-DR positive, common acute lymphoblastic antigen (cALLA) positive, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) negative, as well as myeloperoxidase positive (MPO), could be considered so-called mixed leukemias. Leukemias with biphenotypic blasts have to be distinguished from cases comprising two separate subpopulations th...

Cases of acute leukemia showing both terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activities are usually classified as acute myelogenous leukemia (AMI). Although some reports have implied overlap of TdT and MPO based on population percentages. direct evidence for simultaneous expression of TdT and MPO by a leukemic blast is lacking. By use of a simple new technique deve...
