Blast cells derived from blood and marrow samples of a patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), as well as from the Reh line originally established from an ALL patient, were cultured in diffusion chambers implanted i.p. into preirradiated CBA mice. At different intervals over a period of up to 20 days, surface immunoglobulins, ALL antigen, and T-cell antigen were investigated by using direct immunofluorescence. Rosette formation was tested with sheep and mouse erythrocytes. On day 0, the cells expressed only ALL antigen at the surface, and no rosette formation was observed. During culture, the patient's lymphoblasts, which originally had cytoplasmic IgM in addition to ALL antigen, expressed surface immunoglobulins as well as mouse erythrocyte receptors. The Reh line cells were ambivalent in two experiments developing T-cell antigens and sheep erythrocyte receptors as well as mouse erythrocyte receptors. Our data suggest that the differentiation arrest in leukemic lymphoblasts can be overcome, thus entailing a surface pattern similar to mature T- or B-lymphocytes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
