Acute lymphoblastic leukemia with pre-B-cell characteristics. 1979

J C Brouet, and J L Preud'homme, and C Penit, and F Valensi, and P Rouget, and M Seligmann

Blast cells from 6 of 50 patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) displayed intracytoplasmic mu chains in the absence of detectable light chains and surface immunoglobulins. These cells also expressed lalike and common ALL antigens. Terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase was detectable in 2 of 5 cases tested. These blast cells are probably related to early B-cell precursors (pre-B cells). In 4 of 6 cases the disease had a tumoral presentation; the prognostic significance of this new subgroup, which accounts for 20% of patients with non-T non-B ALL, remains to be established.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007148 Immunoglobulin mu-Chains The class of heavy chains found in IMMUNOGLOBULIN M. They have a molecular weight of approximately 72 kDa and they contain about 57 amino acid residues arranged in five domains and have more oligosaccharide branches and a higher carbohydrate content than the heavy chains of IMMUNOGLOBULIN G.
