Rosette formation in acute lymphoid leukaemia. 1975

T Révész, and R Szigeti, and D Schuler

The capacity of leukaemic lymphoblasts and remission lymphocytes, obtained from 40 children with acute lymphoid leukaemia, to form sheep red blood cell rosettes was investigated. Lymphoblasts isolated from the peripheral blood of the patients prior to antileukaemic treatment showed greatly reduced numbers of rosette-forming cells as compared to controls (4.6% vs. 27.5%). The ratio of rosette-forming cells during intensive induction chemotherapy was still significantly lower than the control value (15.7%), while after the achievement of complete remission the number of RFC approximated the normal value (22.5%). The presence of leukaemic serum had no significant effect on the number of RFC.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007104 Immune Adherence Reaction A method for the detection of very small quantities of antibody in which the antigen-antibody-complement complex adheres to indicator cells, usually primate erythrocytes or nonprimate blood platelets. The reaction is dependent on the number of bound C3 molecules on the C3b receptor sites of the indicator cell.
