The expression of the myeloid differentiation antigen CD14 on the B lineage was analyzed. A CD14-specific monoclonal antibody was used to isolate the antigen from normal B, B-type chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells, and a representative Epstein-Barr virus-transformed B lymphoblastoid cell line (EBVLCL). A soluble form of this protein was detected in the culture supernatant of all the B cell types tested. The molecule expressed in the normal B and B-type chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells was identical in size to the 52,000 mol. wt monocyte-isolated CD14 glycoprotein. A 64,000 mol. wt antigen was isolated from the lymphoblastoid cell line. Similar 2-D gel electrophoretic patterns to that of the monocyte-derived CD14 were obtained from the normal B and B-type chronic lymphocytic leukemia cell-isolated molecules. These similarities were reflected in minor isoelectric point (pI) differences between the polypeptide spots (pI 4.8), in the first dimension, and identical molecular weight (52,000) in the second dimension. The EBVLCL-isolated polypeptide, when analyzed by 2-D gel electrophoresis, showed a pI identical to that of the myeloid antigen (pI 4.6). The isolated soluble form was of smaller (47,000 mol. wt, normal B and B-type chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells) or similar size (64,000 mol. wt, lymphoblastoid cell line) compared with their corresponding membrane-bound forms. Interestingly, two-colour immunofluorescence analysis showed that only two out of four CD14-specific mAb tested bound to the B cells. We conclude that the CD14 antigen is, in fact, expressed in the B lineage. Its cell surface expression and serum level in the prognosis of B-type chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients needs to be evaluated.

D005434 Flow Cytometry Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.
