Circulating stem cells with lympho-myeloid-erythroid differentiative capacity have been described in the peripheral blood of hairy cell leukemia (HCL) patients (Michalevicz R. & Revel M. (1987) Interferons regulate the in vitro differentiation of multilineage lympho-myeloid stem cells in Hairy Cell Leukemia. Proc. natn. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 84, 2307.) The aim of the present work was to enrich the progenitors and characterize their antigenic and growth properties. Peripheral blood (PB) from HCL patients was stained with antibodies (BI3C5 (CD34) and/or My10 as well as RFB7 (CD20) and RFT12 (CD7) and sorted using flow cytometry (FCM) into positive and negative fractions. Peripheral blood cells from several patients showed 4-16% cells positive for the BI3C5/My10. The positive fraction contained all the colony-forming cells and LGEM/LG/LGM colonies were enriched approximately ten-fold as compared to the unsorted population. No colony was found in the negative fraction. All colony forming cells were in the RFB7 and RFT12-negative fractions. Thus, circulating stem cells with lymphoid/myeloid potential can be isolated from PB of HCL patients.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007943	Leukemia, Hairy Cell	A neoplastic disease of the lymphoreticular cells which is considered to be a rare type of chronic leukemia; it is characterized by an insidious onset, splenomegaly, anemia, granulocytopenia, thrombocytopenia, little or no lymphadenopathy, and the presence of "hairy" or "flagellated" cells in the blood and bone marrow.

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.
