We report a case of Ph1-negative, bcr-negative CML-BC, in which the primary leukemic cells displayed T-related antigens (CD7, CD4) in addition to HLA-DR and CD25 determinants. No B-lymphoid, myeloid and megakaryoblastic surface antigens were detected. In spite of this phenotype, DNA analysis revealed a germ-line configuration of the T-cell receptor beta chain gene region. Moreover, in-vitro culture studies demonstrated a proliferative response of the blast cell population to natural and recombinant myeloid-related factors, while no proliferative signal was observed in the presence of IL-2. The myeloid lineage was further demonstrated by the expression of myeloid-associated antigens on cultured blast cells, which still retained the CD7 antigen. Finally, cytogenetic analysis revealed a monosomy 7 which is usually associated with a stem cell leukemia. These results support the hypothesis that Ph1-negative, bcr-negative CML is characterized by the involvement of a multipotent stem cell capable of multilineage expression and indicate that differentiative and proliferative assays provide a further tool towards a more precise recognition of hematological disorders of uncertain origin.
