Infant leukemia cells with 46XY,t(11; 17)(q23; p13) karyotype and a hybrid pre B myeloid phenotype (HLA-DR, (Ia), B4 and My7-positive and CALLA and T11-negative) and immunoglobulin heavy chain gene rearrangement were maintained in long-term culture for over 10 months. The in-vitro survival and growth of the leukemia cells were strictly dependent upon the presence of their autologous marrow stromal cells. The latter could be replaced by the 14F1.1 clone of preadipocytes derived from mouse bone marrow. Neither heterologous human marrow or foreskin fibroblasts nor fibroblast or endothelial like cell lines from mouse stroma could mimic the effect of autologous stroma or 14F1.1 adipocytes. The leukemia cells maintained their original phenotype throughout the 10-month culture period with either their autologous stroma or the 14F1.1 adipocytes. They could be induced to differentiate in two distinct directions. Phorbol myristate acetate induced adherence of the leukemia cells and development of macrophage properties. In contrast, conditioned medium from a hybridoma producing B-cell growth factor caused aggregation of the leukemia cells and expression of CALLA antigen and surface IgM. This bipotency of the leukemia cells and their dependence upon marrow stroma are properties in common with stem cells.

D007231 Infant, Newborn An infant during the first 28 days after birth. Neonate,Newborns,Infants, Newborn,Neonates,Newborn,Newborn Infant,Newborn Infants
D007938 Leukemia A progressive, malignant disease of the blood-forming organs, characterized by distorted proliferation and development of leukocytes and their precursors in the blood and bone marrow. Leukemias were originally termed acute or chronic based on life expectancy but now are classified according to cellular maturity. Acute leukemias consist of predominately immature cells; chronic leukemias are composed of more mature cells.

D008858 Microscopy, Phase-Contrast A form of interference microscopy in which variations of the refracting index in the object are converted into variations of intensity in the image. This is achieved by the action of a phase plate. Phase-Contrast Microscopy,Microscopies, Phase-Contrast,Microscopy, Phase Contrast,Phase Contrast Microscopy,Phase-Contrast Microscopies
