The immunologic phenotype of the lymphocytes of 100 patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) was investigated. Peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) were examined in all cases; in 46 patients with lymphadenopathy, a lymph node was biopsied and the histologic and immunologic patterns were assessed: 24 had a lymphocytic-lymphoplasmocytoid histology and 22 the follicular variant of lymphocytic lymphoma (mantle zone lymphoma, MZL). For comparison, lymph node suspensions from 19 patients with non-leukemic centrocytic lymphoma (CCL) were also studied. Significant differences in the PBL immunologic features were found between stage O and stage I patients. The phenotype of the lymphocytes of patients with lymphocytic histology was similar to that of stage 0 CLL patients, whereas major differences were found between these patients and those with mantle zone histology. This enables these patients to be recognized easily on immunologic grounds.

D008198 Lymph Nodes They are oval or bean shaped bodies (1 - 30 mm in diameter) located along the lymphatic system. Lymph Node,Node, Lymph,Nodes, Lymph
D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS. Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell

D010641 Phenotype The outward appearance of the individual. It is the product of interactions between genes, and between the GENOTYPE and the environment. Phenotypes
D011947 Receptors, Antigen, B-Cell IMMUNOGLOBULINS on the surface of B-LYMPHOCYTES. Their MESSENGER RNA contains an EXON with a membrane spanning sequence, producing immunoglobulins in the form of type I transmembrane proteins as opposed to secreted immunoglobulins (ANTIBODIES) which do not contain the membrane spanning segment.
