Phenotype of the hairy cells of leukemic reticuloendotheliosis defined by monoclonal antibodies. 1983

A J Janckila, and G T Stelzer, and J H Wallace, and L T Yam

Hairy cell populations of greater than 90 purity were prepared from six samples obtained from four patients with leukemic reticuloendotheliosis (LRE). These then were analyzed for surface immunoglobulin (SIg) and antigens specified by a panel of monoclonal antibodies. The hairy cells from all patients displayed SIg and antigens reactive with OKIa-1 and OKM-1 antibodies; these markers often were expressed simultaneously. T-cell-specific antigens were not displayed on the surface of hairy cells. The simultaneous expression of SIg and OKM-1 which ordinarily are unique for B cells or myeloid cells, respectively, suggests that hairy cells may represent an aberrant form of either cell type with defective regulation of antigen expression. It alternatively suggests the possibility that B cells and myeloid elements develop along a common pathway and that the hairy cell is a component of such a pathway.

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.

D005455 Fluorescent Antibody Technique Test for tissue antigen using either a direct method, by conjugation of antibody with fluorescent dye (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, DIRECT) or an indirect method, by formation of antigen-antibody complex which is then labeled with fluorescein-conjugated anti-immunoglobulin antibody (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, INDIRECT). The tissue is then examined by fluorescence microscopy.
