Expression of a non-T, non-B ALL associated antigen on leukemic cells, lymphoblastoid cell lines and normal blood cells. 1980

H Winterleitner

Two of our preparations of rabbit immune sera against Non-T, Non-B ALL cells were characterized. After a previously described absorption schedule used at present with some modifications, the sera were tested by indirect immunofluorescence and by a complement-dependent microcytotoxicity technique on a panel of cells: various types of ALL, lymphoblastoid cell lines of T, B and Non-T, Non-B surface characteristics, other leukemias (AML, CLL, Ph1 positive CML-BC), nonleukemic tissue of normal bone marrow, lymph-nodes and tonsils and also PBL. About 70% of Non-T, Non-B ALL, the Non-T, Non-B ALL line "REH" and CML cells in Ph1 positive "lymphoid" blast crisis were reactive in both test systems. Non-regenerating normal bone marrow, peripheral blood lymphocytes, and lymph node cells were non-reactive. CLL cells and tonsil cels, however, showed a positive fluorescence, yet gave a negative reaction in the complement-dependent microcytotoxicity test. This phenomenon might be explained by unspecific binding to Fc receptors. The antisera thus appear to detect a common Non-T, Non-B ALL antigen.

D001853 Bone Marrow The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells.
