Pre-T cell lineage of hand-mirror cells in acute lymphoblastic leukemia. 1981

B Shohat, and Y Sidi, and Y Hermoni, and M Shaklai, and J Pinkhas, and A L Goldstein

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia was observed in a 64-year-old male patient with 50-80% hand-mirror cells in the peripheral blood and in the bone marrow. Immunologic surface marker tests indicated that the cells were non-T non-B lymphocytes; however, the addition of thymosin (fraction V) to the bone marrow cells induced the capability of mounting a positive local xenogeneic graft-versus-host reaction (GVHR), demonstrating the pre-T-cell lineage of the hand-mirror cells in this patient.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
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. Marrow,Red Marrow,Yellow Marrow,Marrow, Bone,Marrow, Red,Marrow, Yellow
D002454 Cell Differentiation Progressive restriction of the developmental potential and increasing specialization of function that leads to the formation of specialized cells, tissues, and organs. Differentiation, Cell,Cell Differentiations,Differentiations, Cell
D002471 Cell Transformation, Neoplastic Cell changes manifested by escape from control mechanisms, increased growth potential, alterations in the cell surface, karyotypic abnormalities, morphological and biochemical deviations from the norm, and other attributes conferring the ability to invade, metastasize, and kill.

D006087 Graft vs Host Reaction An immunological attack mounted by a graft against the host because of HISTOINCOMPATIBILITY when immunologically competent cells are transplanted to an immunologically incompetent host; the resulting clinical picture is that of GRAFT VS HOST DISEASE.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D012397 Rosette Formation The in vitro formation of clusters consisting of a cell (usually a lymphocyte) surrounded by antigenic cells or antigen-bearing particles (usually erythrocytes, which may or may not be coated with antibody or antibody and complement). The rosette-forming cell may be an antibody-forming cell, a memory cell, a T-cell, a cell bearing surface cytophilic antibodies, or a monocyte possessing Fc receptors. Rosette formation can be used to identify specific populations of these cells. Immunocytoadherence,Formation, Rosette,Formations, Rosette,Immunocytoadherences,Rosette Formations
