The clonal proliferation of large granular lymphocytes can be detected in patients with T-cell-lineage granular lymphocyte-proliferative disorders (T-GLPD) by Southern blotting T-cell receptor genes. However, this cannot be applied to patients with natural killer-cell-lineage GLPD (NK-GLPD) as it lacks a clonal marker. We therefore investigated the use of two other diagnostic techniques in evaluating clonal proliferation in Japanese patients with NK-GLPD (n = 4) and T-GLPD (n = 3) by chromosomal analysis of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) stimulated with either interleukin-2 or phytohaemagglutinin, and Epstein-Barr viral (EBV) genomic DNA analysis. Chromosomal analysis revealed abnormal karyotypes in the PBMC of three of four patients with NK-GLPD, whereas EBV analysis showed a monoclonal terminal configuration in the PBMC in the fourth patient. Southern blots revealed rearrangements of the TCR genes in all three patients with T-GLPD but in none of those with NK-GLPD. It is suggested that these methods may be useful in detecting the abnormal proliferation of large granular lymphocytes in NK-GLPD.

D007694 Killer Cells, Natural Bone marrow-derived lymphocytes that possess cytotoxic properties, classically directed against transformed and virus-infected cells. Unlike T CELLS; and B CELLS; NK CELLS are not antigen specific. The cytotoxicity of natural killer cells is determined by the collective signaling of an array of inhibitory and stimulatory CELL SURFACE RECEPTORS. A subset of T-LYMPHOCYTES referred to as NATURAL KILLER T CELLS shares some of the properties of this cell type.
