We have determined the distribution of CD45RO (memory) and CD45RA (naive) antigens in the bone marrow blasts from 25 patients with T-acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (T-ALL). Four groups of patients were identified on the basis of reactivity with specific antibodies by flow cytometric analysis: (a) CD45RA-/CD45RO+ (16 patients): four CD4-/CD8+, seven CD4+/CD8+ and five CD4-/CD8-; (b) CD45RA+/CD45RO- (three patients): three CD4-/CD8-; (c) five CD45RA-/CD45RO-: one CD4+/CD8-; one CD4-/CD8+; three CD4+/CD8+; (d) CD45RA+/CD45RO+ (one case): CD4+/CD8-. There was no correlation between the expression of the naive and the memory phenotypes and the presence of CD4, CD8 or any other antigen except the CD10 antigen which was expressed by all CD45RA-/CD45RO- patients. The predominance of the CD45RA-/CD45RO+ phenotype (65%) and the low incidence of the hybrid phenotype CD45RA+/CD45RO+ (5%) in T-ALL, differs from the results reported by others for chronic or prolymphocytic T-cell leukaemias, in which the simultaneous expression of these maturational antigens was detected in approximately half of the cases.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007223 Infant A child between 1 and 23 months of age. Infants
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.
