We analyzed the expression of the Thy-1 antigen (CD90) in CD34+ acute leukemia using two-color flow cytometry. Leukemic cells were obtained from the bone marrow (BM) and/or the peripheral blood (PB) of 57 patients: 37 with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) including nine with secondary AML following myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS/AML), and 20 with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) including three with chronic myelogenous leukemia in blast crisis (CML-BC) of the lymphoid type. Among these patients, one (3.6%) with de novo AML, two (22.2%) with MDS/AML, three (17.6%) with de novo ALL, and two (66.7%) with CML-BC coexpressed CD34 and Thy-1 (CD34+ Thy-1+) on more than 20% of the mononuclear cells within 'lymph' plus 'blast' window. Thy-1 was rarely expressed in de novo acute leukemia especially in AML. Interestingly, in 1 patient with CML-BC, the leukemic cells in BM were divided into two subpopulations (CD34+ Thy-1low and CD34+ Thy-1high), whereas most of the CD34+ leukemic cells in PB were Thy-1high. However, the mechanism for the mobilization of CD34+ Thy-1high leukemic cells into the PB is unknown.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007938 Leukemia A progressive, malignant disease of the blood-forming organs, characterized by distorted proliferation and development of leukocytes and their precursors in the blood and bone marrow. Leukemias were originally termed acute or chronic based on life expectancy but now are classified according to cellular maturity. Acute leukemias consist of predominately immature cells; chronic leukemias are composed of more mature cells. (From The Merck Manual, 2006) Leucocythaemia,Leucocythemia,Leucocythaemias,Leucocythemias,Leukemias
D005434 Flow Cytometry Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.

D018800 Thy-1 Antigens A group of differentiation surface antigens, among the first to be discovered on thymocytes and T-lymphocytes. Originally identified in the mouse, they are also found in other species including humans, and are expressed on brain neurons and other cells.
