B-cells that express monoclonal IgM anti-MAG antibodies (M-protein) in a patient with neuropathy and non-malignant IgM monoclonal gammopathy were studied by flow cytometry to determine if they bear the CD5 cell surface antigen. The CD5+ antigen is expressed on a subpopulation of B-cells which has been implicated in the secretion of autoantibodies and development of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL). The monoclonal anti-MAG antibodies secreting B-cells were identified by a mouse monoclonal antibody to M-protein idiotype. Cytofluorometric analysis revealed that approximately 62% of the idiotype-positive B-lymphocytes expressed the CD5 antigen. The result of this study indicate that monoclonal anti-MAG antibodies may be secreted by CD5+ B-cells, and that B-cells in some cases of non-malignant IgM monoclonal gammopathy may be phenotypically similar to B-CLL cells.
通过流式细胞术研究了一名患有神经病变和非恶性IgM单克隆丙种球蛋白病的患者中表达单克隆IgM抗MAG抗体(M蛋白)的B细胞,以确定它们是否携带CD5细胞表面抗原。CD5 +抗原在一部分B细胞上表达,这部分B细胞与自身抗体的分泌和B细胞慢性淋巴细胞白血病(B - CLL)的发生有关。分泌单克隆抗MAG抗体的B细胞通过针对M蛋白独特型的小鼠单克隆抗体进行鉴定。细胞荧光分析显示,约62%的独特型阳性B淋巴细胞表达CD5抗原。这项研究的结果表明,单克隆抗MAG抗体可能由CD5 + B细胞分泌,并且在某些非恶性IgM单克隆丙种球蛋白病病例中,B细胞在表型上可能与B - CLL细胞相似。
