Blood lymphocytes from eight patients with chronic lymphatic leukaemia (CLL) were stimulated by phytohaemagglutinin (PHA). The effect was defined as a pronounced increase of 3H-thymidine incorporation, and a concomitant blast transformation of a large portion of surface Ig-positive, E-rosette-forming (E-RFC) negative cells. E-RFC depletion reduced these effects to nearly background levels, and the pooled data strongly suggest that malignant B-lymphocytes in CLL are capable of responding to a PHA-induced T cell factor. A possible use for this factor in characterizing different subpopulations of CLL cells is discussed.
用植物血凝素(PHA)刺激8例慢性淋巴细胞白血病(CLL)患者的血液淋巴细胞。其效应表现为3H-胸腺嘧啶核苷掺入显著增加,同时大部分表面免疫球蛋白阳性、E-玫瑰花结形成(E-RFC)阴性的细胞发生原始细胞转化。去除E-RFC可使这些效应降低至接近背景水平,汇总数据强烈提示CLL中的恶性B淋巴细胞能够对PHA诱导的T细胞因子作出反应。本文讨论了该因子在鉴定CLL细胞不同亚群方面的可能用途。
