The function of c-fms in hairy-cell leukemia: macrophage colony-stimulating factor stimulates hairy-cell movement.
Hairy cells (HCs) and some activated B cells express high levels of macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) (CSF-1) receptor, but the functional effects of the cytokine on B cells have not been previously identified. Using video microscopy, image analysis, and migration assays, M-CSF was shown to induce chemokinetic and chemotactic movement of HCs. This movement response involved transitio...
متن کاملHairy Cell Leukemia in a Young Male: An Unusual Presentation
Dear Editor-in-Chief A 28 yr male was presented in October 2015 at Medicine Outpatient Department, Safdarjung Hospital, New Delhi- India with generalized weakness, fever and cough for preceding 15 days. Clinicoradiologic examination revealed pallor, firm, non-tender splenomegaly measuring 13.7 cm and hepatomegaly (liver span - 16.9 cm). However, no lymphadenopathy was found.
متن کاملHairy cell leukemia-variant.
Hairy cell leukaemia variant is a very rare chronic lymphoproliferative disorder and is closely related to hairy cell leukemia. We hereby describe a case of hairy cell leukaemia variant for the first time in Saudi Arabia. An elderly Saudi man presented with pallor, massive splenomegaly, and moderate hepatomegaly. Hemoglobin was 7.7 g/dl, Platelets were 134 x109/l and white blood count was 140x1...
متن کاملInfections in hairy-cell leukemia.
In order to determine the nature of infectious complications in hairy-cell leukemia we studied 20 consecutive patients seen at UCLA and analyzed the available literature. The incidence of serious infection in our series was 40%, and pneumonia and septicemia due to Pseudomonas and E. coli organisms were the leading types of infections. Fungal infections with Cryptococci and Histoplasma organisms...
متن کاملGrowth factor-mediated tumor cell proliferation in hairy cell leukemia
Leukemic B cells from seven patients with hairy cell leukemia (HCL), six of which contained the Tac antigen, were assayed in vitro for growth factor-mediated cell proliferation. The HCL cells showed typical phenotypic profiles by monoclonal antibody analysis. The tumor cells, which do not grow spontaneously in vitro, were found to proliferate in all but one case in response to partially purifie...
