چکیده

Lymphoblasts from 18 patients with untreated acute lymphoblastic leukemia were investigated for the presence of conventional cell surface markers (spontaneous sheep red blood cell rosette formation, complement receptors, and surface immunoglobulin). The expression of Fc receptors for both IgG and IgM was investigated using indicator bovine erythrocytes coated with rabbit anti-BRBC (IgG and LgM fractions). The leukemic cells of all patients in this tudy expressed Fc receptors for both IgC and LgM. In contrast with previous reports, null (non-T non-B) lymphoblasts as well as T lymphoblasts demonstrated Fc-IgG and Fc-IgM receptors. However, these two immunologic subclasses of leukemic cells demonstrated significantly different patterns of Fc receptor distribution. These data suggest that expression of Fc receptors is an early event in cellular differentiation in this lymphoid malignancy.

Use of Four-Color Flow Cytometric Assay for Discrimination of Hematogone from Lymphoblast: Critical Issue for MRD Assessment in B-ALL Patients

Background: Hematogones are normal B-cell precursor which can be seen in different physiological and pathological conditions. Due to variation in B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) blasts immunophenotyping and interference of hematogones in minimal residual disease (MRD) assessment, precise discrimination of hematogones is very crucial.  The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ex...

The effect of resveratrol on the expression of MDR1 gene in leukemic lymphoblast’s of acute lymphoblastic leukemia patients

 Background: Chemotherapy plays a very important role in the treatment of leukemia but the resistance properties of the lymphoblasts limit the effect of chemotherapy. One of the main mechanisms of resistance to chemotherapy is the increased expression of MDR1 gene. The aim of this study was to explore the effect of resveratrol on the expression of MDR1 gene in leukemic lymphoblast of new...
