Clinical Features, Pathogenesis, and Treatment of Large Granular Lymphocyte Leukemias
Large granular lymphocytes (LGLs) are large lymphocytes with azurophilic granules in their cytoplasm. LGLs are either natural killer (NK) cells or T lymphocytes. Expansions of the LGLs in the peripheral blood are seen in various conditions, including three clonal disorders: T-cell LGL (T-LGL) leukemia, chronic lymphoproliferative disorders of NK cells (CLPD-NK), and aggressive NK-cell leukemia ...
متن کاملCD4 positive/CD8 negative/CD56 positive T cell large granular lymphocyte proliferations; clonal disorders of uncertain significance
Clonal expansions of CD4 positive T large granular lymphocytes with or without coexpression of CD8 are extremely uncommon. These typically display an indolent clinical course and are said to be associated with other solid malignancies. We present the clinicopathologic features and immunophenotypic analyses of two rare cases of CD4 positive T large granular lymphocyte proliferation with expressi...
متن کاملProduction of plasminogen activator by human natural killer cells. Large granular lymphocytes
In this report we have used highly purified populations of natural killer (NK) cells: large granular lymphocytes (LGL). This study demonstrates that freshly isolated and interleukin 2-cultured LGL produce the specific neutral serine protease, plasminogen activator (PA). We have found that the enzyme is expressed in both an extracellular form as well as in a cell-associated form. Upon subcellula...
متن کاملOccurrence of large granular lymphocytes and natural killer cells in the epithelium of the gut distinguishes two different coeliac diseases.
In a longterm study, we have divided coeliac disease into two distinct entities (abortive and permanent) based on the occurrence of large granular lymphocytes and natural killer cells within the epithelium of the gut. The natural killer and large granular lymphocytes cells were characterised by either immunohistochemical or phase contrast microscopical procedures on the initial biopsies from 15...
متن کاملLarge Granular Lymphosarcoma/Leukemia in Dogs and Cats
Large granular lymphosarcaoma / leukemia is a neoplastic disease of lymphocytes that contain intracytoplasmic azurophilic granules. Large granular lymphocytes (LGL) can be found in the blood of healthy domestic species and usually constitute 10% or less of the total circulating lymphocyte pool.2,7 Large granular lymphocytes have lymphocyte morphology, possessing a round or bean-shaped nucleus, ...
