Classification of Human Leukemia by Membrane Antigen Analysis with Xenoantisera1

چکیده
Rabbit and monkey antisera after appropriate absorption were rendered specific for normal or leukemic lymphoidand myeloid-associated antigens. Antisera defining a common pe ripheral blood T-cell antigen, a thymus leukemia antigen, HLADR or la-like antigen, common acute lymphoblastic leukemia antigen (CALLA), and a myeloid-monocyte (M) antigen were used in a microcytotoxicity assay to classify leukemic cells from 30 patients in a double blind study. The antisera to the M antigen reacted with adherent peripheral blood cells and polymorphonuclear leukocytes and failed to react with nonadherent mononuclear cells and enriched T-cells and chronic lyrrtphocytic leukemia cells. The M antisera also reacted with U937, a monocytic-type cell line, and with HL60, a promyelocytic-type cell line, but failed to react with T and B lymphoblastoid cell lines. The specificities of the other antisera have been de scribed in previous reports. Cells from three of the patients could not be phenotyped by microcytotoxicity testing. Cells from 25 patients had a consen sus morphological or histochemical diagnosis of either acute lymphoblastic leukemia or acute nonlymphocytic leukemia. The serological classification of these patients using the five types of antisera listed above were consistent with the consensus diagnosis. In addition, the lymphoid cancers were further subclassified as to T-, B-, or thymus antigen types. There was no consensus lymphoid versus myeloid diagnosis on cells from two patients. The serological classification in both cases fa vored a diagnosis of myeloid rather than lymphoid leukemia.

Functional Recombinant Extra Membrane Loop of Human CD20, an Alternative of the Full Length CD20 Antigen
Background: Targeting of CD20 antigen with monoclonal antibodies has become the mainstay in the treatment of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas and immunotherapeutic depletion of malignant B cells. Accessibility of antigen is one of the crucial factors in development of monoclonal antibodies against this antigen. One major problem in expression of full length CD20 is aggregation and misfolding. Therefore,...
متن کاملIsolation and purification of HLA-DR antigen from Daudi cell line by immunoaffinity chromatography
Introduction: The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a group of cell surface proteins that are essential for recognizing foreign molecules in human and other mammals. The physiologic function of MHC molecules is the presentation of peptides to T cells. In this study, we evaluated the purification of a class II MHC molecule (HLA-DR) from a human Burkitt′s lymphoma cell line; Daudi...

Background: Cancer is a public health emergency. It has a high mortality rate despite numerous studies on pharmaceutical therapies. Chimeric antigen receptor-natural killer (CAR-NK) cells are promising immunotherapy that could be used to treat cancer, especially leukemia. However, the evidence is still unclear. Thus, this systematic review aims to summarize the evidence regarding the use of CAR...

Plasmodium vivax apical membrane antigen-1(PvAMA-1) is a surface protein with polymorphic sites. This study was aimed to analyze the polymorphic amino acid residues at PvAMA-1 in different infected age groups. 92 blood samples were collected from south and southeast of Iran. The DNA coding for the domain I (DI), DII, and partial DIII of this antigen was amplified by Nested-PCR, and sequenced. N...
