چکیده

Morphological and immunological studies of four cases of leukaemic reticuloendotheliosis are reported. The findings indicate that leukaemic reticuloendotheliosis is a monoclonal B cell neoplasm in which the leukaemic cell expresses either Kappa or lambda light chain and delta heavy chain determinants. The similarity between this disease and chronic lymphocytic leukaemia is discussed.

Biochemical, morphological, and immunological observations of leukemic reticuloendotheliosis.

This study reports the biochemical, immunological, and morphological characteristics of the abnormal mononuclear cells from four patients with leukemic reticuloendotheliosis. Two patients had a homogeneous population of mononuclear cells with elevated thymidine incorporation, normal uridine incorporation, suboptimal or delayed response to phytohemagglutinin and a characteristic ultrastructure. ...

Membrane Fc-IgG and C3b receptors on myeloid leukaemia cells: a comparison with cytoplasmic acid naphthyl acetate esterase cytochemistry.

Membrane receptors for IgG and C3b were examined on blast cells from 57 cases of acute myeloid leukaemia. These acute leukaemias were classified as myeloblastic, myelomonocytic or monocytic following morphological, cytochemical, and immunological investigations. The membrane receptors of leukaemic blast cells appear to be directly related to the degree of monocytic differentiation with the lowe...

Hairy cell leukaemia.

Hairy cell leukaemia is a rare form of lymphoproliferative disease that affects 2% of leukaemia patients and was first described in 1958 as leukaemic reticuloendotheliosis. The typical presentation is pancytopenia, splenomegaly and abnormal lymphoid cells in blood with hairy cytoplasmic projections. The pathological hairy cell resembles in many ways B-lymphocyte as in chronic lymphocytic leukae...

Replication of reticuloendotheliosis viruses in cell culture: chronic infection.

After an initial acute infection with cell killing, chicken or duck embryo fibroblasts infected in culture with reticuloendotheliosis viruses set up a chronic infection with no cell killing or morphological transformation. Essentially all of the chronically infected cells produced virus. The virus production was not sensitive to cytosine arabinoside or mitomycin C as was virus production in an ...

Morphological, immunological, and biochemical analyses of chicken spleen cells transformed in vitro by reticuloendotheliosis virus strain T.

Reticuloendotheliosis virus strain T (REV-T) is a highly oncogenic avian retrovirus which causes a rapid neoplastic disease of the lymphoreticular system. We derived six cell lines (1-3, 1-5, 2-10, 2-14, 2-16, and 2-20) from chicken spleen cells infected with REV-T. These cells can produce both the REV-T and its associated reticuloendotheliosis helper virus, REV-A. Histochemical analyses of the...
