Detection of metastatic neuroblastoma cells in bone marrow aspirates by formaldehyde induced fluorescence histochemistry.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Metastatic neuroblastoma cells in bone marrow aspirates were examined by the formaldehyde induced fluorescence histochemical method. With this method we could easily identify abnormal cells as metastatic neuroblastoma cells by observing catecholamine green colored fluorescence in their cytoplasma. This formaldehyde induced fluorescence histochemical method is significantly useful for the diagnosis of metastatic neuroblastoma of the bone marrow.

Harvesting of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells from live rats and the in vitro differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells into neuron-like cells
In the bone marrow, there are certain populations of stem cell sources with the capacity to differentiate into several different types of cells. Ideally, cell transplants would be readily obtainable, easy to expand and bank, and capable of surviving for sufficient periods of time. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) possess all of these characteristics. One of the most important benefi...
متن کاملDetection of bone marrow invasion by neuroblastoma is improved by sampling at two sites with both aspirates and trephine biopsies.
Two hundred and eight serial bone marrow samples from 49 consecutively diagnosed children with neuroblastoma were studied retrospectively for evidence of tumour invasion. Bone marrow involvement was found in 24 patients at diagnosis and in four more at a later stage in their disease. Trephine biopsies were more effective than aspirates for tumour detection in 20% of the 154 paired aspirate/trep...

BACKGROUND In order to identify neuroblastoma cells infiltrating the bone marrow, a triple-color flow-cytometric assay was developed combining CD56 and CD45 with the intracellular anti-NB84 specific antibody. MATERIALS AND METHODS The bilateral aspirates obtained from 27 consecutive children over the age of one year with stage 4 neuroblastoma were evaluated. RESULTS Neuroblastoma cells were...

Neuroblastoma is classically composed of small round blue cells forming pseudorosettes around fibrillary stroma. Prominent cytoplasmic vacuoles are a hallmark of the L3 subtype of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in the French-American-British classification. Cytoplasmic vacuolation has also been observed in medulloblastoma [1], Ewing sarcoma, and rhabdomyosarcoma [2,3], but rarely described ...

One hundred and sixty six bone marrow aspirates from children with abdominal neuroblastoma were independently examined for the presence of neuroblastoma cells by conventional haematological staining techniques and by indirect immunofluorescence using one or more of five monoclonal antibodies. Results using the two methods were evaluated by comparison with the results of bone marrow, bone and ly...
