摘要
选用一组抗人白细胞表面分化抗原单克隆抗体和基因探针,依靠间接免疫荧光技术、Ap-AAP桥联酶标免疫组化染色和分子杂交手段.对111例急性T淋巴细胞白血病(T-ALL)进行了免疫分型研究。本研究所观察到的T-ALL细胞表型绝大多数反映着正常胸腺细胞分化发育阶段或某些少见类型细胞的表型特征,亦有少数病例则无正常淋巴细胞相对应的表型,表明T-ALL细胞的高度异质性。对T-ALL表型的研究为今后深入探讨胸腺内淋巴细胞的分化成熟以及T-ALL发生学提供了良好的研究模式。
Using indirect immunofluorescent method, immunocytochemical staining (APAAP) technique and molecular hybridization, 111 cases of T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) were subclassified by a panel of monoclonal antibodies against human cell surface antigens and TcR β and JH gene probes. According to their immunophenotypes, the T-ALL could be divided into three main subtypes: immature T-ALL (I, 41.5%), common thymocytic T-ALL (Ⅱ, 20.7%) and mature T-ALL (Ⅲ, 36.9%), in addition to one hybrid acute leukemia (0.9%). Among the 46 immature T-ALL, fifty percent cases expressed CD7 T-cell-associated antigen in blast surface only, so called as pre-T-ALL. Whereas 73.9% of pre-T-ALL blasts expressed cytoplasmic CD 3 (cCD3) antigen and presented TcR β gene rearrangement. Those mentioned above confirmed their origin from T lymphoid lineage. Thus, CD7 and cCD 3 diagnostic combination provided a very sensitive assay for T-ALL, and had advantages over CD7 only. because the latter appeared on some cases with AML. Our data indicated that most of immunophenotypes in T-ALL reflected the phenotypic characters of normal thymocytes at various differentiation stages or certain rare population of lymphocytes. But a few of phenotypes had not been found normal counterparts in human thymus and bone marrow lymphoid. therefore, the heterogeneity of T-ALL was also observed.
