Blood lymphocytes from 23 patients with B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia were stimulated with different mitogens (lipopolysaccharide from E coli, phorbol myristate acetate ester, Staphylococcus aureus, and phytohemagglutinin M form). Functional properties of stimulated cells (blastic transformation, mitotic index, cIg production, Ig secretion, and acid phosphatase positivity) were evaluated and correlated with the stage of disease and chromosomal findings. Early stages of the disease are characterized by a relatively homogeneous response to polyclonal B-cell and activators and by a restricted number of chromosomal aberrations. Advanced stages show a more heterogeneous pattern of response and a higher incidence of abnormal karyotypes suggesting an involvement of various subclonal lines.

Abstract

Blood lymphocytes from 23 patients with B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia were stimulated with different mitogens (lipopolysaccharide from E coli, phorbol myristate acetate ester, Staphylococcus aureus, and phytohemagglutinin M form). Functional properties of stimulated cells (blastic transformation, mitotic index, cIg production, Ig secretion, and acid phosphatase positivity) were evaluated and correlated with the stage of disease and chromosomal findings. Early stages of the disease are characterized by a relatively homogeneous response to polyclonal B-cell and activators and by a restricted number of chromosomal aberrations. Advanced stages show a more heterogeneous pattern of response and a higher incidence of abnormal karyotypes suggesting an involvement of various subclonal lines.
