Abstract
A flow cytometric analysis of five B cell chronic lymphocytic leukemic (B-CLL) cell lines was undertaken using 129 unknown reagents from the blind panel (BP) and 72 reagents from the known CD panel obtained from the Fourth International Leucocyte Differentiation Conference and Workshop, B cell section (Vienna, 1989). The five cell lines examined were: SeD (PNAS 75, 5706, 1978), B-CLL-LCL (BLOOD 71, 9, 1988), JVM-HH and JVM-2(INT J CAN 38, 531, 1986), and WR#1 (TH and BD). The reagents were #1-129 (blinded panel) and reagents 1-44 and 53-84 (CD panel with CD23 reagents missing). Positivity was defined as greater than 30% of the cells having a three fold increase or more in mean channel fluorescence. Fourty-three reagents of the blinded panel were negative by these criteria while all remaining reagents were positive on all five lines. SeD showed the lowest reactivity; B-CLL-LCL and JVM-2 showed the most reactivity; JVM-HH and WR#1 were intermediate. The known CD panel confirmed the reactivity of the blinded panel. An average immunophenotype was constructed and compared to published normal EBV lymphoblastoid cell lines and several differences were noted. There was an absence or significant decrease in the expression of CD19, CD21, CD22 and CD37 while there was an increased expression of CD38, CD54, CD74 and CD76. The heterogeneity observed between the B-CLL lines may in part be due to polymorphisms but is more likely to represent the underlying heterogeneity seen in common and familial B-CLL.2+öff

Abstract
The t(11;14)(q13;q32) translocation has been associated with several subtypes of human leukemia and lymphoma. It has been proposed that this translocation activates a proto-oncogene designated BCL1. In an effort to better understand the mechanism by which this translocation leads to malignancy, we have studied this translocation in two human cell lines. MO1094 and MO2058 were derived from patients with prolymphocytic variants of chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Southern blotting of the MO2058 cell line documented that the translocation linked the Jh region in the immunoglobulin heavy chain gene to the previously described BCL1 major translocation cluster (MTC). Using the polymerase chain reaction, we cloned this translocation and showed that the chromosome 11 breakpoint was within 7 bp of two other samples reported previously. Southern blotting of the MO1094 cell line suggested that the translocation in this cell line might link Jh sequences to a new region in the BCL1 locus on chromosome 11. Therefore, the MO1094 breakpoint was cloned from a genomic library. Comparison with normal cloned DNA from the BCL1 locus showed that the chromosome 11 breakpoint occurred 24 kb telomeric of the MTC. This work reinforces the concept that translocation breakpoints in the BCL1 locus are scattered over at least 63 kb.

Abstract
The feasibility of combining the Lym-1 monoclonal antibody (MoAb) with interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) in the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) was evaluated. We used an in vitro tumor lysis model that incorporated fresh CLL cells from 21 different patients as targets for two distinct normal human leukocyte effector subsets, neutrophils, and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Lym-1 antigen (Lym-1-Ag) expression varied greatly and did not correlate with the expression of other CLL-associated antigens such as CD5, CD19, or HLA-DR. CLL cells were not lysed by neutrophils alone or with IFN-gamma in the absence of Lym-1. Neutrophil Lym-1-dependent cytotoxicity (ADCC) in the absence of IFN-gamma was weak and inconsistent. IFN-gamma exposure induced MoAb-dependent lysis of 80% of 21 CLL targets and resulted in an eightfold augmentation of neutrophil ADCC against the remainder. Cytotoxicity correlated directly and positively with Lym-1-Ag expression. Confirmation of the need for interaction between neutrophil IgG Fc receptors (Fc gamma Rs) and the Fc portion of the Lym-1 MoAb was obtained by demonstrating that purified Staphylococcus aureus Protein A (SpA) inhibited ADCC. IFN-gamma exposure caused no consistent alternations in Lym-1-Ag expression on CLL cells so that target antigen upregulation was unlikely to account for augmentation of neutrophil ADCC. PBMCs alone, exposed to interkeukin-2 (IL-2) or IFN-gamma, or with Lym-1 in the presence or absence of IL-2 or IFN-gamma were unable to lyse CLL targets. PBMCs were able to kill Raji Burkitt lymphoma cells in conjunction with Lym-1, so their ability to interact with Lym-1-coated targets and their lytic functions appeared intact. These results emphasize the importance of examining fresh tumor cells with different leukocyte effector subsets before designing a clinical trial that combines a therapeutic MoAb with a cytokine.

Abstract
Using separated lymphocytes from 95 male patients with B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders, we have established both Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-transformed lymphoblastoid cell lines and short-term cultures with polyclonal B-cell mitogens. Cytogenetic studies of these patients revealed an extra Y chromosome in 4 of 71 male cell lines examined. An extra Y chromosome appeared to be the sole karyotype change (47,XY, + Y) in 2 of these 4 patients. The extra Y chromosome was accompanied by extra copies of chromosomes 12 and 21 (48,XY, + Y, + 12 and 48,XY, + Y, + 21) in the other 2 patients, respectively. The possible oncological role of the extra Y chromosome in the initiation of leukemia is discussed.

Abstract
Interferon (IFN)-alpha inhibits DNA synthesis stimulated by low molecular weight B-cell growth factor (BCGF) in hairy cells in vitro, suggesting that the therapeutic efficacy of IFN-alpha in hairy cell leukemia (HCL) involves growth inhibition of malignant B cells. Evidence that the 16-Kd cell surface protein Leu-13 mediates an antiproliferative signal in T lymphocytes and is IFN-inducible in endothelial cells prompted us to examine the expression and functional role of this molecule in leukemic B cells. Leu-13 density, determined by flow cytometry, was upregulated in vitro and in vivo by IFN-alpha on malignant B cells from patients with HCL, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and prolymphocytic leukemia. Monoclonal anti-Leu-13 triggered homotypic aggregation of leukemic B cells via an adhesion pathway that was not inhibited by antibodies to leukocyte function associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) or intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1). Moreover, anti-Leu-13 potentiated the inhibitory effects of IFN-alpha on BCGF-stimulated DNA synthesis, assessed by [3H]-thymidine and [3H]-deoxyadenosine incorporation into DNA. These results indicate that Leu-13 is part of a novel IFN-inducible signaling pathway which may modify the growth and adhesive properties of leukemic B cells under physiologic or therapeutic conditions.

Abstract
Antiidiotype (Id) antibodies identify unique determinants within the surface immunoglobulin (Ig) that are present on B-cell tumors. Anti-Ids have been used for diagnosis and therapy of B-cell lymphoma and leukemia. A panel of 29 anti-Id monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) that recognize shared idiotypes (SIds) on B-cell lymphomas was tested for reactivity with both B-cell leukemias and lymphomas. Ten of 40 (25%) cases of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) reacted with at least one of the 29 anti-SId MoAbs. Three cases reacted with more than one anti-SId MoAb, but there was no repetitive pattern of a single anti-SId MoAb reacting with a large proportion of CLL cases. In contrast, for B-cell lymphoma, in which 11 of 31 (36%) cases reacted, one anti-SId (B4-1) reacted with five of the positive cases; all were diffuse histology. Restricted anti-SId reactivity may lead to important insights into the etiology of certain B-cell lymphomas. In addition, these anti-SIds may obviate the need to develop "tailor-made" antibodies for individual patients.

Abstract
Between February 1972 and February 1989, splenectomies were performed in 30 patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and three with prolymphocytic leukemia (PLL) at our institution. Indications for splenectomy included anemia and/or thrombocytopenia (hypersplenism) in 31 patients and symptomatic splenomegaly in two patients. Median time from the diagnosis of CLL to splenectomy was 25 months. Twenty (87%) of the 23 patients splenectomized for thrombocytopenia with or without anemia had platelet increments of greater than or equal to 50 x 10(9)/liter. Hemoglobin increments of greater than or equal to 3 gm/dl were noted in 12 (71%) of 17 patients splenectomized for anemia with or without thrombocytopenia. The median duration of platelet response was 18 months for 19 evaluable patients, and the median duration of hemoglobin response was 62 months for 10 evaluable patients. Median survival time from splenectomy was 36 months. Median survival from diagnosis was 103 months for 10 patients with stage III or IV disease at diagnosis and 79 months for 10 patients with stage II. A prospective study of the effect of splenectomy in a larger number of patients with advanced CLL should be considered.

Abstract
Lym-1 is an IgG2a murine monoclonal antibody that reacts with variant Class II molecules expressed on B-cell malignancies. Lym-1 was shown to mediate antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) of human effector cells against a variety of malignant B-cell lines. Tumor cell lysis was Lym-1 specific because (a) the reaction was dose dependent with significant ADCC detectable at Lym-1 concentrations as low as 1 microgram/ml; (b) tumor targets not expressing the Lym-1 antigen were unaffected; (c) an isotype-matched irrelevant monoclonal antibody and an IgG1 anti-Class II monoclonal antibody failed to mediate ADCC; and (d) addition of Protein A (which binds avidly to Lym-1) blocked ADCC by 90 to 100%. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells obtained from normal donors as well as from cancer patients were able to interact with Lym-1 to elicit ADCC. Recombinant interleukin 2 (rIL-2) enhanced non-antibody-mediated tumor lysis and Lym-1 ADCC with an optimal concentration of 100 units/ml. Pulse treatment of normal peripheral blood mononuclear cells with rIL-2 was able to augment Lym-1 ADCC but was less effective than having the rIL-2 present through the assay. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells obtained from patients being treated with high doses of rIL-2 administered by continuous i.v. infusion demonstrated Lym-1 ADCC levels which were higher than normal individuals and which were further augmented by in vitro incubation with rIL-2.

Abstract
There has been significant progress in the past 10 years in our ability to prospectively predict prognosis in CLL. The clinical staging systems have helped us identify three broad groups of patients with respect to their overall outlook for survival: low risk (stage 0), intermediate risk (stages I and II), and high risk (stages III and IV). It seems reasonable to distinguish those low- and intermediate-risk patients who are likely to have a benign or indolent clinical course if their blood lymphocyte doubling time is longer than 12 months and their bone marrow biopsy pattern of lymphocytic infiltration is nondiffuse. With these guidelines, it will be possible to initiate meaningful and reliable therapeutic trials in CLL in the immediate future.

Abstract
Significant progress has been made in the past two decades in the understanding of immunobiology of CLL and the development of clinical staging systems and identification of other prognostic factors in CLL. A significant advance in the management of CLL has also been made. Now we know when to initiate therapy. We recommend that patients with stage 0 and patients with stages I and II associated with good prognostic features such as absence of disease-related symptoms, long lymphocyte doubling time, nondiffuse bone marrow infiltration, and low tumor load not be treated; they should be followed at 2- to 6-month intervals. We recommend initiation of therapy for patients with stages I and II, associated with poor prognostic features such as presence of disease-related symptoms, short lymphocyte doubling time, diffuse bone marrow infiltration, and high tumor load and for patients with stages III and IV. However, we still do not know what constitutes the optimal therapy for the disease. In one large randomized study, the response rate as well as survival superiority of CHOP (with low-dose Adriamycin) over COP in previously untreated patients with stage C disease was observed. In another large randomized study, only a response rate advantage of CHOP (with standard dose Adriamycin) over chlorambucil and prednisone (in previously untreated patients with stages B and C) was seen. No randomized studies have compared CHOP versus chlorambucil and prednisone in patients with stages III and IV or stage C. At present, our recommendation for the treatment of patients with advanced disease is chlorambucil and prednisone therapy. New drugs under clinical trials for CLL include (1) deoxycoformycin, (2) 2-chlorodeoxyadenosine, and (3) fludarabine monophosphate. Both deoxycoformycin and 2-chlorodeoxyadenosine have been shown to have some activity in previously treated CLL patients with advanced disease. The effectiveness of these agents, however, has not been tested yet in untreated patients with advanced disease. Fludarabine monophosphate, on the other hand, has been shown to be very effective in both previously treated and untreated patients with advanced disease. Allogeneic bone marrow transplantation recently has been found to be of benefit in some patients (37 to 46 years) in a preliminary study; this therapeutic procedure should be tested further in a larger population of younger patients (less than 50 years) with advanced CLL. New agents such as lymphokines (interferons and IL-2) and monoclonal antibodies have been investigated for their efficacy and found to be minimally effective in previously treated patients with advanced disease.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
We describe a case of acute nonlymphocytic leukemia (ANLL) in a patient with a constitutional chromosome anomaly, inv(4)(p16q26). The patient had extensive occupational exposure to toxic chemicals. Reports of constitutional or acquired chromosome inversions in human malignancies are quite uncommon. The constitutional changes associated with hematologic malignancies include trisomy 21, balanced translocations, deletions, and sex chromosome anomalies. The breakpoints on chromosome 4 in our case are 4p16, to which the murine leukemia viral (v-raf) oncogene, pseudogene 1, has been mapped, and 4q26, which is the locus of the IL-2 gene. Activation of these genes could have played a role in the pathogenesis of the patient's leukemia.

Abstract
Nine male patients with disseminated Hodgkin's disease who had relapsed and/or were refractory to two or more non-"cross-resistant" programs of combination chemotherapy (range, two to five previous programs; median, three) were admitted into a study of treatment with wide-field low-dose radiation therapy (2,000 cGy), to all lymph node bearing areas, the liver, the spleen, and in selected cases the lungs (1,000 cGy). Simultaneous with each course of radiation therapy, chemotherapy with BCNU and procarbazine given at 50% doses of a known program of chemotherapy (BOPP) with vincristine and prednisone was given. Treatment was completed in five patients. Three of these achieved a complete remission; the other two had a partial response. Of the other four, two died during treatment with interstitial pneumonitis (probably radiation induced), and two failed to respond. Remission durations were 18+, 38, and 44+ months. Pulmonary toxicity was severe; however, hematologic and other toxicities were acceptable. The incorporation of wide-field low-dose radiation should be considered in programs of rescue for patients with Hodgkin's disease who relapse or are refractory to standard combination chemotherapy.

Abstract
Solid and granular porous hydroxylapatite implants were compared in the surgical treatment of angular interproximal periodontal defects in 10 subjects. After completion of initial therapy, presurgical measurements of pocket depth, attachment level, gingival recession, gingival fluid and tooth mobility were recorded. Six months after the surgery the measurements were repeated. The use of both forms of porous hydroxylapatite resulted in reduction in pocket depth, and probeable attachment level gains as well as gingival recession and reduction of gingival fluid and tooth mobility. These changes were similar for both granular and solid forms of porous hydroxylapatite.

Abstract
Iliac crest trephine biopsy specimens from 16 patients treated with recombinant alpha 2-interferon (alpha-IFN) for hairy cell leukemia (HCL) were examined for reticulin and collagen content. These data were compared with the hairy cell index (HCl), the proportion of hairy cells to the overall cellularity of the bone marrow. Specimens were studied immediately before alpha-IFN therapy, at 6-month intervals during, and in six patients 6 months after cessation of therapy. All patients presented with increased bone marrow fibrosis ranging from focally increased reticulin to a diffuse increase in both reticulin and collagen content. This fibrosis was observed to decrease during alpha-IFN therapy inasmuch as the hairy cell population was diminished in the bone marrow in 13 patients. Regression analysis of HCl v bone marrow fibrosis showed a positive correlation (r = .73, P less than .02). Six patients demonstrated a reduction in bone marrow reticulin and collagen to normal levels during alpha-IFN therapy. Two of six patients demonstrated increased bone marrow fibrosis and HCl 6 months after cessation of alpha-IFN therapy. Three of 16 patients exhibited no decrease in bone marrow reticulin content during therapy despite a decreased bone marrow hairy cell population.

Abstract
A routine method allows bone marrow biopsy specimens to be embedded in glycol methacrylate (GMA), a water miscible plastic, and to benefit from the advantages of good morphology with immunoperoxidase detection of a wide range of cellular antigens useful in diagnosing and classifying various haematopoietic disorders. Marrow cores were fixed in cold Bouin's solution, rinsed in cold phosphate buffer, dehydrated in cold methanol, infiltrated and embedded in cold GMA, then polymerised at 4 degrees C. Sections were cut at 2 micron thickness with a Tungsten carbide knife in a Jung's high performance microtome (Autocut). Antigenecity was preserved when drying slides at room temperature but pronase digestion was necessary to re-expose the antigens in bone marrow biopsy sections embedded in GMA. Histostik, a new adhesive, was used to coat the glass slides to prevent section loss during enzyme digestion and immunostaining procedures. This method of adapting plastic embedding to undecalcified marrow cores preserves marrow architecture and cellular details and it can serve as a useful adjunct to analyse the bone marrow from patients with myeloproliferative and lymphoproliferative disorders. This technique may also be applicable in non-haematological malignant conditions which affect the marrow.

Abstract
We describe a case of human T-lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I)-associated transient benign immature T-cell lymphocytosis in a black female patient, which over the course of several months underwent spontaneous complete remission. The patient presented with a white blood cell count of 20,000/microliter and a T4/T8 ratio of 1.7:1. The majority of cells appeared to be lymphoid in origin, and cell marker analyses established that the circulating lymphocytes were predominantly immature T-cells. HTLV-I was detected at this time by a p19 indirect immunofluorescent slide assay. Over a 1-month period of time the patient's clinical status evolved into a mature T-lymphocytosis with a T4/T8 ratio of 4.5:1. HTLV-I was detected by anti-p19 immunofluorescence by cell sorter analyses and by dot-bloc nucleic acid hybridization. Serological testing demonstrated that the patient had anti-HTLV-I antibodies and antimembrane antibodies specific for an HTLV-I producing cell line. In a competitive HTLV-I ELISA assay only HTLV-I proteins could effectively compete out the seroreactivity. The patient also had a high serum level of soluble interleukin-2 (IL-2) receptors, which is associated with HTLV-I infection. This is the first reported case of immature T-lymphocytosis in a patient infected with HTLV-I. The patient's HTLV-I markers disappeared with time, and her lymphocytosis subsequently spontaneously resolved. She remains disease free and virus negative after 2 years of follow-up study.

Abstract
Cytogenetic analyses by G-banding and/or Q-banding techniques of leukemic B cells were performed in 102 patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), including six with prolymphocytic leukemia (PLL), one with hairy cell leukemia (HCL), and one with Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia (WM) from 1979 through 1983. Follow-up after cytogenetic study ranged from 24 to 70 months. Seventeen patients had stage 0, 10 had stage I, 31 had stage II, and 44 had stage III or IV. Adequate metaphases were obtained for karyotypic analysis in 86 (84%) of 102 patients. Of these 86 patients with adequate metaphases, 43 had normal karyotypes (50%) and 43 had abnormal karyotypes (50%), of which trisomy 12 was the most frequent. Ten patients had trisomy 12 as the sole abnormality, 14 had trisomy 12 in combination with other abnormalities, and the remaining 19 had other abnormalities without trisomy 12. Abnormal karyotypes were more frequently associated with patients with advanced stages than those with early stages of the disease. Response rate to chemotherapy was significantly higher in patients with normal karyotypes than in those with abnormal karyotypes. Of eight patients who subsequently developed Richter's syndrome, seven initially had complex karyotypic changes with or without trisomy 12. These observations suggest that the chances of development of Richter's syndrome in CLL patients with multiple chromosome changes may be much higher than in those with either simple trisomy 12 or a normal karyotype. Mean frequency of abnormal metaphases was significantly higher in patients with complex trisomy 12 in combination with other changes than in those with trisomy 12 as the sole abnormality.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Autopsy data on 1,206 children and adult patients with acute myelocytic leukemia (AML) (585), chronic granulocytic leukemia (CGL) (204), acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) (308), and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) (109) obtained from 1958 to 1982 were reviewed. This analysis has shown that, whereas the proportion of patients with residual AML at any anatomic site decreased significantly and uniformly over the entire study period, significant corresponding decreases in patients with CGL and ALL occurred only since 1976 and 1978, respectively. No significant corresponding decreases were noted in patients with CLL at any time. Significant decreases were also noted over time in the rates of extramedullary site involvement by AML, CGL, and ALL. Whereas the lymphoreticular organs, kidneys, adrenals, and pituitary were most often involved at autopsy by CLL, the testes, leptomeninges, dura mater, uterus, large bowel, and pancreas were most often involved by ALL. In general, patients with AML and CGL showed the lowest relative rates of involvement of the various organs by leukemia during the 24-year period. Whereas patients with AML and ALL showed significant decreases in the rates of involvement of nearly all anatomic sites during the most recent study periods, those with CGL and CLL showed corresponding decreases in only a few organ sites. The lower rates of organ involvement in patients with AML and ALL attest to the more aggressive eradication of leukemic cells by therapeutic regimens in these diseases over time. In particular, the significant decrease in the rate of meningeal involvement by ALL during the most recent period is probably attributable to central nervous system prophylaxis.

Abstract
The anti-granulocyte activity of serum from patients with B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) and other lymphoproliferative disorders was investigated. Granulocyte-binding IgG was measured in 34 patients with CLL, 13 patients with hairy cell leukaemia, one patient with prolymphocytic leukaemia, two patients with Sézary cell leukaemia, and seven patients with chronic T-cell lymphocytosis who had a predominance of circulating large granular lymphocytes. Anti-granulocyte activity was absent in CLL and its variants, but present in the majority of granulocytopenic patients with chronic T-cell lymphocytosis. In one of these patients, granulocytopenia was associated with complement-activating IgG granulocyte antibody. Thus, antibody-mediated granulocyte injury appears to be an unusual occurrence in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, but is a frequent complication of chronic T-cell lymphocytosis.

Abstract
Seventy three patients with disseminated diffuse non-Hodgkin's lymphomas were treated with combinations of cyclophosphamide, vincristine sulfate, prednisone, and doxorubicin with and without 2 weekly doses of oral methotrexate in "intermediate" doses, followed by calcium leucovorin rescue. The addition of methotrexate did not increase the complete remission rate, the remission duration, or the survival (P value = 1.0, 0.74, and 0.78, respectively) in patients who did not have previous chemotherapy treatment. In previously treated patients, the complete remission rate was somewhat higher and the remission duration and survival were longer among those patients treated with the methotrexate containing program; however these differences were not statistically significant (P values = 0.88, 0.81, and 0.46, respectively). There was substantial morbidity and mortality during treatment with both treatment arms, among patients aged more than 60 years.

Abstract
Eleven patients with Hodgkin's disease refractory to chemotherapy were treated with six cycles of intermediate-dose methotrexate with calcium leucovorin rescue, followed by cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (MTX-CHOP). Three other patients were treated with a similar program of treatment minus doxorubicin (MTX-COP). The overall response rate was 57%, with four (29%) patients achieving a complete response and four patients achieving a partial response. None of the three patients treated with MTX-COP had a complete remission (CR); thus the complete remission rate with MTX-CHOP was somewhat higher (36%). Only one of the CR's is in continuous complete remission and free of disease at 99+ months. One patient died of overwhelming sepsis and pancytopenia during treatment. Hematologic toxicity in the other patients was acceptable. The overall median survival was 18 months. The search for an effective treatment program for this group of patients remains a major challenge.

Abstract
Cytogenetic analyses were performed on cells from 17 patients with hairy cell leukemia stimulated with polyclonal B-cell activators (in 155 different cultures). No mitosis was obtained in samples from four cases (23.5%). Of 14 bone marrows, four (28.6%) showed mitoses, two with clonal abnormalities. All four samples from the spleen had mitoses with four clonal changes; eight of 13 (37.5%) blood samples had mitoses with three clonal changes. Of the polyclonal B-cell activators (PBA), lipopolysaccharide and protein A seemed to be effective for the detection of clonal abnormalities in hairy cell leukemia. Among the clonal aberrations, chromosomes #3, #10, and #17 were affected in two cases each; frequent numerical changes were monosomies of #10 and #17 and structural changes were deletions at band 3p21 (two cases), 6q-, and der(9)t(9;?)(p22;?). The chromosomal bands involved in structural changes were close to accepted constitutive fragile sites.

Abstract
Sequential cytogenetic studies were performed in eight of ten patients with B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia presenting with trisomy 12 as the sole chromosomal abnormality. Follow-up studies of peripheral blood lymphocytes revealed that the karyotypes retained the sole abnormality of trisomy 12 in five cases, trisomy 12 converted to a normal karyotype during remission in one case, additional chromosome changes (-X,14q-) along with trisomy 12 appeared in one patient and multiple chromosome changes with or without trisomy 12 appeared in the remaining patient. The findings indicate that other chromosome changes in addition to trisomy 12 may develop as a result of clonal evolution or dedifferentiation, though the possibility that in two patients these changes may be related to chemotherapy and/or irradiation could not be ruled out entirely.

Abstract
Cytogenetic studies of Epstein-Barr virus-transformed lymphoblastoid cells obtained from a patient with prolymphocytic leukemia revealed the cells to contain recurrent chromosome aberrations involving band 3p21. The in vivo leukemic cells from which the cell lines originated contained a der(3)t(3;17?)(p21;q11?) and a der(13)t(13;3)(q34;p21), as well as numerical (-Y, -8, and -17) and other structural [8p- and der(8)t(8;?)(q13?;?)] changes. The cells in established culture showed additional chromosome aberrations involving band 3p21 of the previously normal and abnormal chromosomes 3. After 200 days of culture, the cells contained a new translocation, i.e., t(3;14)(p21;q32). The cells showed further chromosomal breakage and reunion at band 3p21 at later passages. The affected chromosomal band (3p21) is close to one of the constitutive fragile sites, i.e., 3p14.2. Northern blot analysis of the messenger RNA of the cultured cells did not show an increased or altered expression of the c-raf-1 protooncogene (located at 3p25) when compared with the mRNA of Epstein-Barr virus-transformed lymphoblastoid cell lines from normal subjects with a normal karyotype. Also, the established cells did not show DNA rearrangements or RNA alterations of the c-myc gene.

Abstract
Malignant B cells from hairy cell leukemia (HCL) patients are unable to proliferate when stimulated with standard B cell mitogens. Using chromatographically purified B cell growth factor (BCGF), HCL can be stimulated to proliferate as assessed by incorporation of tritiated thymidine [3HTdR] into DNA. Proliferation was found to be time dependent, with no detectable 3H-TdR incorporation in up to three days of culture, and significant stimulation evident at days 6 and 10. The presence of 10% BCGF in culture was an absolute requirement for HCL proliferation; however, this BCGF-induced DNA synthesis could be further augmented by the addition of anti-immunoglobulin heavy chain antibodies. BCGF-induced proliferation was abrogated in six of six patients by addition of 1,000 U/mL of recombinant alpha 2-interferon (IFN) at day 0, although 1,000 U/mL of recombinant gamma-IFN had no inhibitory effect in five of six patients studied. Specific cellular receptors for type I IFN were demonstrated in HCL by inhibition of binding of 125I-alpha 2-IFN by a 40-fold excess of unlabeled alpha 2 or beta IFN with no inhibition by unlabeled gamma-IFN. These data demonstrate that malignant HCL lymphoblasts express specific type I IFN receptors and that type I, but not type II IFN, can inhibit growth factor-induced DNA synthesis by hairy cells in vitro. They further suggest a direct antiproliferative mechanism of action for IFN in HCL and predict equivalent clinical activity by either alpha or beta, but not gamma IFN in this malignancy.

Abstract
Tissue samples from three subjects who had periodontal defects treated with a porous hydroxylapatite implant were investigated using light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The 3-month specimen showed connective tissue infiltration through the pores and a narrow zone of bone formation present along the walls of the pores. At 4 months, continued evidence of bone deposition was present with osteocytes, osteoblasts and organization of collagen fibers apparent throughout the implant. The 6-month implant had further evidence of continued bone formation with lamellar bone being the major component within the pores.
