Abstract
We characterized a cell line established from bone marrow cells from a child with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. This cell line, TC78, had lymphoblastic morphology and was cytoplasmic peroxidase and esterase negative. The cells did not have T- or B-cell properties such as E- or EAC-rosette forming ability, reactivity with monoclonal T-cell or B2 antibodies, or immunoglobulin synthesis. We concluded that TC78 was a pre-pre B-cell line based on the following monoclonal antibody staining pattern: BA-1+, BA-2+, cALLa+, Ia+, 2H7+ and OKB2+. Growth in 'Dickie' culture and reactivity with 1G10 myeloid antibody suggested coexpression of lymphoid and myeloid characteristics. However, 1G10 expression proved dependent on culture conditions, illustrating one caveat in application of monoclonal antibodies in lineage determination.
