Abstract
We have previously reported that alloreaction can lead to activation of dendritic cells through secretion of inflammatory cytokines. Here, we addressed whether alloreaction-derived cytokines may also lead to acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) blast differentiation. With this aim, supernatant (sn) harvested from major or minor histocompatibility antigen-mismatched mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) were used to culture French American Bristish (FAB) type M4 or M5 AML blasts. Our results showed that the secreted factors induced upregulation of CD40, CD54, and/or HLA molecules in AML blasts. Protein fractionation, blockade experiments and exogenous cytokine reconstitution demonstrated the involvement of TNF in the upregulation of CD54, CD40 and HLA-class II molecules, and of IFNgamma in the increase of HLA-class I and class II molecule expression. But, in line of its much higher levels of secretion, TNFbeta, rather than TNFalpha, was likely to play a preponderant role in AML blast differentiation. Moreover TNFbeta and IFNgamma were also likely to be involved in the AML blast differentiation-mediated by HLA-identical donor T-cell alloresponse against recipient AML blasts. In conclusion, we show herein that upon allogeneic reaction, TNFbeta secretion contributes, in concert with IFNgamma, to increase or restore surface molecules involved in AML blast interaction with T cells.

Abstract
Uveal melanoma is the most common intraocular malignancy. To study its biology, stable cell lines provide a useful tool, but these are very difficult to obtain. A stable and rapidly growing human choroidal melanoma cell line composed of pure epithelioid cells was established and maintained for at least 4 years. In vivo transplantation into BALB/cByJ nude mice induced vascularized tumours at the injection sites. Interestingly, two of three cases produced a liver metastasis. Other uveal melanoma cell lines displaying different morphological aspects were also obtained. To avoid the bias due to uncertain immunologically based staining approaches, several methods were juxtaposed to establish the multidrug resistance (MDR) profile. All the uveal melanomas studied expressed significant levels of the MDR-related MDR1, MRP1 (MDR-related protein 1) and LRP/MVP (lung resistance protein/major vault protein) messenger RNAs (mRNAs), produced their corresponding proteins and were able to functionally extrude daunomycin. When compared with the established MEWO skin melanoma cell line, our data showed that both primary and metastatic uveal melanomas intrinsically expressed the typical MDR phenotype, which precludes the use of any anticancer drugs known to be substrates of MDR-related proteins to treat the disease. Moreover, it appears that the metastasizing process does not change the status of the MDR phenotype.

Abstract
Modification of dendritic cells (DCs) is a promising avenue for gene therapy purposes, given the versatility and the multiplicity of functions of these cells. In this study, we show that preincubation of monocyte-derived DCs with low amounts of non-infectious virion-like particles derived from the simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV(MAC) VLPs) increases up to 10-fold the efficiency of transduction by HIV-1 lentiviral vectors at low multiplicity of infections yielding up to 90% of transduced cells, in the absence of alterations of DCs behavior. This effect is restricted to DCs and specified by the viral accessory protein Vpx. Thus, preincubation with empty VLPs of SIV(MAC) can be used in transduction protocols to increase the efficacy of HIV-1-mediated modification of DCs.

Abstract
It is commonly accepted that infection of nondividing cells by gammaretroviruses such as the murine leukemia viruses is inefficient due to their inability to cross the nuclear envelope barrier. Challenging this notion, we now show that human nondividing macrophages display a specific window of susceptibility to transduction with a Friend murine leukemia virus (F-MLV)-derived vector during their differentiation from monocytes. This finding suggests that factors other than the nuclear membrane govern permissiveness to gammaretroviral infection and raises the possibility of using the macrophage tropism of F-MLV in gene therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A bone marrow transplantation conditioning regimen is known to activate host dendritic cells (DC), which then become able to initiate graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) by presenting alloantigens. In this article, the authors addressed whether the alloreaction could reciprocally maintain DC in an activation state through secretion of proinflammatory cytokines. METHODS Skin biopsy specimens from GVHD patients were analyzed for the presence of DC. Supernatants collected from primary major histocompatibility antigen (allogeneic mixed leukocyte reaction [MLR] supernatant [SN]) or secondary minor histocompatibility antigen-mismatched mixed lymphocyte reactions were used to culture cytokine-promoted immature (im) DC. DC phenotype, function, and migration were analyzed. RESULTS Immunostaining from GVHD skin biopsy specimens showed a deficit of Langerhans cells (LC) in the epidermis but the presence of mature DC in the dermis. Because LC should have recovered in the epidermis by this time, the authors then addressed whether the allogeneic reaction could maintain DC in an activation and migratory state, through secretion of inflammatory cytokines. With this aim, cytokine-mediated imDC were exposed to alloMLR-SN for 2 days. The authors observed that DC increased their expression of CD80, CD86, CD40, and human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DR and neoexpressed CD83, DC-LAMP/CD208, and CCR7. At the functional level, alloMLR-SN-treated DC lost their ability to capture dextran, improved their allostimulatory capacity, and migrated in response to macrophage inflammatory protein 3beta. Interestingly, SN collected from secondary HLA-identical but minor histocompatibility antigen-mismatched MLR induced almost equivalent DC phenotypic maturation. CONCLUSIONS The authors' results show that the allogeneic reaction leads to maturation and migration of DC through proinflammatory cytokine secretion. This might contribute to the impairment of LC reconstitution in the skin of patients with GVHD.

Abstract
AIMS To determine haematological parameters, urine mutagenicity (on three Salmonella typhimurium strains), and DNA damage (using the comet assay) in mononuclear leucocytes of farmers before and after a one-day spraying period of pear and apple trees with the fungicide captan in usual conditions. METHODS Fruit growers were exposed to captan during the 1998 (n = 12) and/or the 2000 spraying seasons (n = 17). Biological samples were collected on the morning of the day of spraying (S1), the evening after spraying (S2), and the morning of the day after (S3). The UK Predictive Operator Exposure Model (UK-POEM) was used to quantify pesticide exposure intensity. RESULTS No effect was observed on haematological parameters for these two spraying seasons. Proportions of mutagenic urine samples did not significantly differ between S1 and S2/S3 sampling points. In contrast with strains TA97a and YG1041 mainly sensitive to frameshift mutations, a positive trend was observed between the difference (S3-S1) of mutagenic power on strain TA102 detecting base-pair mutations and the exposure predicted value given by UK-POEM, mainly due to parameters related to protective clothing. No significant variations in DNA damage levels were observed between S1 and S3, nor were correlations observed with parameters of pesticide exposure. CONCLUSIONS A one-day spraying period with captan and other pesticides does not significantly induce DNA damages in mononuclear leucocytes. In contrast, an inefficient protective clothing could correlate with an increase in urine mutagenicity as assessed by the TA102 tester strain.

Abstract
Heterologous lentiviral vectors (LVs) represent a way to address safety concerns in the field of gene therapy by decreasing the possibility of genetic recombination between vector and packaging constructs and the generation of replication-competent viruses. Using described LVs based on human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and simian immunodeficiency virus MAC251 (SIV(MAC251)), we asked whether heterologous virion particles in which trans-acting factors belonged to HIV-1 and cis elements belonged to SIV(MAC251) (HIV-siv) would behave as parental homologous vectors in all cell types. To our surprise, we found that although the heterologous HIV-siv vector was as infectious as its homologous counterpart in most human cells, it was defective in the transduction of dendritic cells (DCs) and, to a lesser extent, macrophages. In DCs, the main postentry defect was observed in the formation of two-long-terminal-repeat circles, despite the fact that full-length proviral DNA was being synthesized and was associated with the nucleus. Taken together, our data suggest that heterologous HIV-siv vectors display a cell-dependent infectivity defect, most probably at a post-nuclear entry migration step. As homologous HIV and SIV vectors do transduce DCs, we believe that these results underscore the importance of a conserved interaction between cis elements and trans-acting viral factors that is lost or suboptimal in heterologous vectors and essential only in the transduction of certain cell types. For gene therapy purposes, these findings indicate that the cellular tropism of LVs can be modulated not only through the use of distinct envelope proteins or tissue-specific promoters but also through the specific combinatorial use of packaging and transfer vector constructs.

Abstract
Here, we investigated the influence of cyclosporin A (CsA) on dendritic cell (DC) generation. With this aim, human DC were propagated from monocytes in serum-free medium with granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor and interleukin-4. DC were then exposed to tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) for maturation. Our results show that CsA does not impair commitment of monocytes into DC, as assessed by loss of CD14 and increase of CD40 and CD1a. However, TNF-alpha-induced DC maturation was affected, as CsA-treated DC expressed lower levels of human leukocyte antigen and costimulatory molecules but sustained levels of CD1a, and less DC expressed DC-lysosomal-associated-membrane-protein (LAMP) and CD83. Accordingly, CsA inhibited the allostimulatory and accessory cell functions of DC. Surprisingly, when other maturation stimuli were used, we observed that CsA significantly inhibited maturation induced by lipopolysaccharides but not by polyribocytidylic acid or CD40 ligand, as assessed by DC phenotype and functions. Therefore, our results indicate that CsA may differentially affect DC maturation.

Abstract
Multidrug resistance of cancer (MDR) is the major cause of failure of chemotherapy. The typical MDR phenotype is due to the overexpression of membrane proteins among which the main representative is P-glycoprotein (Pgp) encoded by the MDR1 gene. Many attempts to modulate MDR by chemosensitizers have been unsuccessful in human therapy due to their intrinsic toxic effects. In an effort to modulate the MDR phenotype efficiently we designed an antisense and a transcriptional decoy strategy targeting the TATA-less human MDR1 gene promoter. The choice of the start point of transcription in a multiple start site window is related to an upstream MED-1 cis-element, the sequence and configuration of which are specific to human MDR1 gene expressed in Pgp-overproducing cancer cells. A 12mer antisense oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) and a 12mer double-stranded ODN, both containing the MED-1 sequence, were designed and efficiently vectorized into the nucleus with the chimerical MPG peptide. A synthetic cellular model (NIH-EGFP) and highly resistant human CEM/VLB0.45 leukemia cells, significantly responded to transfection with the ODN/MPG complex. The level of EGFP fluorescence in NIH-EGFP cells decreased, and thus its production, and viability of CEM/VLB0.45 cells decreased by 63% in the presence of vinblastine, revealing that their resistance to the anticancer drug was reversed. These results open new insights into transcriptional decoy and anti-gene therapies of MDR cancers that overproduce Pgp. Gene Therapy (2000) 7, 1224-1233.

Abstract
A large number of multidrug resistance (MDR) modulators, termed chemosensitizers, have been identified from a variety of chemicals, but most have been proven to be clinically toxic. Low concentrations of the pleuromutilin-derived semi-synthetic antibiotic tiamulin (0.1 to 10 microM) sensitized the three highly resistant P-glycoprotein (Pgp)-overexpressing tumor cell lines P388 (murine lymphoid leukemia), AS30-D (rat hepatoma), CEM (human lymphoblastic leukemia), and the barely resistant AS30-D/S cell lines to several MDR-related anticancer drugs. Flow cytometric analysis showed that tiamulin significantly increased the intracellular accumulation of daunomycin. When compared to reference modulating agents such as verapamil and cyclosporin A, tiamulin proved to be 1.1 to 8.3 times more efficient in sensitizing the resistant cell lines. Moreover, when given i.p. (1.6 microg/mg body weight), tiamulin increased the survival rate of adriamycin-treated mice bearing the P388/ADR25 tumor line by 29%. In the presence of an anticancer drug, tiamulin inhibited both ATPase and drug transport activities of Pgp in plasma membranes from tumor cells. Tiamulin is thus a potent chemosensitizer that antagonizes the Pgp-mediated chemoresistance in many tumor cell lines expressing the MDR phenotype at different levels and displays no toxic effects on contractile tissues at active doses, therefore providing the promise for potential clinical applications.

Abstract
Recent studies have highlighted the high degree of differentiation of monocytes. Indeed, dendritic cells (DC) can be generated from monocytes, in the presence of appropriate cytokines. However, human serum is usually avoid in such cultures. Here, we report that human serum does not inhibit generation of mature DC from blood monocytes, but rather that extra-cellular pH may play an important role in the regulation of monocyte differentiation. Indeed, monocytes cultured at pH 7.4 in the presence of high concentrations of human serum developed efficiently into mature DC, as opposed with monocytes cultured at pH 7. These pH 7.4 cultured DC presented features characteristic of mature DC, at the phenotypical, functional and morphological levels. In addition, these DC were stable, with respect to their sustained expression of CD83 and CD86, upon withdrawal of cytokines. Finally, when autologous plasma was used instead of homologous serum, differentiation of monocytes into mature DC was efficient, as well. Thus, altogether, our data show the importance of extra-cellular pH on differentiation of monocyte-derived DC in the presence of human serum, which should be maintained at plasma levels.

Abstract
To prevent human platelet alloimmunization, Blood Transfusion Centres have to develop a strategy close to the erythrocytes' one. The first step of this strategy is to perform the HPA typing of donors with an accurate method. We applied the PCR-SSP to type 800 platelet donors in the HPA-1 and HPA-5 systems and 350 in the HPA-2 and HPA-3 ones. This study reports the human platelet antigen frequencies of four platelet-specific alloantigen systems in the French population. The results are quite similar to those currently published for Caucasian population frequencies. Low prevalences are observed for the HPA-1b, (2%), HPA-2b (0.6%) and HPA-5b (2%) groups. Furthermore, this study confirms the need to type donors and recipients in the HPA-1 system at least, in case of post-transfusion pupura and platelet refractoriness to platelet transfusion therapy.

Abstract
We evaluated the reliability of a flow cytometry technique for counting mononuclear cells (MNCs) in cytapheresis products. Eighty freshly-prepared samples of peripheral stem cells were studied using a dual immunolabeling technique with antibodies to CD13/CD14, and were also labeled with anti-CD34. Results of this immunophenotype determination were compared to those of the conventional method for counting MNCs under the microscope. Dual CD13/CD14 labeling was found to be a simple and reliable method for counting MNCs in the presence of immature and stimulated cells. When used in combination with CD34 labeling, the dual immunolabeling method helped improve the evaluation of the quality of peripheral stem cell grafts.

Abstract
Decidual large granular lymphocytes (DLGL) are the most abundant lymphoid cell type found in the first trimester maternal decidua. The function of DLGL remains controversial, although freshly isolated DLGL have been shown to exert a weak NK activity. We report here the phenotypic characterization of two DLGL subpopulations by immunofluorescence, using mAb against CD56, PEN5 as well as adhesion molecules potentially involved in cell-cell contact between DLGL and trophoblasts. DLGL are CD56bright and express the CD2, CD11a, CD18, CD38 and CD50 molecules, dimly the CD54 molecule, and poorly the CD102 and CD69 molecules. A strong expression of the polysialylated form of N-CAM (or CD56) was also observed on the surface of DLGL. Finally, 40% of CD56bright DLGL cells express the PEN5 epitope, which is selectively expressed on CD56dim cells NK in the peripheral blood. No other phenotypic difference was detected between the CD56brightPEN5+ and the CD56brightPEN5- DLGL populations. Our results show that DLGL are heterogeneous and suggest that the CD56brightPEN5+ DLGL subset belongs to the classical NK cell lineage.

Abstract
Four children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia had autologous bone marrow (BM) or peripheral stem cell (PSC) transplantation with low dose of cyclosporine (CsA, img/kg/d i.v. during the first 28 d) to induce an autologous GVHD (auto-GVHD). Two children did not have clinical auto-GVHD and they relapsed 3 and 4 months after treatment. The 2 other children had clinical signs of auto-GVHD (grade I and grade II); they both are in complete remission but after a first normal haematological recovery they had a prolonged period of aplasia until month 9 for 1 patient and still persistent at month 7 in the other case. We studied lymphocyte subsets reconstitution after transplantation in these patients. All patients had an important decrease in the CD4/CD8 ratio related both to a strong decrease in the CD4+ cells and a strong increase in the CD8+ cells. Most of the CD8+ cells were of the CD8bright+ CD28- phenotype. These CD8bright+ CD28- T-cells represented from 33% to 68% of the total lymphocytes. We discuss the role of these cells after autologous transplantation with CsA, and wonder if these cells could mediate cytotoxicity. In conclusion, among 4 children who received autologous BM or PBC transplantation with low dose of CsA, we observed a complete remission after an auto-GVHD and a prolonged period of aplasia in 2 patients and a relapse of leukaemia in 2 other patients. All these 4 patients had an increase in the CD8bright+ CD28- T lymphocytes.

Abstract
RU 41 740 (Biostim) is a glycoprotein extract obtained from Klebsiella pneumoniae. Its immunostimulating properties on monocytes have been established in vivo and in vitro. To confirm its spectrum of action at molecular level we studied its role on the modulation of four molecules involved in antigen presentation (HLA-DR, HLA-DQ), uptake of endotoxin (CD14) and activation (CD23). These four molecules are known to be modulated by interleukins IL-4 and IL-13. We found that HLA-DR, HLA-DQ, CD14 and CD23 were differentially regulated by biostim and IL-4 or IL-13. Surprisingly, Biostim inhibited the IL-4 or IL-13-induced expression of CD23, HLA-DQ and HLA-DR, while it did not have any action on these molecules by itself. We therefore hypothesize that Biostim, through the action on its receptor, could interact with the IL-4 receptor and IL-13 receptor and/or inhibit the IL-4 and IL-13 receptor transducing signal.

Abstract
To acquire some biological markers associated with the occurrence of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) after allogeneic bone marrow transplant (BMT) in children, we have studied the lymphocyte subset reconstitution and the percentage of peripheral blood mononuclear cells bearing HLA-DR and HLA-DQ class II molecules. This study included 37 allogeneic BMT: either with (n = 17) or without (n = 20) aGVHD. Within 2 months after transplantation, we observed that patients with aGVHD had a unique mononuclear cell profile characterized by (i) a significant increase in the percentages of CD8bright+CD28- T cells (P = 0.05) and CD3+ T cells (P = 0.001), (ii) an important decrease in the percentage of CD56+ cells (P = 0.0001), and (iii) a decrease in the percentages of HLA-DQ+ and HLA-DR+ monocytes (P = 0.001) and HLA-DQ+ T lymphocytes (P = 0.0001), in comparison with patients without aGVHD. Moreover, statistical studies indicate that there was a positive correlation between CD8bright+CD28- and CD3+ T cells, whereas CD3+ T cells were negatively correlated to CD56+ cells. We did not find any statistical correlation between the percentages of HLA-DQ+ or HLA-DR+ cells and the percentages of these lymphocyte subsets. Therefore, in this study done in children, we suggest that patients with (i) less than 20% of DQ+ monocytes, (ii) less than 25% of CD56+ lymphocytes, and (iii) an enhanced percentage of CD8bright+CD28- T cells are strongly associated with aGVHD. Unfortunately, these biological markers of a GVHD may not precede the clinical manifestations of the disease.

Abstract
Canine systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a disease clinically very similar to its human counterpart. But so far, no study has reported an accurate evaluation of the lymphocyte subsets in the canine disease. Here, we present a study in which lymphocyte subsets have been evaluated in the peripheral blood of 20 dogs suffering from spontaneous systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in active and inactive phases, before and during treatment with prednisone and levamisole. 22 healthy dogs have been used as a control population. We show that canine SLE in active phases is associated with a several lymphopenia (1050 +/- 520 10(6) cells/l versus 2130 +/- 1 020 10(6) cells/l in controls). A striking finding is the imbalance of the CD4 and CD8 subsets (respectively 56.7 +/- 10.7% and 10.9 +/- 3.8% of CD4+ and CD8+ lymphocytes versus 40.5 +/- 11.5% and 18 +/- 4.4% in controls) and a strong activation of T-cells in active phases (64.1 +/- 16.9% of 2B3+ cells versus 46.5 +/- 16.7%). Moreover, we observed a persistence of the T subset imbalance during spontaneous evolution. In contrast, the treatment induced in dogs showing a good response the correction of CD4/CD8 ratio and no clinical manifestations, whereas in low responders no such improvements were observed. Thus, this work suggests that the main immunological imbalance seen in SLE could be associated with defective suppressor cells and provides further evidence of similarity of human and dog SLE.

Abstract
The presence of hepatitis B surface protein (HBs) and hepatitis B core protein (HBc) was investigated, by flow cytometry, on the surface of peripheral mononuclear cells (PBMC) from cells of the following phenotype: CD3 (T lymphocytes), CD4 (T helper/ inducer), CD8 (T cytotoxic/suppressor), CD19 (B lymphocytes) and CD56 [natural killer (NK) cells] among eight patients suffering from chronic hepatitis B and five healthy HBV-negative subjects. This study demonstrated the presence of HBsAg and HBcAg on the lymphocyte surface for most of the patients. The mean percentage of labelled cells was 17% for HBsAg and 15% for HBcAg. Among the different lymphocyte subsets only B lymphocytes and the NK cells expressed HBsAg for 57% and 26% of cells, respectively. Similarly HBcAg was also detected among CD19 and CD56 cells only. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to search for the presence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA and RNA in PBMC, using primers located in the S gene. HBV DNA was detected with variable intensity in the CD3, CD4, CD19 and CD56 subsets following their separation with a cell sorter. For HBV RNA the signal obtained after PCR and Southern blotting was higher for CD56 and CD19 cells than for CD3 cells and undetectable for CD4 cells. This study demonstrates that replication and transcription of the HBV can occur in CD19- and CD56-positive cells. Positive signals in CD3 cells may be due to contamination of this subpopulation by NK cells.

Abstract
Polyspecific IgG given intravenously at high dose (IVIG) are increasingly used as an immunomodulating therapy in autoimmune diseases. However, very few studies have dealt with the action of IVIG on the expression of the leukocyte markers. During a clinical trial in which 13 young and healthy women received IVIG to prevent unexplained recurrent abortions we have evaluated by flow cytometry the action of IVIG on 17 clusters of leukocyte differentiation (CD). We found that the IVIG perfusions (0.5 g/kg) induced an increase in the number of polymorphonuclear and monocyte cells in the peripheral blood. This effect lasted 8 days. The IVIG treatment had no effect upon T cell populations stained with antibodies specific for CD2, CD3, CD4, CD8 and on CD4+CD45RA+, CD4+CD29+, CD8+CD28+, CD8+CD28- subpopulations. A weak decrease in the B cell number was observed. The most striking phenomenon was the decrease in the number of CD56+ cells, whereas CD16+ and CD57+ cells were unaltered. By the double-staining technique we showed that CD56+CD16+ cells became CD56-CD16+ cells. Moreover, IVIG decrease the expression level of the LFA-1 molecule on monocytes and lymphocytes. The other adhesion molecules studied remained steady (CD11b, CD49d, CD49e, CD29, CD28, and CD62L). This study has shown that IVIG have no effect on 15 of 17 CD used but downmodulate two adhesion molecules playing a key role in the immune system.

Abstract
In order to discover some biological markers of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD), we have studied the percentage of peripheral monocytes and T lymphocytes bearing HLA-DR and HLA-DQ class II molecules. This study included 25 allogeneic BMT in children, either with (n = 10) or without (n = 15) aGVHD. Within 2 months after transplantation, a higher percentage of DQ+ and DR+ monocytes and of DQ+ T lymphocytes was observed in patients without aGVHD compared with patients with aGVHD. The most discriminating marker was the strong increase in the percentage of DQ+ monocytes in patients without aGVHD (P = 0.001). In a sequential study, we observed a low percentage of DQ+ and DR+ peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) as long as the clinical manifestations of aGVHD continued. We speculate if the modulation of DQ and DR molecules on PBMC after BMT is a consequence of the action of some lymphokines, and if it plays a role in the regulation of the acute GVH reaction. We conclude that MHC class II molecules on peripheral mononuclear cells may be reliable biological markers for the diagnosis of aGVHD.

Abstract
Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), the causative agent of feline AIDS, induces a disease syndrome in cats characterized by a decreased lymphocyte-proliferative response to mitogens at all stages of infection and selective depletion of CD4 lymphocyte subsets. In this work, we report that peripheral blood lymphocytes isolated from FIV-infected cats undergo a spontaneous death, in vitro, according to a programmed cell death (PCD) or apoptosis. This phenomenon has also been seen in peripheral blood lymphocytes from HIV-infected humans and SIV-infected macaques. Four different techniques were used to document PCD in FIV-infected cats. DNA gel electrophoresis has shown a DNA fragmentation pattern with DNA fragments displaying sizes corresponding to multiples of oligonucleosomes DNA length unit (180 bp). Transmission electron microscopy revealed condensation of both nuclear chromatin and cytoplasm. An increase in the percentage of fragmented DNA was demonstrated by Burton's technique. In addition, flow cytometric analysis detected a cell population with condensed chromatin. The spontaneous PCD in FIV-infected cats could not be inhibited by RNA synthesis inhibitors or protein synthesis inhibitors. Our results could have implications for understanding the pathogenesis of FIV-infection and establishing specific strategies against apoptosis in cats and humans.

Abstract
Immune deficiency has been reported in haemophiliac patients receiving antihaemophilic factor VIII preparations, but the mechanisms involved in the immunosuppression are not fully understood. By using the proliferative response of peripheral blood mononuclear cells to phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) as a test system, we investigated the inhibitory influence of a very high purity antihaemophilic factor (AHF) preparation on T cell proliferation and on T lymphocyte activation molecules. We observed that this preparation reduced significantly the PHA-induced mononuclear cell proliferation, independently of the monocyte concentration. The AHF preparation did not act through a cytotoxic mechanism or a steric hindrance of PHA. The AHF preparation had no effect on the immediate expression of T lymphocyte activation molecules such as CD54 (ICAM-1). In contrast, the very high purity AHF reduced the induced expression of two early T cell activation molecules: CD25 (interleukin-2 receptor) and CD71 (transferrin receptor). The very high purity AHF also had the capacity to inhibit the up-regulation of two late activation antigens, CD38 and CD11a/CD18, and to inhibit the induced expression of HLA-DR molecule, defined also as a late T cell activation molecule. The CD45R expression level, used as a control marker, was not changed after AHF exposure. The very high purity AHF therefore influenced an early step of cell proliferation. We have also shown that the immunoregulatory properties of the preparation were not restricted to the factor VIII itself, but resulted from the presence of dialysable and low molecular weight components in the preparation.

Abstract
During pregnancy, the fetus is an hemiallograft perfectly tolerated by the mother. With the aim of elucidating the mechanism of this tolerance, we have looked to see whether lymphocyte subsets are modified by pregnancy. Using monoclonal antibodies and flow cytometry, we have studied the changes in the immune profile of normal pregnant women and compared them with non pregnant women. In pregnant women, a significant decrease in the percentage of CD3+ cells is observed in the first trimester (61.1 +/- 14.7% versus 73.8 +/- 6.8%; p less than 0.001). The same data are obtained for CD4+ cells (38.2 +/- 10.7% versus 44.0 +/- 7.0%; p less than 0.05) and CD8+ cells (22.8 +/- 5.6% versus 28.0 +/- 8.9%; p less than 0.05). On the other hand, B lymphocytes (CD19+), monocytes (Leu M3+) and natural killer (NK) cells (Leu7+) remain stable during pregnancy. CD11a+ cells decreased during the 1st and 2nd trimesters. Lastly, activated T lymphocytes (CD3+DR+, CD8+DR+) are not modified. Using absolute numbers, a significant decrease is shown only for CD3+ cells in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters and for CD11a+ cells in the 2nd trimester of pregnancy. The decrease of T lymphocyte subsets, NK and CD11a+ cells during pregnancy partially explains the tolerance for the fetus.

Abstract
We have investigated by flow cytometry the action of dextran sulfate (DxS) on the expression of the LFA-1 molecule in human lymphocytes. This work was undertaken because of the involvement of the LFA-1 molecule in HIV-1 induced syncytia and because of the role of DxS played in the inhibition of syncytia formation. Firstly we detected five distinct topographic regions (epitopes) on the LFA-1 molecule with a panel of 11 monoclonal antibodies (Mabs). Then we demonstrated that DxS interacts with some epitopes mainly present on the alpha chain of the LFA-1 molecule. This inhibition on the LFA-1 expressions by DxS occurs after 1-3 hr of incubation of either 4 or 37 degrees C with complete reappearance of LFA-1 within 1 hr of placing cells in fresh medium. In addition both 5 and 500 kDa have been found to have a similar influence on the inhibition of the LFA-1 expression, while non sulfated dextran have no effect. Other sulfated polyanion (SP) such as heparin and chondroitin sulfate have no effect on the LFA-1 expression. Further at 4 degrees C, DxS does not alter the expression of molecules recognized by Mab such as Leu3a (CD4), Leu2a (CD8), Leu4 (CD3) and Leu5b (CD2). However at 4 degrees C, DxS decreases the expression of CD45R molecule which is recognized by Mab Gap8.3. At 37 degrees C, we observe a decrease also in CD4 expression after DxS exposure. It has also been found that DxS decreases LFA-1 expression to the same extent regardless of the basal expression of LFA-1 in each selected cell subset (LFA-1 low, dim or bright). These results suggest that the inhibitory effect of DxS on the HIV-induced syncytium formation could be due partially to a specific steric hindrance of some LFA-1 determinants.

Abstract
After binding to the CD4 receptor, the human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) may enter the T cell and induce the formation of multinucleated giant cells (syncytia). As well as the CD4 molecule, other molecules, such as the lymphocyte function-associated antigen 1 (LFA-1, CD11a/CD18) have been shown to be involved in HIV-1-mediated cell fusion. This study was designed to define regions on the human CD11a/CD18 molecule important for the HIV-1-induced syncytium formation. A CD11a/CD18 MoAb panel discriminating at least five distinct and spatially distant domains on the LFA-1 molecule was used. Comparison of the functional activity of different MoAbs demonstrated that all epitopes of the LFA-1 molecule were not of equal importance in HIV-1-induced syncytium formation between H9.III cells chronically infected with HIV-1 and uninfected CD4+ SupT1 cells. We also demonstrated that CD11a/CD18 MoAbs inhibit syncytia formation only at the level of the uninfected SupT1 cells, suggesting that the LFA-1 molecule expressed on SupT1 cells interacts with ligand(s) expressed on the infected H9.III cells. Two potential LFA-1 receptors on the H9.III cells were tested: the ICAM-1 molecule (intercellular adhesion molecule 1, CD54) and the HIV-1 transmembrane glycoprotein 41 (gp41). A CD54 MoAb (84H10) partially inhibited syncytia formation, thus demonstrating the involvement of the ICAM-1 molecule in the HIV-1-mediated cell fusion. However, the CD11a/CD18 MoAbs do not inhibit binding of the viral envelope glycoprotein gp41 to the cell surface, irrespective of the MoAb concentration used. Although we have not been successful in identifying all candidate fusion receptors for the LFA-1 molecule, these data suggest that some LFA-1 regions are important for syncytium formation and, therefore, in the cell-to-cell transmission of virus and in the spread of infection.

Abstract
Bone marrow aspirates from 48 healthy donors (34 adults, 14 children) were analyzed by flow cytometry (FACS Analyzer) after purification of low-density bone marrow cells (Ld BMC) on a density gradient (d = 1,077) and labelling with 23 anti-hematopoietic cell monoclonal antibodies. Based on physical properties, these Ld BMC could be divided into four different populations called E, My, Mo and L, which comprised 14% +/- 9%, 31% +/- 16%, 10% +/- 5% and 45% +/- 14% of these cells, respectively. The phenotypic analysis of these different populations enabled the identification in E, of erythrocytes (Glycophorin A+, Rhesus D+, but negative for early erythroid differentiation markers such as the transferrin receptor (Tf. R) and the FA6-152 antigen); in My of cells of the myeloid lineage (VIM2+, HLA DR-); in Mo of cells of the monocytic lineage (VIM2+, CD14+) plus some myeloblasts (VIM2+, CD14-, HLADR+) and finally in L of a heterogeneous population including: 1. T lymphocytes labelled to the same extent by CD2, CD3, CD5 and CD6 (28% +/- 10%), B lymphocytes assessed by CD19 and CD20 (12% +/- 8%), Pre-B cells (CD10+ = 8% +/- 7%), less than 5% of "natural killer" cells (CD16+ or Leu7+) and finally, less than 6% of myelomonocytes (CD14+ and/or VIM2+). 2. The erythroid lineage (rhesus D+ = 42% +/- 20%, Tf.R+ and FA6-152+ = 32% +/- 12%). 3. Undifferentiated cells or progenitor cells (CD34+ = 7% +/- 5%). 4. Cells unlabelled by any antibodies (approximately 6%). We observed no difference between bone marrow samples from adults or children, with respect to physical properties, and with all but four immunological markers. A significantly higher proportion of B cells (CD19+ and CD10+) (P less than 0.001) and undifferentiated cells (CD34+ and HLADR+) (P less than 0.02) was observed in children. These data, obtained from a large number of bone marrow samples, could be used to quantify the imbalance of some bone marrow disorders.

Abstract
Bone marrow aspirates from 28 healthy donors (18 adults, 10 children) were analysed by flow cytometry (FACS analyser) after purification of low density bone marrow cells (Ld BMC) on a density gradient (d = 1,077) and labeling with 23 anti-hematopoietic cells monoclonal antibodies. Based on physical properties the Ld BMC could be divided into four different populations called E, My, Mo et L including 13 +/- 8%, 33 +/- 15%, 12 +/- 5% and 42 +/- 14% of these cells respectively. The phenotypic analysis of these different populations allowed us to identify in E, erythrocytes (glycophorin A+, Rhesus D+ but negative for early erythroid differentiation markers like the transferrin receptor and/or the FA6-152 antigen); in My, the myeloid lineage (VIM2+, HLADR-); in Mo, the monocytic lineage (CD14+) and some myeloblasts (CD14-, VIM2+, HLADR+) and finally in L, an heterogeneous population including: 1) leucocyte cells, in which 27.3 +/- 9.0% are T cells labelled to the same extent by CD2, CD3, CD5 and CD6, 13.2 +/- 5.9% are B cells assessed by CD19 and CD20, 8.3 +/- 5.7% are Pré-B (CD10+), less than 5% are "natural killer" cells (CD16+ or Leu7+) and finally less than 6% are myelomonocytes (CD14+ or VIM12); 2) the erythroid lineage (Rhesus D+ = 43.7 +/- 12.9%, transferrin receptor and FA6-152+ 36.7 +/- 9.6%); 3) undifferentiated cells or progenitor cells (CD34+ = 6.5 +/- 3.5%); 4) cells unlabelled with any antibodies (approximatively 6%). We have not observed difference between adults and children bone marrow in regard to physical properties properties and all but also immunological markers. Indeed, a significant (p less than 0.02) higher proportion of B cells (CD19 and CD10) was observed in children. These data get from a large number of bone marrow could be used to quantify the imbalance of some bone marrow disorders.
