The immunophenotype of 135 previously untreated patients with FAB defined acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) was studied at diagnosis. The panel of reagents included monoclonal antibodies (MoAb) recognising myeloid-associated determinants (CD11, CD13, CD14, CD33 and others) as well as MoAb directed towards lymphoid antigens (CD7, CD10, CD19) and TdT. The results indicate that CD13 and/or CD33 are consistently expressed in AML and only rarely in ALL blasts (131/135 + ve cases, versus 4/130 in ALL). Lymphoid antigen expression was rarely detected when CD10 and CD19 were investigated in AML (0.9% and 2% + ve cases, respectively), whereas significant positivities were found for TdT and CD7 (20% and 10% respectively). Concerning FAB subtypes, two new MoAb (LAM3 and LAM7) proved very useful in the specific recognition of AML with monocytic features. The phenotype CD13+ and/or CD33+, CD9+, HLA-DR- was found to be almost exclusive for M3 AML. The response to induction chemotherapy was analysed in CD7+ and in TdT+ patients. In the latter group a statistically significant lower response rate was found with respect to TdT-ve-AML patients.  相似文献

Two types of dendritic cells (DC) are circulating in human blood and can be identified by their differential expression of the myeloid Ag CD11c. In this study, we show that CD11c- peripheral blood (PB)-DC correspond to plasmacytoid DC of lymphoid tissue not only by their surface Ag expression profile but, more impressively, by their peculiar ultramorphology. We also demonstrate that CD11c- and CD11c+ DC differ in the quality of their response to and in their requirement for certain cytokines. Freshly isolated CD11c- cells depend on IL-3 for survival and use autocrine or exogenous TNF-alpha as maturation signal, leading to the appearance of a highly dendritic phenotype, the up-regulation and redistribution of MHC class II from lysosomal compartments to the plasma membrane, the increased expression of costimulatory molecules, and the switch from a high Ag-processing to a low Ag-processing/potent accessory cell mode. Surprisingly, IL-4 efficiently killed freshly isolated CD11c- PB-DC, but did not impair the viability of CD11c+ PB-DC and, together with GM-CSF, induced maturation of these cells. A direct functional comparison revealed that neo-Ag-modified and subsequently matured CD11c- but to a lesser extent CD11c+ DC were able to prime naive Ag-specific CD4+ T cells. Our findings show that two diverse DC types respond to certain T cell-derived cytokines in a differential manner and, thus, suggest that suppression or activation of functionally diverse DC types may be a novel mechanism for the regulation of the quantity and quality of immune responses.  相似文献

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is believed to arise from leukemic stem-like cells (LSC) making understanding the biological differences between LSC and normal stem cells (HSC) or common myeloid progenitors (CMP) crucial to understanding AML biology. To determine if protein expression patterns were different in LSC compared to other AML and CD34+ populations, we measured the expression of 121 proteins by Reverse Phase Protein Arrays (RPPA) in 5 purified fractions from AML marrow and blood samples: Bulk (CD3/CD19 depleted), CD34-, CD34+(CMP), CD34+CD38+ and CD34+CD38-(LSC). LSC protein expression differed markedly from Bulk (n=31 cases, 93/121 proteins) and CD34+ cells (n= 30 cases, 88/121 proteins) with 54 proteins being significantly different (31 higher, 23 lower) in LSC than in either Bulk or CD34+ cells. Sixty-seven proteins differed significantly between CD34+ and Bulk blasts (n=69 cases). Protein expression patterns in LSC and CD34+ differed markedly from normal CD34+ cells. LSC were distinct from CD34+ and Bulk cells by principal component and by protein signaling network analysis which confirmed individual protein analysis. Potential targetable submodules in LSC included the proteins PU.1(SP1), P27, Mcl1, HIF1α, cMET, P53, Yap, and phospho-Stats 1, 5 and 6. Protein expression and activation in LSC differs markedly from other blast populations suggesting that studies of AML biology should be performed in LSC.  相似文献

Dendritic cells (DCs) have a unique ability to stimulate naive T cells. Recent evidence suggests that distinct DC subsets direct different classes of immune responses in vitro and in vivo. In humans, the monocyte-derived CD11c+ DCs induce T cells to produce Th1 cytokines in vitro, whereas the CD11c- plasmacytoid T cell-derived DCs elicit the production of Th2 cytokines. In this paper we report that administration of either Flt3-ligand (FL) or G-CSF to healthy human volunteers dramatically increases distinct DC subsets, or DC precursors, in the blood. FL increases both the CD11c+ DC subset (48-fold) and the CD11c- IL-3R+ DC precursors (13-fold). In contrast, G-CSF only increases the CD11c- precursors (>7-fold). Freshly sorted CD11c+ but not CD11c- cells stimulate CD4+ T cells in an allogeneic MLR, whereas only the CD11c- cells can be induced to secrete high levels of IFN-alpha, in response to influenza virus. CD11c+ and CD11c- cells can mature in vitro with GM-CSF + TNF-alpha or with IL-3 + CD40 ligand, respectively. These two subsets up-regulate MHC class II costimulatory molecules as well as the DC maturation marker DC-lysosome-associated membrane protein, and they stimulate naive, allogeneic CD4+ T cells efficiently. These two DC subsets elicit distinct cytokine profiles in CD4+ T cells, with the CD11c- subset inducing higher levels of the Th2 cytokine IL-10. The differential mobilization of distinct DC subsets or DC precursors by in vivo administration of FL and G-CSF offers a novel strategy to manipulate immune responses in humans.  相似文献

Based on the relative expression of CD11c and CD1a, we have identified three fractions of dendritic cells (DCs) in human peripheral blood, including a direct precursor of Langerhans cells (LCs). The first two fractions were CD11c+ DCs, comprised of a major CD1a+/CD11c+ population (fraction 1), and a minor CD1a-/CD11c+ component (fraction 2). Both CD11c+ fractions displayed a monocyte-like morphology, endocytosed FITC-dextran, expressed CD45RO and myeloid markers such as CD13 and CD33, and possessed the receptor for GM-CSF. The third fraction was comprised of CD1a-/CD11c- DCs (fraction 3) and resembled plasmacytoid T cells. These did not uptake FITC-dextran, were negative for myeloid markers (CD13/CD33), and expressed CD45RA and a high level of IL-3Ralpha, but not GM-CSF receptors. After culture with IL-3, fraction 3 acquired the characteristics of mature DCs; however, the expression of CD62L (lymph node-homing molecules) remained unchanged, indicating that fraction 3 can be a precursor pool for previously described plasmacytoid T cells in lymphoid organs. Strikingly, the CD1a+/CD11c+ DCs (fraction 1) quickly acquired LC characteristics when cultured in the presence of GM-CSF + IL-4 + TGF-beta1. Thus, E-cadherin, Langerin, and Lag Ag were expressed within 1 day of culture, and typical Birbeck granules were observed. In contrast, neither CD1a-/CD11c+ (fraction 2) nor CD1a-/CD11c- (fraction 3) cells had the capacity to differentiate into LCs. Furthermore, CD14+ monocytes only expressed E-cadherin, but lacked the other LC markers after culture in these cytokines. Therefore, CD1a+/CD11c+ DCs are the direct precursors of LCs in peripheral blood.  相似文献

A brief incubation with PMA or other secretagogues has been reported to enhance the expression of C3 receptors on myeloid cells. We now observed increases up to threefold in the expression of the CD11b/CD18 Ag (CR3) and the CD11c/CD18 (CR4, p150,95) Ag after 30-min incubation with PMA on a subpopulation of PBL. The majority of these cells was CD56+ and CD16+. Isolated NK cells retained their ability to respond to PMA with increased CD11b and CD11c membrane Ag expression. Preincubation of the cells with cycloheximide did not abrogate the effects of PMA. Other membrane molecules on lymphocytes (CD11a, CD35, CD45, CD45R0, CD56) were not modulated by PMA. Purified C5a, FMLP, or LPS increased CR3 on myeloid cells but not on lymphocytes. In contrast, cell activation by K562 cells led to an augmentation of the CD11b Ag expression on CD56+ lymphocytes but not on other lymphocytes or monocytes. This increase was inhibitable by CD11a mAb. Rapid increases of CD11b and CD11c Ag on the membrane of NK cells may be of biologic significance because many functions have been attributed to these molecules.  相似文献

Human leukocyte antigen-G (HLA-G) molecule exerts multiple immunoregulatory functions that have been suggested to contribute to the immune evasion of tumour cells. Studies on HLA-G expression in malignant haematopoietic diseases are controversial, and the functions of HLA-G on this context are limited. In the current study, HLA-G expression was analysed in different types of patients: de novo acute myeloid leukaemia (AML, n = 54), B cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (B-ALL, n= 13), chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML, n= 9) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS, n= 11). HLA-G expression was observed in 18.5% cases of AML, 22.2% in CML and 18.2% in MDS, but not in B-ALL patients. In AML, HLA-G-positive patients had a significant higher bone marrow leukaemic blast cell percentage when compared with that of HLA-G-negative patients (P < 0.01). Total T-cell percentage was dramatically decreased in HLA-G-positive patients (P < 0.05). Cytogenetic karyotyping results showed that all HLA-G-positive AML patients (n= 5) were cytogenetically abnormal, which was markedly different from that of HLA-G-negative patients (P < 0.01). Ex vivo cytotoxicity analysis revealed that HLA-G expression in AML leukaemic cells could directly inhibit NK cell cytolysis (P < 0.01). These findings indicated that HLA-G expression in AML is of unfavourable clinical implications, and that HLA-G could be a potential target for therapy.  相似文献

A total of 412 cases of acute leukaemia were examined for the presence of nuclear terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) by indirect immunofluorescence. Of the 129 cases of acute myeloblastic leukaemia (AML FAB groups M1/M2) examined, 18% (n = 23) had significant proportions (greater than 10%) of TdT-positive blasts. Although most of these AML cases (n = 18) were of poorly differentiated (M1) type; 5 cases of AML showing features of granulocytic differentiation (M2) were also found to be TdT-positive. Even though TdT was generally more strongly expressed in the M1 group and associated with other markers of myeloid immaturity (Ia positive and lack of chloroacetate esterase), there was no inverse relationship with Sudan black or myeloperoxidase activity. In addition, although the proportion of AML-M1 cases with increased TdT-positive cells was slightly higher (18/95, 19%) than for the AML-M2 group (5/34, 15%) the results suggest that the presence of nuclear TdT in leukaemic myeloblasts may not only reflect cellular immaturity but may also be due to maturational asynchrony in otherwise well-differentiated blasts.  相似文献

Clinical animal models and in vitro data afford evidence for anti-leukaemia immunity. Many reports have underlined the interest of interleukin-7 (IL-7) use in cancer and its pivotal role in immune recognition. This cytokine, initially identified as a B cell growth factor, enhances the anti-tumour properties of immune effector cells via T lymphocyte activation, increased specific cytotoxicity and cytokine secretion. Nonetheless, few data are available regarding the effect of IL-7 on the expression at the leukaemia cell surface of molecules involved in the immune response, which defective expression could induce tolerance or anergy. This prompted us to study the effects of IL-7 on 20 cases of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) and 9 cases of lymphoid leukaemia (ALL), in comparison with gamma-interferon, a potent inducer of immune regulation molecule expression. In AML and ALL, IL-7 increased MHC class I molecule expression, while class II molecules were weakly modified. The expression of the tumour necrosis factor family members CD40 and Fas/CD95, together with the adhesion molecules ICAM-1/CD54 and CD58/LFA-3, was also increased in both types of leukaemia. The IL-7 was an efficient inducer of B7-2/CD86 expression in AML and ALL, while increased expression of B7-1/CD80 was only observed in AML. In the corresponding, co-cultured T lymphocyte population, IL-7 more particularly increased B7-1/CD80 and CD58/LFA-3 expression. Finally, pre-incubation of leukaemic cells with IL-7 increased the proliferation of responding, normal allogenic T lymphocytes and their secretion of gamma-IFN and IL-2 in mixed the lymphocyte-tumour reaction. We concluded that IL-7 is efficient at increasing the membrane expression of molecules which are central for the development of the immune response, and at improving allogenic immune recognition. The clinical implications of such data require further in vivo investigation.  相似文献

Anti-CD3 (T3) Ab reacting with different proportions of thymocytes (anti-CD3a: UCHT1, anti-CD3b: T10B9, and anti-CD3c: OKT3) were tested for cytoplasmic (cCD3) and membrane (mCD3) expression in the bone marrow, thymus, and blood in man and selected primates. The expression of cCD3a and cCD3c in the perinuclear and Golgi area of large, BrdU-incorporating, strongly TdT+ thymic blasts probably represents one of the earliest signs of T cell commitment, because these blast cells are CD1-, CD4-, CD8-, and mCD3-. The cCD3+, TdT+ cells are normally restricted to the thymus and are absent among the TdT+ cells of bone marrow. The anti-CD3b Ab used, T10B9, co-caps and co-modulates with the other anti-CD3 Ab and is a T cell-specific reagent at a membrane level but does not bind to perinuclear cCD3. Instead, this reagent cross-reacts with a filamentous cytoplasmic network in non-T cells in man and in primates S. oedipus and M. rhesus despite their T cell negativity for mCD3. The characteristics of all T-ALL cases studied: cCD3+, CD7+ along with nuclear TdT+ suggest lineage fidelity to early thymic blasts. As a marked contrast, cCD3 is absent in common ALL and in AML, including cases that concomitantly express CD7 and myeloid antigens. Thus, the cCD3, TdT combination provides a very sensitive assay for residual T-ALL blasts outside the normal thymus.  相似文献

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 13 patients with acute leukaemia were used to establish long-term interleukin-2-dependent cytotoxic T lymphocytes. Cells were grown in RPMI medium containing interleukin-2 (IL-2, 100 U/ml) and 2.5% conditioned medium prepared by activating normal lymphocytes with phytohaemagglutinin. Proliferation of IL-2-dependent CD3-positive lymphocytes was seen in 1 of 2 acute lymphocytic leukaemia cases (ALL), 1 of 4 acute myelogeneous leukaemia cases (AML) (M1) and 8 of 8 more differentiated AML. In 2 cases with detectable leukaemic cell markers (1 ALL and 1 AML) passageable cells were developed, that expressed normal T cell phenotypes (namely CD3, CD4, and CD8) at the expense of leukaemic cells. In 1 of 2 cases, long-term IL-2-cultured cells showed specific cytotoxic activity against autologous leukemic cells. The percentage killing against autologous and two allogeneic target cell lines at a 50/1 effector/target (E/T) ratio was 42%, 9% and 19% respectively. Similarly the cytotoxic activity of IL-2 activated from 4 different individuals against conventional tumour targets K562 and Daudi at a ratio of 50/1 was 29%–68% (median=55%) and 34%–78% (median=61%) respectively. It was also found that this killing potential of the activated cells was maintained for as long as culture was continued (median 23 days, range 17–75 days). The mechanism(s) of T cell proliferation at the expense of leukaemic blast cells in the case of a minority of leukaemic patients and the possible clinical therapeutic potential of these cells following in vitro IL-2 activation deserve further investigation.  相似文献

目的:探讨CD11c抗原在慢性淋巴细胞白血病(chronic lymphocytic leukemia,CLL)中的表达及在临床诊断中的价值,以及CD11c抗原表达与患者的遗传学异常及预后参数的相关性。方法:采用多参数流式细胞术(flow cytometry,FCM)检测200例CLL患者、49例套细胞淋巴瘤(mantle cell lymphoma,MCL)患者CD11c的表达率和平均荧光强度(mean fluorescence intensity,MFI);并比较CLL患者CD11c的表达与预后参数ZAP-70和CD38表达的关系;同时采用荧光原位杂交(fluorescence in situ hybridization,FISH)技术检测CLL患者的P53缺失、13q14缺失、ATM缺失、6q23缺失、+12以及IGH重排,比较CD11c~+CLL患者与CD11c~-CLL患者遗传学特点。结果:CLL患者中CD11c阳性率为49.5%(99/200),MFI中位值为2.06(1.00~7.34);而MCL患者中CD11c阳性率为6.12%(3/49),MFI中位值为2.00(1.97~2.54)。CD11c在CLL中的表达率明显高于MCL,(x~2=30.62,P0.05)。CD11c~+CLL患者的ZAP-70和CD38阳性率均明显高于CD11c~-CLL患者(x~2=15.472,P0.05;x~2=11.556,P0.05),差异有统计学意义。而CLL患者的CD11c表达率与P53缺失、13q14缺失、ATM缺失、6q23缺失、+12、IGH重排的结果均无统计学差异。结论:CD11c对于辅助诊断CLL有重要价值,尤其有助于CLL和MCL的诊断和鉴别诊断。  相似文献

The metalloprotease 9 (MMP-9), a known mediator of tumour invasion, is secreted as a 92kDa pro-form but a non-secreted variant of 85 Kda has been described. The importance of this variant pro-form in tumour progression remains poorly defined. We previously showed that the DNA repair protein Ku interacts at the cell surface of leukaemia cell lines with the 85 Kda pro-form of MMP-9 and these Ku/MMP-9 complexes regulates cell invasion, highlighting their importance in haematological malignancies. We demonstrate here that all samples of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) blasts purified from bone marrow of 16 affected patients express the 85 Kda form of MMP-9. However, only AML that display monocytic lineage markers (AML4/5) express this form at the cell surface with co-expression of the membrane associated form of Ku. Blocking antibodies directed against Ku or MMP-9 specifically inhibited cell invasion of those expressing Ku/MMP-9 on the cell surface. The membrane form of Ku might represent an important factor in the exposition to the cell surface of this specific MMP-9 pro-form in AML with monocytic features. These results might have important functional significance in the occurrence of extra-medullar infiltrates of leukaemia cells that occurs frequently during the onset of monocyte-related AML sub-types.  相似文献

The proliferation of human monocytic Mono Mac 6 cells was significantly retarded by treatment with lovastatin (LOV, 10 μM) for 72 h. Treatment of Mono Mac 6 cells with LOV increased surface protein expression of monocyte-associated CD14 and the integrin-chain CD11b towards levels found in isolated human blood monocytes. These effects were dose-dependent and completely reversed by the isoprenoid precursor mevalonate (MVA). LOV failed to induce growth retardation and upregulation of CD11b or CD14 in the less mature premonocytic U937 cell line. While CD11b expression was comparable in Mono Mac 6 cells treated with LOV (10 μM), TNF (100 U ml?1) or LPS (10 ng ml?1), upregulation of CD14 by LOV was less pronounced. Basal CD23 expression was unaffected by LOV but markedly reduced by treatment with TNF or LPS. Moreover, LOV enhanced Mono Mac 6 adhesiveness to human umbilical vein endothelial cells to levels found in isolated human blood monocytes, probably due to the increased CD11b and CD14 expression. In conclusion, LOV can induce differentiation of monocytic cells which is reflected by the retardation of growth, expression of CD14 and CD11b, and enhanced adhesiveness.  相似文献

Aminopeptidase N (CD13) was recently identified as a molecular target of the cholesterol absorption inhibitor Ezetimib. Regarding that CD13 is expressed in lipid rafts of monocytic cells, we have investigated whether Ezetimib influences raft function in these cells. Expression of raft-associated antigens (CD11b, CD13, CD14, CD16, CD36, and CD64) was followed by flow cytometry and/or immunoblot in human monocyte-derived macrophages in response to in vitro administration of Ezetimib. Cellular redistribution of CD13 was assessed by confocal imaging. Ezetimib significantly decreased the surface expression of CD13, CD16, CD64, and CD36; furthermore, it induced a shift of CD13 from plasma membrane to intracellular vesicles, and thus it quite likely modulated monocytic raft-assembly.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: Megakaryocytes are classically identified by their cellular morphology and expression of platelet glycoproteins. METHODS: In this study, the expression of GPIIIa (CD61) on hemopoietic cells was analyzed by dual-fluorescence flow cytometry. RESULTS: All monocytic cells (CD14+) were shown to coexpress CD61. As the expression of platelet protein on these monocytic cells cannot be reduced by treating the cells with anticoagulant (ethlyenediaminetetraacetic acid [EDTA]), this observation is not simply due to platelet adhesion. When sorted CD61(lo)CD14+ cells were studied by light and electron microscopy, platelets or platelet fragments could not be detected on the cell surface. These cells were found to have typical monocytic morphology but no megakaryocytic characteristics. CONCLUSIONS: This finding demonstrates that without careful definition, the quantitation of megakaryocytic cells will be inappropriately high. A clear and unambiguous criteria for the identification of megakaryocytic cells is described based on the high expression of platelet glycoprotein (e.g., CD61(hi) or CD41(hi)) but not the monocyte marker (CD14(neg)).  相似文献

BACKGROUND: DC are commonly defined as HLA-DR+/Lin- cells that can be CD11c+ + + CD123+/ -, termed DC1/myeloid DC that induce a Th1 response, or CD11c- CD123+ + +, termed DC2/lymphoid DC that induce a Th2 response. However, significant heterogeneity within DC preparations is apparent and supports the existence of several distinct DC subpopulations. This study aimed to expand and characterize CD34+ DC for use in immunotherapy. METHODS: CD34+ cells were seeded at 1 x 10(5)/mL and expanded for 14 days in RPMI + 10% autologous plasma supplemented with GM-CSF, IL-4, Flt-3L and SCF. Maturation was induced with TNF-alpha and PGE2 for 2 days. DC were analyzed morphologically, phenotypically with a panel of MAb to lineage and DC markers, and functionally in MLR, T-cell assays and T-cell cytokine secretion by ELISA. RESULTS: Significant cellular expansion was observed: 60+/-5 x 10(6) DC from 1 x 10(6) CD34+ cells (n=28). Phenotypically DC were characterized as HLA-DR+ +, CD11c+ + +, CD80+ +, CD83+, CD86+ +, CD123+ +, CD15+ +, CD33+ +, BDCA-1+ +, CD4+ and Lin-. DC displayed potent allostimulatory capacity and efficient presentation of KLH and tetanus toxin. DC-primed T cells secreted IFN-gamma (Th1); however, no detectable IL-4 (Th2) was noted. DISCUSSION: We present features of CD34+ DC that have not been previously described. The CD34+ DC generated represent a population of myeloid DC functioning as DC1 but phenotypically expressing markers characteristic of both DC1 and DC2. This novel DC population is capable of inducing naive T-cell responses and can be expanded to clinically useful numbers. CD34+-derived DC represent attractive candidates for use in adoptive T-cell immunotherapy.  相似文献

IL-10, an anti-inflammatory cytokine, has been shown to exhibit stimulatory functions including CD14 up-regulation on human monocytic cells. CD14-mediated signaling following LPS stimulation of monocytic cells results in the synthesis of proinflammatory cytokines. Our results show that LPS-induced CD14 expression on monocytic cells may be mediated by endogenously produced IL-10. To investigate the molecular mechanism by which IL-10 enhances CD14 expression, both human monocytes and the promyelocytic HL-60 cells were used as model systems. IL-10 induced the phosphorylation of PI3K and p42/44 ERK MAPK. By using specific inhibitors for PI3K (LY294002) and ERK MAPKs (PD98059), we demonstrate that LY294002 either alone or in conjunction with PD98059 inhibited IL-10-induced phosphorylation of STAT-1 and consequently CD14 expression. However, IL-10-induced STAT-3 phosphorylation remained unaffected under these conditions. Finally, STAT-1 interfering RNA inhibited IL-10-induced CD14 expression. Taken together, these results suggest that IL-10-induced CD14 up-regulation in human monocytic cells may be mediated by STAT-1 activation through the activation of PI3K either alone or in concert with the ERK MAPK.  相似文献

Dendritic cells (DCs) are the key antigen-presenting cells controlling the initiation of the T cell- dependent immune response. Currently, two peripheral blood DC subsets have been identified on the basis of their CD11c expression. The CD11c-negative (CD11c-) DCs (expressing high levels of CD123) are designated as lymphoid-derived DCs (DC2), whereas the CD11c+/CD123- cells, do identify the myeloid-derived DCs (DC1). A growing number of studies have been conducted in recent years on both the quantitative and functional alterations of DCs and their subsets in different pathological conditions. In the present study we assessed, using two different flow cytometric (FCM) techniques, the normal profile of blood DCs in 50 italian adult healthy subjects (M/F: 25/25, median age 42.5 years, range 20-65). The percentage and the absolute number of DCs and their subsets, were obtained starting from whole blood samples in two ways: 1) by calculating the number of DCs when gated as lineage-negative/ HLA-DR+ and identifing the two subsets as CD11c+ (DC1) and CD123+ (DC2) and 2) by using three specific markers: BDCA.1 (CD11c+ high/CD123+ low, myeloid DCs); BDCA.2 (CD11c-/ CD123+high, lymphoid DCs); BDCA.3 (CD11c+low /CD123-, myeloid DCs). Six parameters, 4-color FCM analysis were perfomed with a BD FACSCanto equipment. The mean values of the percentage and of the absolute number were: 0.5+/-0.2% and 30+/-11 cells/microL for DCs; 0.2+/-0.1% and 15+/-6 cells/microL for DC1; 0.2+/-0.1% and 15+/-7 cells/microL for DC2. The same values were: 0.2+/-0.1% and 16+/-7 cells/microL for BDCA.1; 0.2+/-0.1% and 12+/-7 cells/microL for BDCA.2; 0.02+/-0.01% and 2+/-1 cells/microL for BDCA.3, respectively. Our study confirmes that the two types of FCM analysis are able to identify the DC population. We also provides the first reference values on normal rates and counts of blood DCs in italian adult healthy subjects.  相似文献

目的:探讨髓细胞性白血病(AML)患儿PTEN蛋白表达及其与免疫表型的关系。方法:选择AML患儿143例,根据免疫表型的不同分为两组:免疫分型为LY+AML型59例,LY-AML84例。所有患儿都给予免疫表型分析,检测PTEN蛋白表达情况并进行相关性分析。结果:LY+AML患儿CD34+阳性、CD117+阳性比例显著高于LY-AML患儿(P 0.05),染色体核型异常比例显著低于LY-AML患儿(P 0.05)。LY+AML患儿的PTEN蛋白表达量为(65.33±2.34)%,阳性表达率为94.9%;而LY-AML分别为(20.11±4.11)%和13.1%,与LY+AML患儿对比差异都有统计学意义(P 0.05)。在AML患儿中,Spearman相关分析显示PTEN蛋白表达水平与免疫分型呈现显著相关性(r=0.653,P=0.000)。多因素logistic回归方法显示PTEN蛋白表达、CD34+阳性、CD117+阳性、染色体核型异常为影响AML患儿免疫表型的主要独立危险因素(OR=1.098、1.045、1.092、0.294,P 0.05)。结论:AML患儿骨髓单个核细胞的PTEN蛋白表达上调使得LY+AML型发生风险显著增加,可作为AML患儿病情判断与预后预测的参考指标之一。  相似文献
