Abstract
A 44 year-old Chinese male presented with lymphoid blast crisis of chronic myeloid leukemia, in which the blast cells exhibited a pre-pre-B cell phenotype (B4+B1-J5+12+smIg-). There was a phenotypic transition during the course of the disease to a more mature B cell phenotype (B4+B1+J5+12+smIgG lambda+). The maturation of blast crisis cells may be related to the chemotherapeutic agents used in the treatment of the disease.

Abstract
Cells from 82 patients with leukemia in acute phase (40 ANLL, 1 AUL, 36 ALL, 5 CGL in blast crisis) were studied for the expression of mature cell markers of the major nonlymphocytic cell lineages (monocytes, granulocytes, erythrocytes and platelets) using monoclonal antibodies. In addition, cells were examined for the presence of HLA-A, B, C antigens, Ia antigens and common ALL antigen, as well as Fc receptors capable of binding murine immunoglobulins. Approximately one-third of ANLL specimens lacked any of the mature-cell differentiation markers studied. These were always in the relatively undifferentiated morphological subgroups (M1 and M2). Some of the specimens in these groups also expressed little or no HLA-A, B, C and/or Ia antigen. Of the lineage-specific MAb, FMC32 and FMC34, which bind to monocytes, and monocytes plus granulocytes respectively, gave the most interesting results. Together with the anti-CALLA antibody J5, they contributed to the differential diagnosis of ANLL and ALL. In addition they detected phenotypic heterogeneity within the FAB types of ANLL, particularly the M1 and M2 groups. Binding of murine IgG2a and IgG3 antibodies, apparently via Fc receptors, was commonly observed with ANLL cells. This is a potentially serious source of "false positives" in studies using murine MAb with human leukemic cells.

Abstract
An association between myelofibrosis (MF) and chronic granulocytic leukemia (CGL) has been recognized. MF is usually a sign of a poor prognosis but its relation to other important parameters of CGL is not known. We observed a 54-year-old, white male patient who was well until May 1983 when he began developing gradually increasing right hip and left shoulder pain. Clinical evaluation 3 months later revealed splenomegaly and a white blood count of 126,000 with 29 segmented neutrophils, 22 bands, 7 metamyelocytes, 11 myelocytes, 6 promyelocytes, 5 blasts, 2 eosinophils, 5 basophils, and 3 lymphocytes. Cytogenetic analysis by G-banding technique showed a male karyotype with all 20 bone marrow cells examined positive for the Philadelphia chromosome. The patient was placed on busulfan therapy with good symptomatic improvement, but later suffered severe thrombocytopenia. At the end of October 1983, he was admitted with blast crisis and thrombocytopenia and was initiated on vincristine and cytosine arabinoside therapy. His bone marrow was repeatedly inaspirable and the biopsy was characterized by diffuse fibrosis. Chromosome analysis of 16 spontaneously dividing cells in the blood at this time revealed that 86% of cells had a karyotype of 46,XY,t(9;22)(q34;q11),t(1;3)(p32;p21) with the rest of the cells having only the Ph chromosome. The patient died 4 months later of intracranial hemorrhage. Chromosome #3 involvement has been reported in acute MF and essential thrombocytosis, but no specific cytogenetic abnormalities have been found in MF associated with CGL. It is unclear whether t(1;3) in this case represents a cytogenetic marker of MF or blast transformation, but it is certainly associated with poor prognosis and short survival.

Abstract
We describe herein the occurrence of a T cell-derived blast crisis of chronic myelocytic leukemia which presented as a typical T cell leukemia on clinical (thymic mass and high white blood cells) and immunological grounds (T6+ T4+ T8+), with rearranged T cell receptor genes and germ line immunoglobulin genes. A Philadelphia chromosome was detected in all blast cell mitoses. The significance of T cell involvement during the chronic and acute phases of chronic myelocytic leukemia is discussed.

Abstract
The emergence of a near-haploid clone of cells in blast phase chronic myelogenous leukemia is an unusual event. We report such a case and review eight other cases described in the English literature. The significance of the substantial loss of genetic material is discussed as is the phenotypic and genotypic heterogeneity observed in this group of patients.

Abstract
The bone marrow of a patient with acute undifferentiated leukemia developed unique colonies after a 14-day culture in erythropoietin (EPO)-containing methylcellulose. The colonies consisted of 20 to 200 nonhemoglobinized large blast cells. Cytogenetic analysis of single colonies revealed hypotetraploid karyotypes with several marker chromosomes that were identical to those found in directly sampled bone marrow. The concurrently formed erythroid bursts showed only normal karyotypes. No leukemic colony formation was observed in other culture systems with either colony-stimulating activity (CSA) or phytohemagglutinin-stimulated leukocyte-conditioned medium (PHA-LCM). The leukemic colonies exhibited a complete EPO-dose dependency similar to that of the patient's normal BFU-E. Although cytochemical and immunologic marker studies of the bone marrow cells failed to clarify the cell lineage of the leukemic cells with extraordinarily large cell size, ultrastructural study revealed erythroid differentiation such as siderosome formation in the cytoplasm and ferritin particles in the rhophecytosis invaginations. These findings indicate that the patient had poorly differentiated erythroid leukemia and that some of the clonogenic cells might respond to EPO in vitro. Corresponding to this biological feature, the leukemic cells were markedly decreased in number in response to repeated RBC transfusions, and partial remission was obtained. These observations suggest that erythroid leukemia distinct from erythroleukemia (M6) with a myeloblastic component, can develop as a minor entity of human acute leukemia.

Abstract
Two cases in myeloid blast phase of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) responded to treatment with plicamycin alone. Their total white blood cell (WBC) count and immature myeloid cells fell in one case rapidly and in the other gradually. Approximately two to three weeks after initiation of plicamycin their total WBC count began to rise again, whereas the mature myeloid cells remained constant throughout the treatment. These results suggest that plicamycin may be effective in suppressing proliferation of blasts and promoting their maturation in the myeloid blast phase of CML, but that plicamycin alone may not be effective enough to sustain duration of response.

Abstract
Immuno-alkaline phosphatase staining (by the APAAP technique) has been used to identify promegakaryoblasts in cell smears from 10 cases of leukaemia (three acute leukaemia, seven blast transformations). In all cases promegakaryoblasts were labelled by at least two anti-platelet glycoprotein (gp) antibodies, the highest percentages being obtained with anti-gp IIIa (antibody C17). HLA-DR was expressed by a variable percentage of neoplastic cells in all cases, the T11 (CD2) antigen (sheep red cell receptor) in four of seven cases tested and the p150,95 antigen in three of the six cases tested. In some cases of acute myeloid leukaemia APAAP staining of blood smears revealed circulating promegakaryoblasts and micromegakaryocytes (which superficially resemble small lymphoid cells). It is concluded that immuno-alkaline phosphatase staining of cell smears offers a convenient means of diagnosing acute megakaryoblastic leukaemia in the routine laboratory.

Abstract
Severe disseminated intravascular coagulation was observed in a patient with Burkitt's lymphoma/leukaemia. Immunological studies on leukaemic blasts from relapsed bone marrow revealed a B-cell phenotype (B4+, B1+, HLA-Dr+, J5+) with membrane bound IgM lambda. Cytogenetic investigation revealed a variant Burkitt's translocation t(8;22)(q24;q11) involving the lambda light chain gene region and abnormalities of chromosomes 15 and 17 with breakpoints at q22 and q12 respectively, similar to those observed in the t(15;17) in acute promyelocytic leukaemia. Transmission electron microscopy of the leukaemic blasts showed crystalline cytoplasmic inclusions which may have had a role in precipitating the disseminated intravascular coagulation.

Abstract
The immunological phenotype of blast cells in 102 patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) was analysed with a panel of 20 monoclonal antibodies and the enzyme terminal transferase, and correlated with the FAB classification. Although a partial correlation between these two approaches could be observed, almost every morphological group contained patients from more than one immunological phenotype. The M1 and M5a leukaemias showed the most undifferentiated phenotype, often lacking in specific myelomonocytic antigens. The M3 formed a uniform group defined as My7+, Ia-, FMC8+, a phenotype which was also observed in two cases of the microgranular variant. The granulocytic (CDw15) and monocytic (CDw14) antibodies crossreacted with some M5b and M2 leukaemias, respectively. Compared with M5a, the M5b leukaemias showed a large increase in the expression of CDw14 antigen, confirming the validity of the morphological differentiation. Glycophorin-A was present in four out of five M6 leukaemias. TdT activity was demonstrated in 10% of AML cases, with a higher incidence among the monocytic variants: M4 and M5-. Eleven AML were considered as unclassifiable according to the FAB criteria and in seven of them a megakaryoblastic cell population (GP IIb/IIIa+, GPIb+) was demonstrated; this confirms the need to include the subgroup of megakaryoblastic leukaemias within the AML. Finally, a possible immunological classification for AML is proposed.
