Abstract
Reed-Sternberg cells from ten cases of Hodgkin's disease were examined by the direct immunofluorescence technique, for their affinity for nine lectins. The surrounding lymphocytes and monocytes of HD tissue were also assessed for their ability to bind lectins. RS cells showed considerable heterogeneity of reaction. Overall, there was a marked decrease in the binding of most of the lectins studied in HD cases as compared to normal peripheral blood mononuclear cells. This was particularly evident for RCA, PHA and PNA binding. It is suggested that there is a defect in carbohydrate metabolism, with fewer lectin-binding sites on both RS cells and on the mononuclear cell populations in Hodgkin's disease. Further quantitative work is required to verify this.

Abstract
When stained for reactive sialyl groups with fluorescein-labelled Aprotinin (FLA), lymphocytes of three diffuse lymphomas were uniformly faintly fluorescent. The nodules of a nodular lymphocytic lymphoma showed dimly fluorescing lymphocytes surrounded by brightly fluorescing, apparently normal cells. The spleens of eight patients with Hodgkin's disease showed involvement in six cases. With FLA, the two uninvolved spleens contained only brightly fluorescing lymphocytes, whereas the foci of Hodgkin's lesions in the six spleens and in eight involved lymph nodes from a further eight patients contained varying proportions of brightly and dimly fluorescing lymphoid cells. Mononuclear Hodgkin's cells and bi- or multinucleated Reed-Sternberg cells fluoresced faintly. Fluorescein-labelled Ricinus communis agglutinin (FL-RCA) for galactose, and Concanavalin A (FL-Con A) for mannose or glucose, showed eosinophils, reticulin and collagen fibres especially in nodular sclerosing Hodgkin's disease, whereas all lymphocytes, Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg cells stained faintly with either lectin. The reduction of reactive sialyl groups in malignant lymphocytes of lymphomas and Hodgkin's lesions is similar to that in lymphocytic leukaemias. It is suggested that in Hodgkin's disease these lymphocytes together with the Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg cells represent the malignant component, whereas the brightly fluorescent normal lymphocytes, together with histiocytes, eosinophils (and neutrophils) represent a reactive component in the lesions. Similarly, the reactive lymphocytes in sarcoid lesions and sinus histiocytosis were brightly fluorescing.

Abstract
Since reports of lymphocyte capping in muscular dystrophies of various authors revealed controversial results, we investigated 47 patients and carriers with Duchenne or Becker-Kiener muscular dystrophy according to different methods. There was no significant reduction of cap formation compared to 64 healthy controls, both groups showing a mean of about 75% caps. Reduced numbers of caps, however, could be demonstrated in three otherwise healthy probands aged 70 years or more, two patients under interferon treatment, four patients under high dose methotrexate therapy as well as one patient with untreated chronic myeloic leukemia. Thus lymphocyte capping in our experience is far from being a valid method for carrier detection or prenatal diagnosis of muscular dystrophies.

Abstract
The data show that in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) there are elevated numbers of peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) capable of rosette formation (complement-rosetting lymphocytes, CRL) with bacteria (B)-antibody-(A)-complement (C) (BAC) complexes. In most of the CLL patients studied, large percentages of CRL were impaired in their ability to undergo BAC-C3R cap formation compared to normal donors. The degree of impairment varied from one patient to the next. A consideration of clinical information suggested that the variation was related to the clinical response of patients to chemotherapy. Four categories of CLL patients could be identified on the basis of clinical data: (1) patients never received therapy for CLL; (2) those whose clinical history indicated a failure to respond to ongoing chemotherapy; (3) patients who had received successful prior chemotherapy and who were asymptomatic or stable and were receiving no therapy at the time of study; and (4) those who were undergoing therapy at the time of study and who subsequently became stable or asymptomatic and were removed from therapy. The first two categories of patients failed to show significant BAC-C3R capping, whereas the last two were able to form C3R caps on significant percentages of CRL. No direct relationship could be discerned between C3R capping and currently accepted classifications on stages (Rai) of CLL. These results suggest that monitoring the percentages of BAC-C3R cap-forming CRL may be useful in determining the success of chemotherapy of CLL patients. The microtubule-disrupting agent colchicine enhanced BAC-C3R capping in all CLL patients to normal levels, whereas the microfilament-disrupting agents cytochalasin B(CB) had no effect on CLL RBL C3R capping. CB totally abolished C3R capping of CRL from normal donors. These results suggest that abnormalities exist in both cytoskeletal and contractile systems of CR from CLL peripheral blood.

Abstract
Normal and leukaemic lymphoid cells, both human and murine, were stained for specific carbohydrates with three fluorescein-labelled lectins: Aprotinin for sialyl (or uronyl) groups: Ricinus agglutinin for galactosyl groups; and Concanavalin A for mannosyl (or glucosyl) groups. The method gives permanent preparations of sections from methanol fixed, paraffin embedded tissues, from blood and bone marrow films or touch preparations of lymph nodes that were methanol fixed. Whereas normal lymphocytes and lymphoblasts reacted strongly for sialyl groups, lymphoblasts of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia and lymphocytes of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia gave a much weaker reaction. The same was the case of the lymphocytes of the Sézary variant and the lymphocytes of macroglobulinaemia. The fine processes of the cells of hairy cell leukaemia stained well for sialyl groups. No obvious differences were detected between normal monocytes and the cells of monocytic leukaemia, nor between normal plasma cells and those of myeloma.

Abstract
Hairy cells from 5 patients with greater than 25% hairy cells in the peripheral blood (4 had greater than 45% hairy cells and white blood cell counts (WBC) greater than 10,000/mm3) were studied for surface immunoglobulin (SIg) presence and distribution by two methods, for lectin-induced cap formation, and for phagocytosis of zymosan. Hairy cells from all 5 cases were found to have distinct monoclonal patterns, 2 Gk, 1 MDk, 1 Dk, and 1 GMDk, as well as cap formation with SIg. All 5 cases showed distinct lectin-induced cap formation in a percentage of cells similar to the percentage of hairy cells, and 2 of the 5 patients had hairy cells which phagocytosed zymosan. These findings contrasted with the malignant cells from 4 patients with CLL, which had monoclonal SIg but no SIg cap formation and no significant percentage of lectin-induced cap formation. Cells from 2 cases of T cell lymphomas had no SIg and no lectin-induced cap formation as did cells from 2 cases of non-lymphocytic leukemia. Hairy cells not only appear to have SIg cap formation similar to some B-lymphocytes, which in some patients also phagocytose zymosan, but also demonstrate strong lectin-induced cap formation.

Abstract
The evolution of our concepts concerning the fundamental nature and natural history of Hodgkin's disease is reviewed. Recent evidence establishes that it is indeed a malignant neoplasm, albeit a curious one, the giant cells of which display aneuploid karyotypes, often with marker chromosomes indicating their clonal derivation, and the functional and surface marker properties of cells of the mononuclear phagocyte series. The disease tends initially to spread by contiguity from one lymph node chain to others with which direct lymphatic channel communications exist. Essentially all patients, even those with limited disease, have some degree of impairment of cell-mediated immunity, apparently due to inhibition of T-lymphocyte function. Lymphangiography, computed tomography, and laparotomy with splenectomy have greatly improved the accuracy of clinical staging. Total lymphoid megavoltage radiotherapy and/or multidrug combination chemotherapy now permit the eradiction of disease of all stages, resulting in a dramatic improvement in prognosis and an increasing frequency of permanent cure of this once inevitably fatal condition.

Abstract
Selected properties of peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) from five ambulatory affected individuals of a kindred with autosomal dominant cerebrovascular amyloidosis were studied. The percentage of PBLs bearing surface membrane immunoglobulin (SmIg+ cells) was increased in the patient group (30 +/- 3% versus 20 +/- 2%; p less than 0.05). The percentage of PBLs forming early and total E-rosettes was comparable in patient and control groups. Mitogenic response to concanavalin A (Con A) was suggestively reduced in the patient group, measured both by total 3H-thymidine incorporation and by comparison of stimulation indices. Mitogenic response to phytohemagglutinin and pokeweed was comparable in the two groups. Capping of Con A by PBLs was significantly reduced in the patient group compared with the controls (13 +/- 1% versus 26 +/- 2%; p less than 0.01). The findings of reduced Con A response and increased SmIg+ cells support the hypothesis that immune dysfunction contributes to the development of amyloidosis. The reduced capping suggests altered membrane properties in this autosomal dominant disorder.

Abstract
Lymphocytes isolated from the peripheral blood of normal persons, patients with untreated B cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), active untreated Hodgkin's disease and Hodgkin's disease in remission, were studied for their ability to form T lymphocyte colonies in vitro in semi-solid agar. The frequency of colony formation was tested after induction with phytohemagglutinin (PHA), in the presence or absence of added conditioned medium (CM) from PHA stimulated normal human lymphocytes. This CM contained the normal T cell colony inducing protein TCI. In the absence of added CM, the seeding of 5 × 105 cells per 35 mm petri dish from normal persons gave a mean of about 1700 colonies per petri dish, whereas at this seeding level lymphocytes from CLL patients, which contained a lower percentage of T lymphocytes, gave no colonies. Increasing the number of cells seeded from the CLL patients resulted in the formation of T cell colonies and at a seeding level with a similar number of cells with E rosettes, lymphocytes from normal persons and CLL patients gave similar frequencies of T cell colony formation. The addition of normal CM increased the number of colonies by 2·5 fold with cells from normal persons and 1·6 fold with cells from the CLL patients. Six out of nine patients with active Hodgkin's disease and five out of nine patients with Hodgkin's disease in remission for 18–84 months, gave only 0–150 colonies per petri dish compared to the normal mean of 1700. In many of these cases, the number of colonies remained unchanged, or did not rise above about 300, even after adding normal CM. These results indicate, that T lymphocytes from normal persons and CLL patients appear to have similar colony forming ability when a similar number of T lymphocytes are seeded; and that there are patients with Hodgkin's disease in an active form or in remission, which have a defect in T lymphocyte colony formation which was not repaired by adding the T cell colony inducing activity in CM from PHA stimulated normal lymphocytes. The study of in vitro colony formation should be a useful assay for further elucidation of the changes in the control of T lymphocyte proliferation that can occur in various diseases.

Abstract
In eight patients with hairy cell leukaemia (HCL) peripheral blood cells and in two patients also spleen cells were analysed for surface markers and functional capacities. Only cells containing the tartrate resistant isoenzyme 5 of the acid phosphatase were considered. Hairy cells (HC) of all patients were found to adhere spontaneously to glass and plastic surfaces and to spread after adherence like monocytes. They ingested latex particles of more than 1 micron diameter, but, in contrast to monocytes, did not phagocytose erythrocytes sensitized either by IgM or by IgG antibodies. HC of all patients bore Fc-receptors with a high binding affinity for aggregated IgG. Using 125 I-labelled F(ab')2-fragments of monospecific antibodies in autoradiography, only one light chain type was detected on HC of individual patients. In four patients mu- and delta-chains were simultaneously expressed on HC, whereas in two patients only gamma-chains and in one case only mu-chains were observed on HC. One patient showed a combination of gamma- and delta-chains on his HC. A great variation in density of surface immunoglobulings of HC was observed within individual patients. After removal by capping, surface immunoglobulin reappeared on HC during cell culture, but more slowly than on normal B-lymphocytes. As shown in two patients by internal labelling, HC secreted immunoglobulin light chains, but no heavy chains. On the basis of these findings the classification of HC as belonging to the B-cell lineage, rather than to the monocytic lineage, seems to be justified.

Abstract
The concanavalin-A-binding cell surface glycoproteins from normal and certain leukaemic human lymphocytes were radiolabelled and then solubilized with detergent, isolated by affinity chromatography on Con A insolubilized on agarose beads, and subsequently analysed by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Leukaemic T cells from patients with Sezary syndrome were found to express major concanavalin-A-binding glycoproteins on their outer surface similar to those of normal T lymphocytes. Leukaemic B cells from patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia expressed Con-A-binding proteins similar to those of B-cell lines. HLA antigens were predominant among the major Con-A-binding proteins on the surface of the normal and the malignant T cells studied. Human Ia-like antigens, HLA antigens, and the cell surface immunoglobulins IgD and IgM represented the major Con-A-binding proteins on the B cells studied. beta 2-microglobulin was found associated with HLA antigens on both leukaemic and non-leukaemic T and B cells. The presence of additional Con-A-binding proteins expressed on the surface of the different cell types studied is discussed along with some physical characteristics of the human Ia-like antigens isolated.

Abstract
The present study was undertaken to test whether cytolysis induced by Concanavalin A (Con A) requires lateral mobility of membranal lectin receptor sites into caps. Treatment of interphase murine mastocytoma cells with 10(-4) M colchicine promoted cap formation by Con A in about 30% of the cells, followed by cytolysis. Pretreatment of the cells with NaN3, low temperature, or glutaraldehyde decreased the degree of capping and, to the same extent, the degree of cytolysis. The addition of antibodies to cells bound with Con A increased the appearance of capping and cytolysis. A linear relationship with a high correlation coefficient exists between the degree of capping and cytolysis, suggesting that lateral mobility of membrane Con A receptors is required for cytolysis by the lectin. The process of cap formation by Con A up to the stage of cytolysis was followed by scanning electron microscopy.

Abstract
Human blood T-lymphocytes increase their potassium (K+) permeability and active K+ transport following lectin or antigen stimulation. We have studied the permeability and active transport of K+ by lymphocytes in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) to determine if their membrane K+ transport was similar to resting or lectin-stimulated normal blood lymphocytes. K+ transport was assessed both by the rate of isotopic 42K+ uptake and by the rate of change in cell K+ concentration after inhibition of the K+ transport system with ouabain. CLL lymphocytes had a marked decrease in membrane K+ permeability and active transport of K+ when compared to blood T lymphocytes. K+ transport in five subjects with CLL (10 mmol.1 cell water-1.h-1) was half that in normal blood T-lymphocytes (20 mmol.1 cell water-1 h-1). Phytohemagglutinin (PHA) treatment of CLL lymphocytes did not increase significantly their active K+ transport, whereas K+ transport by normal T-lymphocytes increased by 100%. Since there were 73% T-lymphocytes in normal blood and 14% in CLL blood, the difference in membrane K+ turnover could be related either to neoplasia or to the proposed B-lymphocyte origin of CLL. We studied human tonsillar lymphocytes which contained a mean of 34% T-cells. In five studies of tonsils, K+ transport was 14 mmol.1 cell water-1.h-1 and treatment with PHA increased K+ transport only 30%. The intermediate values of basal K+ transport and K+ transport in response to PHA in tonsillar lymphocytes were consistent with the proportion of T-lymphocytes present. These data suggest that B-lymphocytes have reduced membrane permeability and active transport of K+. Thus the marked decrease in CLL lymphocyte membrane K+ permeability and transport may be a reflection of its presumed B-cell origin, rather than a membrane alteration related to malignant transformation.

Abstract
The present study reports the detection of antibodies to β2 microglobulin in the sera of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Using a Farr-type ammonium sulphate precipitation assay, test sera were reacted with 125Iβ2 microglobulin, and immunoglobulins precipitated by 50% saturated ammonium sulphate. Increased β2 microglobulin binding activity (normal values: mean±2 sd = 35.5 ±7.8) was detected in 18 of 42 SLE sera. Anti-HLA sera did not reveal increased binding activity, suggesting that the antibody in SLE serum was directed toward free β2 microglobulin. Direct validation was done by reacting 125Iβ2 microglobulin with 4 SLE sera having increased 125Iβ2 microglobulin binding activity, and subjecting the reactants to sucrose density gradient ultracentrifugation. Two peaks were obtained, one corresponding to free β2 microglobulin, and the other to 7S material complexed to β2 microglobulin. Normal sera demonstrated only one peak corresponding to unbound β2 microglobulin. Assays of β2 microglobulin binding activity on protein fractions obtained by Sephadex G200 column chromatography also showed the presence of increased binding activity with 7S fractions. Using a double antibody assay, the 7S material reactive to β2 microglobulin was demonstrated to be IgG. It was also shown that sera with abnormal β2 microglobulin binding activity had higher titres of antinuclear antibody compared to those lacking such activity (t = 3.18; P<0.01), indicating the pathogenetic relationship of this antibody to increased disease activity. This antibody may be responsible for some of the abnormalities of cell-mediated function previously described in SLE patients.

Abstract
Peripheral blood lymphocytes from 20 patients with acute infectious mononucleeosis (IM) were studied for cell aggregation and for cap formation by concanavalin A (Con A). The lymphocytes from these patients showed 5.2+/-1.5% cells with a Con-A-induced cap and a high degree of cell aggregation without Con A, compared to 27.7+/-3.2% caps and a low degree of cell aggregation with normal lymphocytes. The lymphocytes from IM patients were fractionated to enrich for T and B cells. There was a low frequency of cap formation in both T and B cells, but the high degree of celll aggregation without Con A only occurred with B cells. Studies with four patients in clinical remission from acute IM have shown that the frequency of Con-A-induced cap formation only returned to normal more than 3 months after the beginning of clinical remission and that even at 6 months the cells still showed a high degree of cell aggregation. The results indicate that a high degree of B-cell aggregation and a low percentage of B and T cells with a Con-A-induced cap were associated with acute IM and that the changes associated with a high degree of B-cell aggregation were by themselves not sufficient to cause the disease.

Abstract
Lymphocytes isolated from normal human peripheral blood can be induced to form colonies in vitro by incubation with the appropriate inducer. Phytohemagglutinin can induce colonies with T (thymus-derived) lymphocytes. Optimun colony formation with about two colonies per 10(2) peripheral blood lymphocytes was obtained by adding, in addition to phytohemagglutinin, autologous plasma, autoologous red blood cells, and fresh L-glutamine or L-cystine. In the absence of these fresh amino acids, no colonies were formed at seeding levels below 10(5) cells per 35 mm petri dish. The addition of either of these amino acids gave a 10-fold decrease in the minimum number of cells that had to be seeded for colony formation. Lipopolysaccharide did not induce the formation of colonies, but enhanced the formation of T cell colonies by phytohemagglutinin. The mixing of lymphocytes from persons with and deficient in glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase (EC 1-1-1-49) has shown that phytohemagglutinin-induced colonies can be derived from single cells and are, therefore, clones. No colonies were formed by lethally irradiated cells. Incubation with pokeweed mitogen also induced the formation of colonies. With autologous plasma and autologous red blood cells, pokeweek mitogen induced about one colony per 5 X 10(3) cells seeded and no colonies at seeding levels below 10(5) cells per petri dish. The minimum number of cells needed for colony formation by pokeweed mitogen was not decreased by fresh L-glutamine or L-cystine. The results indicate that normal human lymphocytes can be cloned in vitro and that induction of these lymphocyte colonies can be regulated by lectins and other specific factors.
