Abstract:
15 cases of CLL were immunophenotyped with a panel of monoclonal antibodies. 13 cases BCLL, which was characterized by CD
20
+, HLA-Dr
+, Smlg
+, CDs
+and Em
+. 2 cases were T-CLL, one with Ts phenotype and the other with Dr
+T-CLL. The ratio of G0+G1 cells in bone marrow of CLL was 91.1±2.3%(76.0±5.1% in controls), while S+G
2M cells was 8.9±2.3% (23.9± 5.1%in controls). The ratios of various cyclic cells were similar in bone marrow and in peripheral blood. Prolymphocytoid transformation developed in late stage of 3 CLL patients. The clinical course, cytochemistry and immunologic changes in CLL are also analysed in this paper.
