The donor cells were obtained from rats treated with cytosine arabinoside (250 mg/kg body weight) 6 h prior to seeding. The marrow of donor rats contained a high proportion of stem cells committed to the erythroid line. 9 days after implantation, vast numbers of erythroid colonies developed in the diffusion chambers. The erythroid cells were observed arranged around a central macrophage resembling erythroid islands in bone marrow. Erythroid colonies most probably differentiated from committed stem cells in the inoculum. It is postulated that development of erythroid colonies in diffusion chambers is conditioned by, among other factors, the presence of a special type of macrophages. These macrophages have the same function as those of central reticular cells (CRC) in bone marrow erythroid islands.","PeriodicalId":21489,"journal":{"name":"Scandinavian journal of haematology","volume":"10 1","pages":"369-76"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79891187","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At different intervals over a period of 20 d changes in surface characteristics were examined by labelling the cells with AcALLG, ATCG as well as with polyvalent AIg. The evaluation was performed by using direct immunofluorescence. In addition, the ability to form rosetts with SRBC, AET-treated sheep erythrocytes, mouse red blood cells and EoxAC was tested. On day 0 of the diffusion chamber culture the cells only carried cALLA, and no rosette formation was observed. In the course of the diffusion chamber culture the cells unequivocally developed T-cell antigen, and in 1 of 2 experiments they further acquired a receptor for forming AET- and E-rosettes. Conversely, in the other experiment a receptor for mouse red blood cells was detected in a considerable portion of the cells. Our data show that the rather undifferentiated Reh line cells in vitro are able to develop features of mature T-cells and attributes of early B-cells during the diffusion chamber culture. In vitro they apparently retain a bivalent potentiality of lymphatic maturation. The diffusion chamber system proves to be a suitable tool for promoting differentiation in these cells.","PeriodicalId":21489,"journal":{"name":"Scandinavian journal of haematology","volume":"72 1","pages":"385-92"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75102772","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the hypocellular group, the frequency of remission was 56% and the 2-year-survival from the onset of symptoms was 75%. This is longer than in some earlier studies, perhaps because of possible differences in etiology and/or because of the effect of systematic high dosage, long term androgen therapy. Patient selection was minimized and was not considered to be of major importance. Patients with hypercellular marrows, on the other hand, responded poorly to androgens. In this group 63% died of acute leukaemia, which confirms earlier suggestions that this form of aregenerative anaemia, frequently is of a preleukaemic nature.","PeriodicalId":21489,"journal":{"name":"Scandinavian journal of haematology","volume":"53 44 1","pages":"90-100"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80484680","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These effects of serum were reversible upon cell washing. Preincubation of monocytes with hyperimmune human serum against type B erythrocytes did not alter the cytolysis. After incubation at 37 degrees C of monocytes with immune complexes formed of human albumin and rabbit anti-human albumin a dose-related inhibition of cytolysis was observed. This inhibition was equally expressed at different albumin to anti-albumin ratios. Pretreatment with immune complexes at 4 degrees C had the same effect on cytolysis as pretreatment at 37 degrees C. The effect of immune complexes on monocyte-mediated cytolysis was resistant to repeated cell washing. After incubation of pretreated monocytes at 37 degrees C for up to 18 h some of the inhibition disappeared, but without normalization.

Under the SEM, megakaryoblasts and maturing megakaryocytic precursors showed typical surface features including the presence of rounded and irregular blebs, broad folds and pseudopodia. The nature of these surface blebs is still unclear but they probably represent surface membrane alterations relating to imminent platelet shedding at least in the more mature precursors. These surface microprojections are distinctly different from those encountered on leukaemic lymphoblasts, myeloblasts and monoblasts. It is suggested that SEM may be used in conjunction with the PPO reaction as in aid in the diagnosis of megakaryocytic leukaemias.","PeriodicalId":21489,"journal":{"name":"Scandinavian journal of haematology","volume":"57 1","pages":"145-50"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86792250","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
