ABSTRACT
objective To investigate the immunophenotype of Chinese patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia(ALL)and its association to cytogenetics and clinical features.Methods In this study.a total of 113 Chinese patients with ALL were immunophenotyped by flow cytometry using a panel of monoclonal antibodies.50 000 cells were acquired and analyzed with Cell Quest and abnormal populations were recognized by CD_(45)/SSC gating.Among the 113 patients enrolled in this study,bone marrow cells of 74 patients were cultured for 72 hours to prepare for conventional chromosome detection.and karyotype was analyzed with R-banding technique.Results Of 113 ALL patients,14.2%(16/113)were identified as TALL,85.8%(97/113)as B-ALL Among the 106 out of 113 ALL cases,myeloid antigen(MyAg)expression was documented in 34.9%(37/106)and CD_(13) was the most commonly expressed MyAg in ALL patients(23.6%,25/106).MyAgs were more frequently associated with T-ALL(46.2%,6/13)than with B-ALL(33.3%,31/93)but there was no significant difieFence(X~2=0.825,P>0.05)between the two groups.MyAg positivity in adult ALL patients(47.6%,20/42)was higher than that in children(26.6%,17/64).There was a significant difference between the two groups(X~2=4.948,P<0.05).Abnormal karyotypes were detected in 39 out of 74(52.7%)patients.It showed that percentage of patients with high WBC count(>50×10~9/L)in MyAg~+(48.6%,18/37)was higher than that in MyAg~-ALL types (20.3%,14/69).There was a significant difference between the two groups(X~2=9.191,P<0.01).CD34 expression was found in 83.8%(31/37)of MyAg~+ and 53.6%(37/69)of MyAg~-cages.There was a significant difference between the two groups(X~2=9.527,P<0.05).In addition,the percentage of adult ALL patients in MyAg~+ group(54.1%,20/37)was higher than that in MyAg~-group(31.9%,22/69).There was a significant difference between the two groups(X~2=4.948,P<0.05).Conclusion lmmunophenotype analysis is useful for ALL diagnosis and classification and the immunophenotype has relevance to the abnormal cytogenetic changes and clinical features in ALL patients.
