Immunological, cytochemical and cytological study of lymphocytes in neoplastic and hypoplastic states of hemopoiesis

Haematologia

Abstract

The T and B lymphocytes, their semiquantitative cytochemistry and the nuclei were investigated in human acute and chronic leukaemia (All, CLL) and hypoplastic anaemia (HA), as well as in mice with chronic benzene poisoning (CBI). In the acute phase of ALL T and B markers were absent. In all phases, including remission, cytochemical changes and changes in the structure of nucleoli were present. In CLL, two variants of immunological alterations were found, a B cell variant and a mixed B-T cell variant. Immunological and cytochemical changes in HA and CBI were identical and this allowed to conclude that CBI is an adequate model of certain variants of human HA. The immunological and cytochemical changes in CLL, HA and CBI affected both T and B cells.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.
