[Surface immunoglobulins of lymphocytes in chronic lymphocytic leukemia].

Abstract

Using the fluorescence technique the presence of various immunoglobulin classes (IgG, IgA, IgM) was determined on the surface of peripheral blood lymphocytes obtained from healthy subjects (10 cases) and from patients with chronic lymphatic leukaemia (65 cases). In the investigations the effect of treatment and clinical course on the values of these parameters was taken into consideration. Nearly in all cases of this leukaemia the percent of lymphocytes binding immunoglobulins on their surface was raised in comparison with the lymphocytes of healthy subjects. Presence of one or more classes of immunoglobulins was demonstrated on the surface of leukaemic lymphocytes.
