Antibodydependent, complement-mediated cytotoxicity was demonstrated by the trypan blue test and Cr release assay for cultured ML cells, whereas no cytotoxicity was demonstrated for cells from B (SB) and T (MOLT 4) lymphoblastoid cell lines.
Fluorescent in situ hybridization of MPO mRNA showed strong staining in 5% to 10% of SKM-1 cells and of bone marrow cells from patients with myelogenous leukemia, while all cells from HL-60 were positive.
FK-506 also enhanced the cytotoxicity of VCR in Adriamycin(ADM)-resistant human ovarian cancer A2780 cells (AD10) and ADM-resistant human myelogenous leukemia K562 cells (K562/ADM) in vitro.
This pattern of expression of FLT3 contrasts with the expression of FMS and KIT restricted to myeloid leukemias, and suggests that the FLT3 product could play a role in the expansion of the leukemic blasts of both the myeloid and lymphoid lineages.

Elevated P-NPY-LI, compared with the upper age-adjusted reference limit, was only found in children with B-cell precursor leukemia (31 of 40), whereas all children with B-cell, T-cell, or myeloid leukemia (n = 11) had normal P-NPY-LI (P less than .001).
We analyzed the structural alteration of the p53 gene, by Southern blotting with conventional and/or pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, in patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive leukemia (chronic myelogenous leukemia; CML, 34 cases and acute leukemia; AL, 5 cases).
While we have detected C/EBP alpha, C/EBP beta, and C/EBP delta in multiple myeloid leukemia cell lines, and C/EBP alpha in normal myeloid cells and in de novo human myeloid leukemias, we have not detected these C/EBP isoforms in either erythroid or lymphoid cells.
Humanized IgG1 M195 (HuG1-M195), a complementarity determining region-grafted recombinant monoclonal antibody, is reactive with CD33, an antigen expressed on myelogenous leukemia cells.
