Antigenic changes detected by myeloid-specific monoclonal antibodies on HL-60 cells induced to differentiate by various chemical mediators were investigated using flow cytometry. Antigen levels detected by monocyte- granulocyte-specific monoclonal antibodies AML-2–23, 61D3, and 63D3 increased dramatically after differentiation of HL-60 cells along the granulocytic pathway by the addition of dimethyl formamide (DMF), dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), or cis-retinoic acid. The expression of these same antigens also increased in conjunction with monocytoid differentiation when HL-60 cells were treated with supernatants from leukocytes stimulated with phytohemagglutinin (PHA-LCM) or with mixed lymphocyte conditioned medium (MLC). In contrast, treatment of HL-60 cells with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), which also induced differentiation along the monocyte pathway, had no effect on the expression of these monocyte-associated antigens. The expression of antigens on HL-60 cells recognized by the granulocyte-specified monoclonal antibodies PMN 6 and PMN 29 decreased after treatment of HL- 60 cells with PMA, but remained constant after treatment with DMF, DMSO, cis-retinoic acid, PHA-LCM, or MLC. These results suggest that normal myeloid differentiation may be dependent on various signals and that morphological and cell surface marker maturity may, under some conditions, be separable. The utility of the HL-60 cell line as a model of myeloid differentiation and for evaluation of inductive signals is discussed.

This study compared leukocyte counts and lymphocyte responsiveness during and after a second bout of high-intensity endurance exercise on the same day with the response to a similar but single bout of exercise. Nine athletes participated in three 24-h trials: 1) rest in bed (Rest); 2) one bout of exercise (One); and 3) two bouts of exercise (Two). All bouts consisted of 75 min at ∼75% of maximal O2uptake on a cycle ergometer. Lymphocytes in whole blood were stimulated with monoclonal antibodies against CD2 and assessed by flow cytometry for expression of the early activation molecule CD69. The second bout of exercise in the Two trial was associated with significantly increased concentrations of total leukocytes, neutrophils, lymphocytes, CD4+, CD8+, and CD56+cells and a significantly decreased percentage of CD56+cells expressing CD69 compared with a single bout. Additionally, there was a significantly decreased CD69 fluorescence in CD56+cells postexercise. These differences suggest a “carry-over” effect in the immune system from a first to a second bout of exercise on the same day.

SummaryPlatelets are known to internalize monoclonal antibodies directed against the glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa complex. We investigated whether an antibody directed against this complex (NNKY 2-11) was transported from the surface membrane to the intracellular pool in HEL cells. Flow cytometry showed that the percent binding of NNKY 2-11 to the surface membrane of HEL cells was decreased after incubation for 24 h compared with 1 h, while the binding of an anti-GPIb antibody (NNKY 5-5) did not change. It did not seem likely that the GP Ilb/IIIa complex antibody was shed from the surface membrane of the HEL cells during incubation, because the medium conditioned by incubation with these cells for 24 h showed almost no binding to washed platelets. In addition, immunoelectron microscopy demonstrated that GP IIb/IIIa complex antibodies were incorporated into the intracellular pool of HEL cells and were associated with alpha granules. These findings indicated that an anti-GP IIb/IIIa antibody could be internalized by megakaryocytes, as has been previously shown with platelets, suggesting that megakaryocyte GP IIb/IIIa may act as a carrier for various adhesion proteins.

The recent introduction of monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs), with several cellular targets, such as CD-38 (daratumumab and isatuximab) and SLAM F7 (elotuzumab), differently combined with other classes of agents, has significantly extended the outcomes of patients with multiple myeloma (MM) in different phases of the disease. Initially used in advanced/refractory patients, different MoAbs combination have been introduced in the treatment of newly diagnosed transplant eligible patients (NDTEMM), showing a significant improvement in the depth of the response and in survival outcomes, without a significant price in terms of toxicity. In smoldering MM, MoAbs have been applied, either alone or in combination with other drugs, with the goal of delaying the progression to active MM and restoring the immune system. In this review, we will focus on the main results achieved so far and on the main on-going trials using MoAbs in SMM and NDTEMM.

The precision of immunological characterization of leukemias was improved by a certain number of technical innovations, particularly hybridoma production and standardization, resulting in monoclonal antibodies and definition of recognised cellular antigens (designated by CD: Cluster of Differentiation).The aim of this work was to determine the immunophenotyping profile of patients with leukemia, by means of a flow cytometric method: 66 blood samples coming from leukemic persons in the Sahel region were studied by flow cytometry, using about thirty monoclonal antibodies all marked with a fluorochrome, in one or two colour systems to assess their distribution according to type (lymphoid B or T / myeloid) and age, and to search for possible co-expressions of markers of different lineages.The marked preponderance of childhood B-ALL in our series is, at least partly, attributable to the age distribution of the Tunisian population. In agreement with studies from other countries, the majority of AML cases occurred among adults. A high proportion of AML cases in our series co-expressed markers of other lineages. Overall, accurate classification of acute leukemias was possible from a simple peripheral blood sample in 62 of 66 cases (93.9%).

Aim: Nanoparticles (NPs) interaction with immune system is a growing topic of study. Materials & methods: Bare and amine grafted silica NPs effects on monocytes/macrophages cells were analyzed by flow cytometry, MTT test and LIVE/DEAD® viability/cytotoxicity assay. Results: Bare silica NPs inhibited proliferation and induced monocyte/macrophages activation (increasing CD40/CD80 expression besides pro-inflammatory cytokines and nitrite secretion). Furthermore, silica NPs increased cell membrane damage and reduced the number of living cells. In contrast, amine grafted silica NPs did not alter these parameters. Conclusion: Cell activation properties of bare silica NPs could be hindered after grafting with amine moieties. This strategy is useful to tune the immune system stimulation by NPs or to design NPs suitable to transport therapeutic molecules.
