Cap formation on lymphocytes from patients with leukemic diseases induced by four different lectins.
When ficoll purified peripheral blood lymphocytes were treated with fluorescein conjugated lectins from lentils (LCH), castor beans (RCA) and phaseolus coccineus beans (L-and E-PHA) for 15 min and the percentages of the cap forming cells were examined, the values of leukemic lymphocytes were reduced compared to the values obtained with normal lymphocytes. The reduction was more than half in patients with acute and chronic myelogenous leukemia and immunoblastoma, it was only one quarter in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, Hodgkin's disease and lymphosarcoma. The lowest number of cap forming cells was found in lymphoblasts of established lymphoblastoid cell lines. The four different lectins showed nearly the same capacity in the induction of caps. After successive binding, the different lectins showed cocapping on the lymphocyte surface.
