title: Immune markers in adult acute leukemia.
abstract: Three cases of adult acute leukemia were examined for immunologic markers. Incubation of leukemic cells with anti-D (IgG)-coated erythrocytes was used for the identification of monocytes; sheep erythrocytes were employed for T-cells and fluorescein-conjugated anti-mixed immunoglobulins for B-cells. It was shown that IgG receptors (monocytes) were present on immature cells with predominant monocytic components; T- and B-cell markers were absent in the mono- and myelocytic leukemias.
