title: Rat lymphoid leukemia of T cell type induced by 7,12-dimethylbenz(alpha)anthracene. Immunological and enzymological characterization.
abstract: Lymphoid leukemia induced by 7,12-dimethylbenz(alpha)anthracene (DMBA) in rats and maintained by serial intraperitoneal transplantations in newborn rats was subjected to immunological and enzymological characterization. The Thy-1 antigen positivity rendered evidence for the T cell origin of the leukemia studied. Expression of cell surface complement binding receptors and patterns of cytoplasmic acid phosphatase and nonspecific acid alpha-naphthyl acetate esterase enzymes drew the attention to the dominance of lymphoblasts and prolymphocytes.
