title: Expression of Thy1, TL and LYT antigens on spontaneous leukemias of BALB/MO strain of mice.
abstract: The expression of Thy1, TL and Tyt antigens on spontaneous BALB/Mo leukemias has been studied. The results obtained thus far indicate that a majority of leukemias express TL antigen and differentiated Lyt phenotype. This observation and other findings demonstrating the existence of TL+ thymocytes with different Lyt phenotypes in normal thymus of young mice lends support for the hypothesis that TL+Lyt2+ phenotype defines this stage in the T cell differentiation pathway, which is particularly sensitive to leukemic transformation.
