    Description / Table of Contents: Summary A solid-phase radioimmunoassay was developed for the detection of HBeAg and anti-HBe in sera or serum fractions. HBe/sAg positive sera, partially purified HBeAg, partially purified HBsAg, and HBe/sAg negative sera were polymerized in polyacrylamide and compared for their ability to bind125I-IgG (anti-HBe). Only gels containing HBeAg reacted specifically with the iodinated antibody. The specificity of the binding was confirmed by blocking and inhibition tests using anti-HBe, HBeAg, HBsAg, and negative control sera. The radioimmunoassay allows the specific and quantitative detection of HBeAg and anti-HBe even in the presence of detergents and high salt concentrations.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Ein Radioimmunoassay wurde entwickelt zum Nachweis von HBeAg und anti-HBe in Serum oder Serumfraktionen. HBe/sAg positives Serum, teilweise gereinigtes HBeAg, teilweise gereinigtes HBsAg und HBe/sAg negatives Kontrollserum wurden in Polyacrylamid polymerisiert und auf ihre Bindungsfähigkeit für125I-IgG (anti-HBe) untersucht. Nur Gele mit immobilisiertem HBeAg reagierten spezifisch mit anti-HBe. Die Spezifität der Bindung wurde gesichert durch Blockierungs-/Inhibitionsteste mit anti-HBe, HBeAg, HBsAg und negativen Kontrollseren. Der Radioimmunoassay ermöglicht den spezifischen und quantitativen Nachweis von HBeAg und anti-HBe, auch in Gegenwart von Detergentien und hohen Salzkonzentrationen.

    Notes: Summary Cytosol proteins from normal lymphocytes, leukemic lymphocytes, and different cultured lymphoid cell lines were separated by two-dimensional mini gel electrophoresis. By staining with Coomassie blue, specific protein patterns were obtained. Very similar gel maps were producted by the cytosol proteins of chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells, hairy cells, and of in vitro grown B cells. Protein 36/6.2 (molecular weight/isoelectric point), consistently present in these cells, could not be demonstrated in normal lymphocytes. For the comparison of control Raji cells—an Epstein-Barr-Virus (EBV)-DNA carrying Burkitt's lymphoma cell line—with Raji cells induced for early antigen (EA) production, 35S-methionine-labelled total cell lysates were analyzed. In the induced cells, an additional protein (100/5.5) was found; this might be one of the immunologically define EBV-associated antigens. These results demonstrate that two-dimensional mini gel electrophoresis can be useful for the characterization of leukemic cells in addition to the morphological, cytochemical, and surface marker analyses.

    Notes: Summary Samples from the L-428 Hodgkin's cell line and from several other lymphoma cell lines were lysed and the soluble proteins were subjected to one-or two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. The separated proteins were transferred to nitrocellulose by the Western Blot technique; antibody reactivity was detected by an immunoperoxidase reaction. Of 152 sera from patients with Hodgkin's disease (HD) 26 (17%) reacted with protein P-65 whereas in the control group, consisting of 35 healthy persons and 20 patients with other malignant diseases only 1 serum was reactive. Thus, the difference between the two groups was highly significant (P〈0.01). These antibodies were most common in stage III HD. Splenectomy had no effect on the incidence of these antibodies, and there seemed to be no correlation with B-symptoms or with the histological subtype.

    Notes: Summary The combination of two-dimensional mini gel electrophoresis with the ‘western blot’ technique proves to be a powerful tool in characterizing lymphoid cells. By testing for kappa and lambda immunoglobulin light chains we were able to differentiate between mono-, oligo-, and polyclonal B-cell diseases. The distribution of the lambda isotypes of 24 cases with chronic lymphocytic B-cell leukemia (B-CLL) tested was not random when compared to the distribution of the lambda light chains in B-lymphocytes of normal persons. This might implicate a genetic link between the lambda loci (chromosome 22) and the development of the lambda-CLL.

    Notes: Summary A modified two-step polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used for the amplification of BCR/ABL mRNA in 16 patients with Philadelphia chromosomepositive (Ph+) chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) following allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT). At different intervals after BMT, patient cells were assessed for the presence of BCR/ABL mRNA by two subsequent rounds of PCR amplification; this procedure increased the sensitivity for the detection of one Ph+ cell in 104–5 to one cell in 105–6. Eight of 16 patients were negative by two-step PCR 1–39 months after BMT, suggesting an elimination of Ph-positive cells or a decrease below the threshold of detection. Although five patients showed negative results by the one-step PCR only, they were tested positive when nested primers were used, indicating a substantial decrease in the amount of BCR/ABL target mRNA compared with earlier pre- or post-transplant analyses. One patient who was still PCR positive 27 months after BMT became negative 12 months later. Persistence of BCR/ABL mRNA-expressing cells correlated with subsequent clinical relapse only when the transplantation was performed during blast crisis. All patients who underwent transplantation in chronic phase, including those with BCR rearrangement by PCR, are in clinical and hematological remission between 24 and 95 months after BMT. We conclude that aggressive chemotherapy combined with total body irradiation is unable to completely eradicate the malignant clone in all CML patients, and it might be speculated that other mechanisms (e.g., graft versus host reaction [GVHD] or graft versus leukemia effect [GVL]) may effectively eliminate residual leukemic cells.

    Notes: Summary Between 1983 and 1991 the Philadelphia chromosome (Ph1) was found in bone marrow and/or peripheral blood cells of 25 adult patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The Ph1 as sole anomaly was seen in 13 patients, while six patients had additional structural and another six structural and numerical aberrations. Most patients (23/25) received combination chemotherapy according to the BMFT protocols 1/81, 2/84, 3/87, and 4/89. For 25 evaluable patients two early deaths, two treatment failures, two partial remissions (PR), and 19 complete remissions (CR) after phase 1 or 2 of the induction regimen were recorded. Two of these 19 patients who achieved CR are presently disease free, whereas 17 have relapsed after a median duration of remission of 9 months. Actuarial median survival for all patients was 13 months. The probability of continuous complete remission (CCR) after 39 months, as well as that of survival after 40 months, is only 6%. Our results confirm that the presence of the Ph1 is associated with a poor prognosis in adult-ALL patients. Therefore, whenever first CR is obtained and an HLA-identical donor is available, allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) should be performed at once, the more so, since transplantation in second CR seems to offer no cure. Future studies will have to show whether an intensified cytotoxic therapy can improve the prognosis of Ph1+-ALL.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Wir untersuchten Teicoplanin bei vermuteten grampositiven Infektionen nach ungenügendem Ansprechen auf die anfängliche Kombinationstherapie von β-Laktam-Antibiotika und Aminoglykosiden. Alle 20 in dieser Studie erfaßten Patienten wurden entweder allogen (8 Patienten) oder autolog (12 Patienten) transplantiert mit folgenden Grundkrankheiten: akute myeloische Leukämie (AML), Non-Hodgkin-Lymphom (NHL) oder andere maligne Erkrankungen. Alle Patienten, die eine primäre Septikämie unbekannten Ursprungs entwickelten (18 Patienten) oder unter einer Katheter-bedingten Septikämie (2 Patienten) litten, wurden mit 400 mg Teicoplanin behandelt. Die Verabreichung von Teicoplanin erfolgte einmal täglich intravenös in Kombination mit einem Cephalosporin und einem Aminoglykosid (Ceftazidim 2 g i.v., 3 ×/die, Netilmicin 400 mg, 1 ×/die). Alle behandelten Patienten sprachen auf diese Therapie an. 19 Patienten wurden klinische geheilt, ein Patient besserte sich unter dieser Therapie. Die Kombinationstherapie wurde gut vertragen, unerwünschte Arzneimittelwirkungen traten während der Studie nicht auf. Wir beobachteten kein verzögertes Angehen des Knochenmarks oder eine Verlängerung der Thrombozytopenie unter dieser Behandlung im Vergleich zu anderen knochenmarktransplantierten Patienten, die diese antimikrobielle Behandlung nicht erhielten. Unsere Ergebnisse zeigen, daß Teicoplanin ein wirksames und gut verträgliches Antibiotikum für knochenmarktransplantierte Patienten ist, die primär nicht auf die Kombinationstherapie mit β-Laktam-Antibiotika und Aminoglykosiden ansprechen.
    Notes: Summary We evaluated teicoplanin for suspected gram-positive infections after inadequate response to initial empiric beta-lactam and aminoglycoside combination therapy. All 20 patients included in this study received either an allogeneic (8 patients) or an autologous (12 patients) bone marrow transplant for acute myeloid leucaemia (AML), non-Hodgkin's-lymphoma (NHL, high grade) or other malignant diseases. All patients developing primary septicaemia of unknown origin (18 patients) or catheter-related septicaemia (2 patients) were treated with 400 mg teicoplanin, administered i.v. once daily in combination with a cephalosporin and an aminoglycoside (ceftazidime 2 g i.v., t.i.d.; netilmicin 400 mg once daily). All patients responded to therapy, 19 patients were clinically cured and one patient improved under therapy. The therapeutic regimen was well tolerated; only one adverse drug reaction was observed. We did not observe any delayed take or prolonged neutropenia or thrombocytopenia with this therapeutic regimen when our patients were compared to other bone marrow transplant patients (who did not receive this antimicrobial therapy). Our results suggest that teicoplanin is a potentially effective and well tolerated antimicrobial agent in bone marrow transplant patients with infections not responding primarily to beta-lactams and aminoglycosides.
