    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Bei vier Patienten mit Haarzell-Leukämie wurden die leukämischen Zellen auf das Vorkommen von Oberflächenimmunglobulinen und Fc-Rezeptoren sowie die Stimulierbarkeit mit verschiedenen Mitogenen hin untersucht. Die Analyse dieser Eigenschaften erfolgte mit Hilfe einer kombinierten zytochemisch-radioautographischen Technik, bei der die radioaktiv markierten Zellen durch den Nachweis des Tartrat-resistenten Isoenzyms der sauren Phosphatase als Haarzellen identifiziert werden konnten. Für den Nachweis der Oberflächenimmunglobuline wurden125I-markierte (Fab')2-Fragmente von monospezifischen Antikörpern gegen schwere Immunoglobulinketten verwendet. Bei zwei Patienten wurden auf der Oberfläche der isoenzymhaltigen Zellen μ- und δ-Immunglobulinketten nachgewiesen, die bei einem großen Teil dieser Zellen gleichzeitig auf der Zelloberfläche ausgedrückt waren. Bei einem Patienten zeigten die isoenzymhaltigen Zellen γ- und δ-Ketten und bei einem vierten Patienten nur γ-Ketten. Bei einer Patientin konnten μ- und δ-Ketten nach einer in vitro-Kultur von 14 Tagen in Humanserum-freiem Medium in gleicher Weise nachgewiesen werden wie auf frischen Zellen, was für eine Synthese der Oberflächenimmunglobuline durch die Haarzellen selbst spricht. In der indirekten Immunfluoreszenztechnik wurden die Oberflächenimmunglobuline sehr schnell über einem Zellareal konzentriert, in dem auch Latexpartikel nach der Phagozytose lokalisiert waren. Mit Hilfe von125I-markierten Aggregaten von humanem IgG konnten bei allen vier Patienten Fc-Rezeptoren auf fast 100% der isoenzymhaltigen Zellen nachgewiesen werden. Eine deutliche, wenn auch geringe Stimulation der isoenzymhaltigen Zellen konnte beobachtet werden, wenn die Haarzellen mit Pokeweed-Mitogen oder Lima-Bohnen-Lektin (B- und T-Zell-Mitogene) kultiviert wurden, nicht jedoch, wenn die Stimulation mit Phytohämagglutinin oder Concanavalin-A (T-Zell-Mitogene) erfolgte. Bei keinem der drei untersuchten Patienten bildeten die Haarzellen Spontanrosetten mit Schaferythrozyten.
    Notes: Summary In four patients with hairy cell leukemia the expression of surface immunoglobulins and Fc-receptors on the leukemic cells as well as the stimulation of the leukemic cells by various T- and B-cell mitogens was studied. Using a combined cytochemical radioautographic method the tartrate resistant isoenzyme of the acid phosphatase and immunological markers could be demonstrated simultaneously on single cells. Surface immunoglobulins were detected by125I-labelled (Fab')2-fragments of monospecific anti-heavy-chain-antibodies. In two patients only μ- and δ-determinants were found on the isoenzyme-positive hairy cells; in one patient 86% and in the other 44% of these cells carried both heavy chains on the same cell. Another patient showed both γ-and δ-chains on the isoenzyme-positive cells and the fourth patient γ-chains only. When the hairy cells of one patient were cultured in vitro in human serum-free medium for 14 days, μ- and δ-determinants were found just as on freshly isolated cells suggesting that hairy cells synthesize immunoglobulins. By indirect immunofluorescence the surface-Ig on hairy cells was shown to be capped very rapidly at room temperature. The concentrated surface-Ig was found over that cytoplasmic area where most of the ingested latex particles were located. In addition, using125I-labelled aggregated human IgG (M.W. 5−15×106), Fc-receptors were found on virtually all of the isoenzyme-containing hairy cells in all four patients. Furthermore, a distinct, low-degree stimulation of the isoenzyme-positive hairy cells could be demonstrated when the cells were cultured in the presence of pokeweed mitogen or Lima-bean lectin (B- and T-cell-mitogens), whereas no stimulation was observed by phytohem-agglutinin and concanavalin A (T-cell-mitogens). In three patients studied, isoenzyme-positive hairy cells were negative with regard to rosette formation with sheep erythrocytes.

    Notes: Abstract The main targets of xenogeneic rejection mechanisms are the endothelial cells of the graft. Their activation and the consequent alteration of the organ's microcirculation lead to the destruction of the xenograft. Microhemodynamic changes occurring during this process are still poorly characterized. The aim of this study was to analyze the microcirculation during xenogeneic ex vivo hemoperfusion of rat livers and to monitor the impact of treatment strategies using intravital fluorescence microscopy. In contrast to the isogeneic control group, blood flow almost completely stopped within the first minutes of xenoperfusion. Simultaneously, perfusion pressure increased and bile production was reduced. Acetylsalicylate (Aspisol) and the platelet-activating factor antagonist WEB 2170 improved the microcirculation and function of the xenoperfused liver. The combination showed a synergistic effect. After apheresis of preformed xenogeneic antibodies, the parameters measured were comparable with those seen in isogeneic experiments. Complement degradation with cobra venom factor revealed a minor improvement in perfusion. A rapid, extensive, and irreversible leukocyte accumulation in terminal portal vessels was observed in all xenogeneic experiments. Blood counts of the perfusate confirmed the early trapping of leukocytes and platelets in the xenoperfused liver, indicating nonimmunological, cellular involvement in this rejection process.

    Notes: Abstract Since the main feature of hyperacute rejection is a disturbance of the xenograft's microcirculation, we analyzed microhemodynamic parameters during xenogeneic hemoperfusion of the guinea pig (GP) liver and investigated the contribution of leukocytes to the rejection process using intravital fluorescence microscopy. Isolated GP livers were hemoperfused via the portal vein in a recirculating system with a constant flow of 1 ml/min per g liver. In contrast to isogeneic perfusion with heparinized GP blood, a disturbance in the microcirculation was observed during xenogeneic perfusion using heparinized rat blood, with significantly higher values of perfusion pressure, reduced sinusoidal perfusion rates, and a larger number of stagnant leukocytes. A complete breakdown of the microcirculation, with the highest values of perfusion pressure and the smallest perfusion index, was associated with 100 % accumulated leukocytes when rat blood was anticoagulated with sodium citrate. Almost isogeneic perfusion values were obtained when fucoidin, which inhibits L-selectin-dependent cell interaction, was added to heparinized rat blood. These data indicate that leukocyte-endothelial cell interaction contributes to xenogeneic rejection.
