CD22 had been believed to be restricted to B lymphoid, however, it was also found to be expressed in human basophils. Mature basophils are unique granulocytes expressing CD13, CD22 and CD25. To estimate whether the expression of CD22 in non-lymphoid leukemia is aberrant or related to basophilic character, we analyzed 108 patients with primary and secondary leukemia. Among non-lymphoid leukemias, surface CD22 expression was more frequently observed in peroxidase-negative AML and secondary leukemia, and was usually observed simultaneously with CD13 and CD25. Samples obtained from 17 cases were further analyzed, and all the FcεR1-positive cases were observed in peroxidase-negative AML and secondary non-lymphoid leukemia, and mostly expressed CD13, CD22 and CD25. Therefore, surface CD22 expression in non-lymphoid leukemia was thought to relate to basophilic phenotype in some cases. Like CD22, some of the so-called aberrantly expressed antigens may not actually be aberrant, but are expressed in a stage of differentiation and maturation of progenitors. Moreover, CD22 may be one of target molecules for treatment of CD22-positive, poorly prognostic leukemia.}, pages = {691--698}, title = {Simultaneous expression of CD13, CD22 and CD25 is related to the expression of FcεR1 in non-lymphoid leukemia}, volume = {28}, year = {2004} }
