We then investigated the expression of CD22 and other B cell- and basophil-related molecules in 25 human acute leukemia cell lines to find the phenotype of the virtual common progenitor of B- and myeloid lineage. Surface and cytoplasmic expressions of antigens were analyzed using a flow cytometer and an essential antibody-panel used for diagnosing acute leukemia as well as cytokine receptors and basophil-related enzymes. Messenger RNA expression of FcεR1 and CD22 was also analyzed. Peroxidase-positive and -negative myeloid leukemias showed eosinophil- and basophil-type expression of enzymes, respectively. Early myeloid and B-lineage cells expressed basically similar combinations of cytokine receptors and various combinations of mRNA listed above, while T-lineage cells did not. The virtual common progenitor of B- and myeloid lineage cells may be defined as immature cells simultaneously expressing B- and basophil phenotypes.}, pages = {173--182}, title = {FcεRI and CD22 mRNA are expressed in early B-lineage and myeloid leukemia cell lines}, volume = {27}, year = {2003} }
