Cancer of gallbladder with severe thrombocytosis.

An autopsy case of severe thrombocytosis associated with cancer of gallbladder is described as the first case in the literature. A 78-year-old male patient was admitted to the hospital with abnormal hepatic functions on August 6, 1975. Laboratory examination revealed platelet count of 5,664,000/cu mm, anemia, leukocytosis and bilirubinemia. Jaundice was progressive and the patient died after a month. Severe thrombocytosis persisted throughout the course. Main autopsy findings were cancer of gallbladder with metastasis to the liver, fibrosis of spleen and purulent bronchopneumonia. A possible mechanism of unusually severe degree of thrombocytosis associated with the present case is discussed in light of the literature.

Establishment of a T-cell line from human lymphosarcoma.

A leukemic T-cell line, designated as TALL-1, has been established in continuous culture from the bone marrow of a patient with a leukemic phase of T-cell lymphosarcoma. TALL-1 cells have T-cell properties and lack Epstein-Barr virus or its genome. The cells of TALL-1 line are considered to have originated from the donor's leukemic cells on the basis of their cytogenetic, morphological, and surface features.

Human leukemic "null" cell line (NALL-1).

A human lymphoblast cell line, NALL-1, was established from the peripheral blood of a patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). NALL-1 cells had neither properties of T and B cells nor Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Many characteristics of the NALL-1 line were distinct from those of numerous EBV-positive lymphoblastoid cell lines previously reported. NALL-1 cells are considered to have originated from the donor's leukemic cells on the basis of their cytogenetic, morphologic and functional features. The NALL-1 line is the first human leukemic "null" cell line derived from ALL. The significance of this cell line is disscussed.

Establishment of an Epstein-Barr virus-negative B-cell lymphoma line from a Japanese Burkitt's lymphoma and its serial passage in hamsters.

An Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-negative lymphoma line (JBL) was established in vitro from pleural effusion of an EBV-seropositive 29-year-old Japanese female with Burkitt's lymphoma. JBL cells as well as her original lymphoma cells bore monoclonal surface IgM with lambda light chains. The JBL line grew in single cell suspension with a doubling time of 30 hours. Attempts were made to serially transplant JBL cells in antilymphocyte serum-treated newborn hamsters; intraperitoneal implantation of 1-3 X 10(7) cells gave rise to invasive tumors in all recipients with death after 10 to 14 days. The hamster-passage line, now in the 9th passage, has been converted to an ascitic form with progression to leukemia in some animals. A "starry sky" pattern closely resembling the human tumor material was preserved in every tumor through serial animal passage.

Zonation of the adrenal cortex. II. Effect of BSA on coupling efficiency of mitochondria isolated from the zona glomerulosa of the bovine adrenal cortex.

Effect of bovine serum albumin on coupling efficiency of mitochondria isolated from the zona glomerulosa of the bovine adrenal cortex in various media was examined polarographically and electron microscopically. Albumin restored the coupling efficiency of mitochondria isolated from the zona glomerulosa regardless of isolation media when succinate or malate was oxidizable substrate. Respiratory controls greater than 5 were obtained. Albumin, however, had no effect when glutamate, beta-hydroxybutylate and pyruvate were the oxidizable substrates. The conditions have been found under which mitochondria of the zona glomerulosa stay in the orthodox configuration and yet coupled.

Down's syndrome: karyotypic stability of trisomy 21 in an established lympho-blastoid cell line.

A trisomic lymphoblastoid cell line derived from the peripheral blood of a patient with Down's syndrome was sequentially analyzed for chromosome constitution for 16.5 months of continuous culture in vitro. The cell line was found to maintain a modal chromosome number of 47 with trisomy 21. Parallel studies of modal chromosomes before and after banding procedures revealed no structural abnormalities except trisomy 21.
