`INTERNATIONAL UNION AGAINST ·cANCER
`The International Union Against Cnncer is a non-governmcn1al, voluntary organization devoted sol~ly
`, promoting throughout the world the campaign against cancer in its research, therapeutic and prevenuve
`1x-cts. Over the years, the UICC has developed into a world-wide association with member-organizations
`1n over 79 coun1ries. It s1rivcs to achieve its aim by facilitating the exchange of information between national
`cancer organizations, holding international cancer congresses, conferences and symposia, standardizing
`nomenclatures and classifications, and by stimulating national elforts against cancer.
`The UICC publishes the International Journal of Cancer, Monographs Manuals Technical Reports,
`and 1he UICC B11/le1i11. The International Union Against Cancer ha~ recei~cd financi~I assistance for the

`suggest e nhance d growth potential of lymphobla sts
`resisting antile ukem ic therapy.
`
`Acu te lymp hoblast ic leu kem ia (ALL) contributes
`up to 35 % o f a ll childhood malignancies. A ltho ugh
`the prognosis o f ALL improved after introd uctio n
`of more efficient ra dio- and c hemotherapy (Pinkel
`et al. , 1972), abo u t 50 % o f the patie nts rela psed
`within 5 years a fte r first rem issio n (Aur et al.,
`1974). Sim ila rly, a grea t number o f child ren sufferi ng
`from non-Hodgk in lympho ma (N HL) term inate in
`leukemic genera liza tio n. Therefo re, ea rly recognitio n
`of patients with h igh risk o f relapse would be
`importa nt for the prognosis a nd possib ly a lso for
`an initial intensificatio n o f the therapy in this gro up.
`A considerable nu m ber o f these patienLS express
`T cell surface markers ( Bo rella er al., 1973), a lt h o ugh
`relapses occur in T -ma rker negative ALL as well.
`In the
`la tter gro u p differen t para meters (initial
`leukocyte cou nt, age of the pa tient) may allow some
`Prediction o f prognosis. Nevertheless a better
`characterizatio n o f
`the
`lymphoblasts
`is urgently
`needed .
`Leukemic cell lines represent a n excellent tool in
`the search for tu mo r-specific characteristics. The
`almost un li mited q uantity, the lack o f co n tami-
`
`na tion by no rma l leu kocytes and their co nven ient
`availability a re helpful
`in ma ny experimen tal
`designs. As a prereq uis ite, however, the lack o f
`Epstein-Ba rr vi rus (E BY) genomes and the ident ity
`of pro perties o f cu ltured cells a nd pr imary tumo r
`cells have to be ensured. U p to now these c r iter ia
`have been fulfi lled in o n ly a few cell lines estab lished

`
`Sixty-two explants from peripheral blood, bone
`marrow and cerebral fluid of children with acute
`lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and leukemic trans(cid:173)
`formed non-Hodgkin
`lymphoma (NHL) were
`cultivated for at least 8 weeks. Although lymphatic
`cells persisted up to 16 weeks in tissue culture, no
`proliferation was observed in 54 cultures. From the
`r_emaining cultures, eight permanently growing cell
`lines we re obtained. Five of these were EBNA
`(Epstein-Barr virus-specific nuclear antigen)-posi(cid:173)
`t ive. Three, however, were ESNA-negative and
`lacked Epstein-Barr virus genomes . Two cell lines
`(KM-3 and SH-2) expressed neither B nor T cell
`characte ristics. One line (JM) expressed T cell
`characteristics and complement receptors. The
`g_rowi ng lymphatic cells represented leukemic cells,
`since the pattern of cytochemical staining and that
`of membrane receptors of lymphoblasts from the
`same donor prior to cultivation were identical.
`~II le uke mic cell lines were derived from patients
`1n relapse. In contrast, no proliferation of leukemic
`cells occurred in explants from patients revealing
`the first manifestation of the disease. These results
`suggest enhanced growth potential of lymphoblasts
`resisting anti leukemic therapy.
`
`Acute lymphoblas tic le u kemia (ALL) contributes
`up to 35 % o f a ll c hildhood malignancies. A ltho ugh
`the Prognosis o f ALL improved a fte r introduc tion
`of mo re efficie nt radio - a nd c hemo therapy ( Pinke l
`et_ al., 1972), about SO % o f the patients re lapsed
`WHhin S years a fter fir t remission (Aur er al.,
`1974). Similarly, a great numbe r o f child re n suffering
`frorn non-H odgkin lympho ma (N H L) terminate in
`leukemic gene ra liza tio n . Therefo re. early recogn ition
`?f patients w ith high ris k of relapse wo uld be

`an iniiial intensificatio n of the the rapy in this group.
`A considerable number of these patienlS express

`macrophages and occasionally fibroblasts began to
`spread as a feeder layer a few days after explan(cid:173)
`tatio n. Fibroblasts usually overgrew the proliferating
`macrop hages. In the presence of a feeder
`layer
`lymphatic cells persisted up to 16 weeks with no
`~ign of proliferation, then their viability decreased
`s lowly. Cultured lymphoblasts deri ved from the
`cerebral fluid, in contrast, s urv ived only for a few
`days. Permanently growing cell lines were obtained
`from eight cultures. Five of these harbored EBV,
`s ince the cell reactions were ESNA-positive, and
`revealed surface-bound immunoglobulin.
`
`Pa,ients and establisl1111e111 of cell lines
`Leukemic cell lines were established from samples
`of the following patients.
`Patient K.M. The line KM-3 was established after
`30 days' c ulti vation of a blood sample from a
`l 2-year-old boy during his second relapse of A L L.
`The patient initially showed hepa tomegaly and a
`lotal white blood cell count of 20,000 cells/111111 3
`•
`After chemotherapy aDd s ubsequent irradiation of
`the central nervous sys1em, two relapses occurred
`a fter 27 a nd 32 months, followed by death after a
`furlher 4 months.
`Parient S.H. The line Sl-1-2 was derived from cells
`o r a bone-marrow sample obtained from a 14-year(cid:173)
`old boy with N HL after le ukemic trans fo rmatio n.
`Proliferation was observed after 60 days of culti(cid:173)
`vation. At the beginning of the disease the patient
`had an appendectomy
`fo llowed by
`inte tina l
`o bs truction 4 weeks later. A renewed laparotomy
`establis hed a N H L which obs truc te d the ileocecal
`valve. After e ra dication o f the tumor by hemicolec(cid:173)
`tonw and combined ileotransversostomy, chemo(cid:173)
`therapy and radiatio n therapy were slarled. Three
`rnonths later leukemk cells appeared in bone marro ,,
`and cerebral nuid. D eath occurred after 2 further
`OlOnths. The line was lo s t for un k no w n reaso ns afler

`s kull, four relapses occurred within 7 months. The
`patient 's condition detcrio raled due to meningeal
`leukemia during the fourth re lapse a nd he died.
`The line was established from cells o bta ined during
`the ftrst relapse. Proliferation of J M lymphoblasts
`s tarted as early as 7 days after explantation; the
`cells were passaged for the first time a fter o nly
`l4 days.

`The three lines grew as s ingle-cell s uspensio ns

`from donor wich de11n1te y proven a nt1-YCA titers
`ha,e been esta bli hed so far ( Meneze et al., 1975 ;
`Epstein et al., 1976). The lines S H-2 and KM-3 were
`obtained from patients with e ndogeno us E BY titers,
`since
`the transmissio n of a ntibodies by blood
`transfusion o r a ppl ication of human gammaglobulin
`was excluded. The lack o f E BY in the line KM-3,
`SH-2 and JM was shown by the lack of E BNA, by
`the failure to detect EBY genomes by reassocia tion
`with radioactively labelled E BY-DNA, a nd by the
`Jack of typical c:1aracteristics of EBY-transformed
`B lymphocytes (membrane-bound immunoglobulin,
`formation o f colonies and cytoplasmatic project ions
`in tissue culture). The leukemic origin of the estab(cid:173)
`lished cells was confirmed by the identical pattern
`of cytochemical sta ining and cell membrane recep(cid:173)
`tors as compared to fresh
`leukemic cells. Acid
`phosphatase staining in the line JM was negative
`after eight passages. Therefore a change in other
`properties of cells kept in tissue culture has to be
`considered. All three lines were derived fro m male
`donors and revealed diploid male karyotypes. In
`addition each of them was characterized by distinct
`chromosomal markers (Schwanitz, 1976, unpub(cid:173)
`lished).
`KM-3 and SH-2 revealed only P~-microglobul in
`and Con-A recepto rs, but neither B nor T charac(cid:173)
`teristics. T he establishment of leukemic
`·• null ,.
`lines from patients with a blast crisis of a chronic
`rnyeloblastic leukemia was a lready reported (Mino(cid:173)
`Wada er al., 1977). The patients KM and SH,
`however, had a n ALL or leukemic-tra nsformed
`NHL, respectively, a nd no Philadelphia chromo(cid:173)
`somes were detected in the es tablished leukemic cells
`(Schwanitz, 1976, unpublished).
`A few cell lines with T-cell c :1aracteristics have
`already been established (Foley er al., 1965; Ada ms
`~ al., 1968; M in owada et al., 1972, 1977). The

`suggests a thym1c o rigin, s ince
`: rip~leral T lymphocytes bind no S RBC under
`entical conditions. T he detectio n of complement
`
`recepto rs (after inhi bition of T-rosette fo rmation by
`try ps inizat ion o f SRBC) o n the mem brane o f JM
`cells correspo nds
`to
`the findings obtained with
`another T cell line (Theofilopoulos et al., 1974) a nd
`a lso p rimary T lympho ma cells (Ste in e l al., 1976).
`Fetal thymocytes a lso reveal complement receptors
`and this was regarded as a n ind ication for the
`o rigin of T lym phoblasts (Stein el al., 1976).
`The presence of autologo us macrophages o r
`fibroblasts obvio usly prolonged
`the survival o f
`prima ry cultured lymphoblasts. Viable lymphatic
`cells persisted for periods as long as 16 weeks (as
`opposed to the short surviva l of normal unstimu(cid:173)
`lated lymphocytes). Similarly, the presence o f fibro(cid:173)
`blasts or macro phages enhances the esta blishment
`of EBY-transformed B lymphocytes (Schneider and
`zur Ha usen, 1975).
`An important aspect is that all leukemic cell lines
`were derived from explants obtained during a
`relap e or leu kemic transformation. Most o f the
`T cell lines (Adams et al., 1968 ; M inowada el al.,
`1972, 1977) and a leukemic·· null'. line (NALM-1,
`M inowada et al .. 1977) were also obtained during
`a rela pse. In contrast, no ne of the 34 ex plants
`derived from patients with a primary manifestatio n
`resulted in a permanent growth. T aken together,
`these results suggest a n enhanced growth potential
`of
`those
`lymphoblasts which
`resisted chemo(cid:173)
`therapy, although the efficiency o f es tablishment _is
`very low. None of the IO grid culture' resulted in
`permanent growth a nd the tissue culture techniques
`ha ve to
