✦ Synopsis
Ninety-eight percent of the cells isolated from a malignant pleural effusion in a case of American Burkitt's lymphoma showed membrane fluorescence to antihuman IgM antisera, while only 2% of the cells formed spontaneous rosettes with sheep red blood cells. It is concluded that the Burkitt cells in the malignant effusion are derived from bursal equivalent lymphocytes. Epstein-Barr (E-B) viral titers to both viral capsule antigen and early antigen were not elevated. The significance of these findings is discussed.

The cellular features of adeno-endocrine-cell carcinoma of appendiceal origin are presented. The pleural fluid contained metastatic predominantly atypical cells in linear cluster accompanied by numerous mesothelial cells. The cells had small round nuclei, with a slight tendency to molding; nucleoli
We have previously described an MAb referred to as 38.13 which reacts with a glycolipid membrane antigen (named BLA) on Burkitt lymphoma (BL) lines. The BLA antigen and other 6-cell differentiation markers have been studied on BL lines treated with sodium butyrate, agents from the phorbol-diester se
Using culture techniques, we have been able to grow occult tumor cells from the bone marrow from cancer patients and have developed a new malignant lymphoid cell line, OMA-BL-I, from the bone marrow of a 17-year-old patient with recurrent Burkitt's lymphoma. The tumor cells grew rapidly in vitro in
