## Abstract Studies using chronic in vivo BrdU exposure, isolating primitive stem cells, and determining BrdU labeling, indicate that stem cells cycle. BrdU is also incorporated into DNA during damage/repair. DNA, which has incorporated BrdU due to cycle transit is heavier than normal, while the de

β¦ Synopsis
Murine B cell lymphomas and myelomas were examined for the expression of a determinant previously found exclusively on normal pluripotent stem cells colonyforming unit-spleen (CFU-s). This determinant(s), which is defined by a rabbit antimouse brain antiserum (RaMB), is present on the tumor stem cell population of some but not all B cell neoplasms examined. The determinant is not detected on tumor cells of the macrophage or T cell lineage. Absorption of the activity in RaMB with myeloma cells, concomitantly removed reactivity with the normal stem cell, CFU-s, and the myeloma stem cell, plasmacytoma CFU-s. Sorting analysis further showed that the antigen was diminished within a positive tumor population as cells acquired the capacity to secrete immunoglobulin. These studies suggest that this normal stem cell-associated antigen may also be an early differentiation antigen for the B cell lineage, and is expressed on some stem cells of B cell tumors.
