Embryonic-fetal erythroid characteristics of a human leukemic cell line.
Open accessAbstract
We have studied a number of cell surface, enzyme, and protein markers in the human leukemic K562 cell line. We have confirmed previous observations that these cells accumulate human embryonic hemoglobins after exposure to hemin. In addition, our results demonstrated that these cells possess in the "ininduced" state i surface antigen, lactate dehydrogenase isoenzymes characteristic of embryonic or fetal erythroid cells, fetal and embryonic globin chains, and globin mRNAs. The levels if i antigen, embryonic globin chains, and embryonic globin mRNA increased substantially after exposure of the cells to hemin in suspension culture. In contrast, K562 cells lacked several surface, enzymatic, and functional properties typical of granulocytes, lymphocytes, monocytes, or adult erythroblasts, including HLA surface antigens, surface immunoglobulins, sheep erythrocyte rosetting, phagocytosis, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase, carbonic anhydrase, ABO and Rh blood groups, and adult hemoglobins. The K562 cell line therefore exhibits phenotypic properties of embryonic erythroid progenitor cells and a quantitative increase in the expression of some of these properties can be achieved by exposure of the cells to hemin.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
