Abstract

We report a novel, reproducible methodology which enabled 10 human myeloma cell lines (HMCL) to be obtained from each of 10 tumor samples harvested from 9 patients with extramedullary proliferation. Fresh samples were cultured with interleukin 6 (IL-6) and granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) at a high cell density and resulting HMCL growth became progressively dependent on IL-6 alone, no longer requiring GM-CSF. These HMCL, which had the same immunoglobulin gene rearrangements as the patients' original myeloma cells, were designated XG-1 to XG-9. XG HMCL had a plasma cell morphology, expressed plasma cell antigen (Ag), namely cytoplasmic immunoglobulins, CD38, B-B4 Ag, and CD77, and lacked the usual B-cell Ag. They also expressed activation antigens such as CD28 with coexpression of CD28 and its ligand, B7 Ag, in four HMCL. Six HMCL expressed CD40, 4 CD23, and 5 its ligand, CD21. The XG HMCL bore adhesion molecules VLA-4 and CD44 (all 10 HMCL), VLA-5 (7 HMCL), and CD56 (4 HMCL). Finally, cytogenetic study of 8 HMCL indicated a 14q+ chromosome, and t(11,14) translocation was found in 6 of 8 and 5 of 8 HMCL, respectively. The possibility of obtaining malignant plasma cell lines reproducibly from each patient with extramedullary proliferation offers a unique tool for studying the phenotype and abnormalities of the still unidentified tumor stem cell in this disease.

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.
