A New Human Erythroleukemic Line: Initial Characterization and Hemin-Induced Erythroid Differentiation

  • Chapter
Genetic and Phenotypic Markers of Tumors

Abstract

A new erythroleukemic line, designated IDA, has been established from a non-lymphoid acute leukemia of M6 type. This line is characterized by a doulgling time of 35.9 ± 2.5 h and a saturation density of ~ 3 x 106 cells/ml. Interestingly it is essentially euployd (modal No. of chromosomes, 46), although it may generate occasionally polyploid cells and elements with aberrations often involving chromosome 21. When treated with hemin ± DMSO, cells are induced to massive erythroid dfferentiation (up to ≧ 90% benzidine positive cells). The IDA line is characterized by spontaneous and induced production of embryonic ς- and ε-globin chains, as evaluated by analytical isoelectric-focusing of the haptoglobin-Sepharose purified globin fraction.
