    Leukaemic lymphoblasts in children with acute lymphoid leukaemia show significantly fewer rosette-forming cells. Lymphocyte rosette-forming cell capacity returns to normal levels after achieving complete remission.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Pediatric Oncology
    • Hematology

    Background:

    • Acute lymphoid leukaemia (ALL) is a significant pediatric malignancy.
    • T-lymphocyte rosettes (RFC) are a marker of lymphocyte function.
    • Understanding immune cell function in ALL is crucial for treatment monitoring.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the sheep red blood cell rosette-forming capacity of leukaemic lymphoblasts and remission lymphocytes in children with ALL.
    • To assess changes in rosette-forming cells during different phases of ALL treatment.

    Main Methods:

    • Isolation of leukaemic lymphoblasts and remission lymphocytes from pediatric ALL patients.
    • Quantification of sheep red blood cell rosette-forming cells (RFC) in patient samples.
    • Comparison of RFC levels in pre-treatment, during chemotherapy, and remission phases against healthy controls.

    Main Results:

    • Pre-treatment lymphoblasts exhibited significantly reduced RFC compared to controls (4.6% vs. 27.5%).
    • During induction chemotherapy, RFC remained significantly lower than control values (15.7%).
    • Post-remission, RFC levels approached normal values (22.5%).

    Conclusions:

    • Reduced rosette-forming cell capacity is a characteristic of leukaemic lymphoblasts in pediatric ALL.
    • Lymphocyte RFC function recovers significantly following successful treatment and achievement of complete remission.
    • RFC analysis may serve as a potential indicator of immune status in ALL patients.
