5. Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Lymphocytosis seen in blood, but most leukemic cells are in non-vascular areas including bone marrow, lymph nodes, and spleen Usually detected upon routine blood workup as an elevated white cell or lymphocyte count (~3x10 10 total in blood) Clonal expansion of a CD5 + B lymphocyte with low surface immunoglobulin (Ig) Most clones express predominantly IgM isotype surface Ig, but ~7% are predominantly IgG or IgA, though in those cases IgM clonal relatives can be found
7. Take home messages 1. CLL results from the non-random selection and transformation of B lymphocytes expressing B-cell antigen receptors (BCRs) of restricted amino acid structure 2. These BCRs can be poly- and auto-reactive, binding natural as well as novel autoantigens generated by apoptosis and other catabolic processes 3. The clinically-distinct subgroups differ in the retention or loss of poly- and auto-reactivity, with the retention of polyreactivity being associated with worse clinical disease

15. IgV gene segment recombination Heavy Chain Light Chain ( / λ ) V H (44) HC = V H x D x J H = 44 x 27 x 6 = 7,128 D (27) J H (6) J L (5/7) V L (46/36) V H DJ H rearrangement: ~1 : 7,000 = RAG mediated recombination

18. CLL cases with remarkably similar B-cell receptors Ghiotto et al . J Clin Invest 113: 1008 , 2004
19. IgV gene segment recombination Heavy Chain Light Chain ( / λ ) V H (44) D (27) J H (6) J L (5/7) V L (46/36) = RAG mediated recombination
20. Because of the differences that occur at the junctions when gene segments combine, the likelihood that the same V H DJ H - V L J L rearrangement with the same junctional characteristic would occur in two different B cells is even much more remote ≈ 1 / 1x10 8 – 1 : 1x10 12 Therefore, if the gene structure of the Ig variable region found in B-CLL cells from different patients is very similar or identical, then this must indicate a selective process of leukemogenesis that targets B cells with a given type of Ig V region.

Notas do Editor
I would like to thank the organizers for giving me the opportunity to discuss our research results with you. This represents the work of not only myself but of many others including… Lu, Katerina, Rosa Steve and Kanti for clinical collaboration Nick for support, guidance and inspiration and others that I will acknowledge throughout the talk
This is a typical example of flow cytometry data showing that CLL 068 mAb reacts to MEACs. This is a negative control. This shows that CLL 068 binds to a subset of dead cells (AV-PE positive) and not live cells. This shows that CLL 068 binds only to MEACs (MYHIIA positive). And not other cells.
This is a graph that shows the binding of 26 CLL mAbs listed on the x-axis to MEACs… … with the cutoff of 1.5 for MEAC binding. 16 mAbs bind well/. This is a grouping of the CLL mAbs based on having a shared common “stereotyped” sequence, which I do not have time to describe, … but would just like to point out that the stereotyped groups bind in the same manner. This shows which CLL mAbs are mutated or unmutated, … U = is less than 2% mutation in the IGHV, which correlates with bad patient survival … M = is greater than 2% mutation in the IGHV, which correlates with good patient outcome. All the MEAC binding mAbs are UM, except for 1 (15/16), which binds like the same stereotype subgroup “1” and is a borderline “Mut”. Those mAbs that do not bind MEACs well are a mixture of Mut (6) and four UM (4) mAbs. Because survival correlates with IGHV mutation, perhaps MEAC binding correlates with survival and help distinguish the UM that may survive better.. .
Indeed binding well to MEACs correlates to poor patient survival (24 patients have survival data)… Hi binding has a median survival of 99 months (n=15), Whereas Lo binding has not reached median survival (n=9). This is statistically significant P<0.0087. This significance is better than that for UM versus Mut (P<0.06) in this patient cohort. … this is because one mutated (CLL 154) and two unmutated (CLL 376 and 412) IGHV CLL patients having survival outcomes contrary to that expected for their IGHV mutation status.
IGHV mutation status versus patient survival (24 patients have survival data)… UM IGHV has a median survival of 118 months (n=18), Whereas Mut IGHV has not reached median survival (n=6). This is not quite statistically significant P<0.06. This significance is not as good as MEAC binding. … this is because one mutated (CLL 154) and two unmutated (CLL 376 and 412) IGHV CLL patients having survival outcomes contrary to that expected for their IGHV mutation status.

These results lead to the following inferences…
Just to end with a MODEL cell death (CLL or other) leading to MEAC formation and exposure of MYHIIA and other epitopes observed by Rosa This could be important for the initiation of CLL or the ongoing stimulation that may be required for CLL growth and development.
