This work aims to demonstrate that CD4(+)CD56(+) malignancies arise from transformed cells of the lymphoid-related plasmacytoid dendritic cell (pDC) subset. The analysis of malignant cells from 7 patients shows that in all cases, like pDCs, leukemic cells are negative for lineage markers CD3, CD19, CD13, CD33, and CD11c but express high levels of interleukin-3 receptor alpha chain (IL-3Ralpha), HLA-DR, and CD45RA. Tumor cells produce interferon-alpha in response to influenza virus, while upon… CONTINUE READING
