In vitro studies were performed in two patients with B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia who developed pure red cell aplasia (CLL-PRCA). During the active phase of their red cell aplasia, there was a marked reduction in the numbers of erythroid colony-forming units (CFU-E). Unfractionated sera or separated IgG fractions from these patients did not impair CFU-E proliferation from either autologous or allogeneic marrows. Increased numbers of T lymphocytes were present in marrow aspirates of these patients. Analysis of these T cells indicated that 90 and 35%, respectively, bore Fc receptors for IgG (T gamma cells). Removal of T cells by E-rosetting techniques augmented CFU-E growth in CLL-PRCA 10-fold. Similar treatment of normal marrows did not cause similar enhanced growth of CFU-E. Co-cultures of marrow T cells or T gamma cells obtained during the active phase of CLL-PRCA suppressed CFU-E growth from autologous or allogeneic marrows. After achieving drug-induced remission of the PRCA, marrow T cells were no longer inhibitory. In contrast, BFU-E (erythroid burst-forming units) or granulocyte proliferation in diffusion chambers were not suppressed by CLL-PRCA T cells. These findings suggest that the development of PRCA in B-cell CLL may result from suppression of CFU-E proliferation by T gamma cells.
