A monoclonal antibody (anti-B1) specific for a unique B cell surface differentiation antigen was used to characterize the malignant cells from patients with leukemias or lymphomas. All tumor cells from patients with lymphomas or chronic lymphocytic leukemias, bearing monoclonal .kappa. or .lambda. L chain, expressed the B1 antigen. Tumor cells from T cell leukemias and lymphomas or acute myeloblastic leukemias were unreactive. Approximately 50% of acute lymphoblastic leukemias (ALL) of non-T origin and 50% of chornic myelocytic leukemia in blast crisis were also anti-B1 reactive. Of 28 patients with the common ALL antigen (CALLA) positive form of ALL, 21 were anti-B1 positive; 0 of 13 patients with CALLA negative ALL were reactive. An antigen present on normal B cells is expressed on the vast majority of B cell lymphomas and on .apprx. 75% of CALLA positive ALL, suggesting that these tumors may share a common B cell lineage.
