Patients with acute leukaemia represent a heterogeneous group with regard to prognosis and response to therapy. In the past, distinction between leukaemias of myeloid and lymphoid origin was based mainly on morphologic and histochemical analysis of the malignant cells. Further advances were made when lymphoid leukaemias were subclassified into T-cell (E rosette+), B-cell (SIg+) and later, pre-B-cell (cytoplasmic Ig+) types using polyclonal antisera and sheep red cell rosetting techniques. Subsequently, heteroantisera against other lymphocyte or leukaemia associated antigens expanded our knowledge of leukaemic diversity. However, the variable specificity and limited availability of the antibody reagents and the difficulties of standardizing the rosetting assays made routine phenotyping of leukaemia in the clinical laboratory impractical. The development of monoclonal antibody technology offers the advantages of large scale production and widespread availability of standardized reagents (Kohler & Milstein 1975). Moreover, the large number of differentiation antigens defined by monoclonal antibodies have been useful in further refining the classification of acute leukaemias.The initial strategy in making monoclonal antibodies was to produce reagents which detect glycoproteins, glycolipids or carbohydrates selectively expressed by leukaemic cells. However, all antibodies produced to date have reacted with antigens that have not been specific for leukaemic cells. In many cases, these antigens have been associated with a stage of normal lymphocyte differentiation, and their presence on leukaemic cells has suggested as a hypothesis that leukaemic cells are blocked at a particular stage of differentiation. This hypothesis is by no means universally accepted. By relating leukaemias to what is known about normal physiology, however, it is possible to present a more coherent picture of the complexity of leukaemia phenotyping. It is for this reason that such an approach will be used where possible in this review. Three International Workshops on Human Leukocyte Differentiation Antigens have been held and summaries of two of them published (Reinherz, Haynes & Nadler 1986; Bernard et al. 1984). At least 400 antibodies directed against surface structures on T-lymphocytes, B-lymphocytes, and myeloid-
