Immunohistochemistry demonstrating the presence and localization of non-B and non-T cells of donor or recipient origin in engrafted spleens. (A) 20x (single color PAX5 and CD68) and 60x (dual color) IH images of representative spleens aggregated from 5 independent experiments; results with CLL1279 are demonstrated here. Aggregates contain CD68+ cells that are B lymphocytes as indicated by co-localization with PAX5 in dual color staining. Flow cytometry further demonstrates that CD5+CD19+ cells express CD68 upon transfer into NSG mice. (B) 20x and 40x magnification view of human CD20+ and CD3+ cells and mouse CD31+ cells by immunofluorescence of CLL-engrafted spleens; staining from a representative case of at least 10 independent experiments. (C) 20x and 40x magnification view of human CD20+ and CD3+ cells and mouse F4/80+ and CD21+/35+ cells after immunofluorescence staining of the same case.
