Surface Particles on Leukemic Lymphocytes in Humans

Medical Research Council, Demyelinating Diseases Unit, Newcastle General Hospital, Westgate Road, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE4 6 BE, England

Apart from their size (5 times the size), unique virus-like particles similar morphologically to those associated with murine leukemia have been seen in various stages of formation at the surface of human leukemia lymphocytes (6 chronic lymphatic and 2 myeloid). The particles were 400 to 500 nm in diameter with a nucleoid core of about 320 nm. These particles are very different from any known mycoplasma.
