Sexual assault: coping with crisis.
An unexpected long-distance phone call after midnight started the day. Susan, the daughter of an old friend, had been sexually assaulted. Mother and daughter had just returned from the emergency department, where Susan had been examined and treated. Now, they felt abandoned and hopeless. "Susan feels as if she was raped again by physicians, police and you nurses," shouted her mother. "I thought professionals were helpers!"

Dipeptidylaminopeptidase IV activity in normal and leukemic T-cell subpopulations.
Dipeptidylaminopeptidase IV (DAP IV) cytochemical reactivity was investigated in monoclonal antibody defined T-lymphocyte subpopulations from normal blood and in cells from a series of T-cell leukemias of defined immunologic phenotype. A combined monoclonal antibody/immunocolloidal gold technic, which enabled simultaneous visualisation of immunogold label and DAP IV reactivity, was used to study enzyme reactivity in normal T-cell subpopulations. Single or several discrete granules of DAP IV reaction product were observed in 72% of OKT3+ and OKT4+ cells, whereas a significantly (P less than 0.01) lower percentage of OKT8+ cells (41%) displayed positivity; B-cells were invariably DAP IV negative. In the T-cell leukemias, DAP IV reactivity was strongest in T-lymphoblastic lymphoma and T-prolymphocytic leukemia cells. In contrast, DAP IV activity was absent or expressed in a minority of cells of the more immature T-acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The enzyme reaction also was negative in lymphocytes from other mature T-cell leukemias: T-chronic lymphocytic leukemia (OKT8+), adult T-cell lymphoma-leukemia, and Sezary syndrome (both OKT4+). DAP IV expression did not parallel that of acid phosphatase or alpha-naphthyl acetate esterase in leukemic T-lymphoid cells except in T-lymphoblastic lymphoma and T-prolymphocytic leukemia, where a strong reaction with the three hydrolytic enzymes was observed.
