The authors discuss the reported data and the results of own studies characterizing the current state of the problem of the phenotyping of leukemic cells. Emphasize the necessity of the use of a complex of morphological, cytochemical and immunological research methods for identification of tumor cells in children suffering from acute leukemia.

The activity of nucleoli-organizing (NOR's) regions was studied in leukemic cells of 53 children with immunologically typical ALL. The Ag-negative type of ALL was found in 9 cases of IA-ALL and Comm(+)-ALL. Dominating cells were not argentaffin. Some cytological peculiarities of Ag-negative cases have been demonstrated: lower presence of E(+)-receptor on circulating lymphoid cells, the greater number of cells with smooth surface which was revealed by the scanning electron microscopic method. The cases when the product of Ag-philic reaction was impossible to be revealed are discussed.

Characteristics of lymphocyte populations in the bone marrow and peripheral blood were comparatively analyzed in children with non-T acute lymphoid leukemia (ALL) during remission, and in the reference group of children with conditionally normal hemopoiesis, as well as with population of lymphocytes obtained from the femur of 22-32-week fetuses. The analysis has shown pronounced changes in the children during remission. The shifts in the structure of lymphocyte population in the bone marrow of children during remission of non-T ALL are considered as compensatory, under conditions of a secondary immunodeficiency due to an abrupt diminution of the absolute number of bone marrow and circulating lymphocytes.

In children with acute leukemia, at the initial period of the disease the absolute number of T-lymphocytes is within the normal range, when the values of the total number of leucocytes is low or normal, and it is increased in cases with high initial leucocytosis. Dissociation of T-cell marker signs in the lymphocyte population has been revealed that evidences the presence of functionally defective T-cells in the circulation. The value of the relative content of E+ T-cells over 10% in the circulation is of prognostic significance.
The study of the activity of nucleolus-forming areas in bone marrow and blood cells in 67 children with acute leukemia has shown the parameter variability depending on histogenetic affiliation, differentiation degree and on the proliferative activity of the cells.
Physical characteristics of bone marrow cells of normal donors were comparatively studied with those of children with immune neutropenia. As a result of the bone marrow cell separation in the density gradient according to their sedimentation rate, fractions enriched with cells of one histogenetic series (lymphoid, erythroid and granulocytic) were obtained. Electrophoretic mobility of immature granulocytes in normal donors differed from that in children with immune neutropenia.
