Entry terms

  • Blastogenesis
  • Blast Transformation
  • Lymphoblast Transformation
  • Lymphocyte Stimulation
  • Lymphocyte Transformation
  • Stimulation, Lymphocyte
  • Transformation, Blast
  • Transformation, Lymphoblast
  • Transformation, Lymphocyte

Note

  • lymphocyte transformation test goes here but do not index under specific agent inducing transformation unless particularly discussed; do not use for neoplastic transformation of lymphocytes ( = CELL TRANSFORMATION, NEOPLASTIC) or viral transformation of lymphocytes ( = CELL TRANSFORMATION, VIRAL); blast transformation in chronic myelogenous leukemia does not go here: index BLAST CRISIS

Scope note

  • Morphologic alteration of small B LYMPHOCYTES or T LYMPHOCYTES in culture into large blast-like cells able to synthesize DNA and RNA and to divide mitotically. It is induced by INTERLEUKINS; MITOGENS such as PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS, and by specific ANTIGENS. It may also occur in vivo as in GRAFT REJECTION.

History note

  • 2003 (1969); for BLAST TRANSFORMATION use BLAST CRISIS 1987-1992
