Quick Overview

Human T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia cell line with unique chromosomal translocation.

Detailed Summary

The Loucy cell line is a human T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) cell line established from the peripheral blood of a patient. It exhibits a distinct immunophenotype, characterized by expression of OKT3 and OKT4 markers, and lacks expression of OKT6, OKT8, and TdT. Cytogenetic analysis revealed a unique translocation between chromosomes 16 and 20 (t(16;20)(p12;q13)), along with a deletion of 5q and loss of an entire X chromosome. This cell line provides a valuable model for studying the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying T-ALL, particularly the role of chromosomal translocations in leukemogenesis. The presence of this specific translocation may offer insights into the pathogenesis of T-ALL and could be useful for developing targeted therapies.
