We have determined the percentage of CD5+ B lymphocytes in the peripheral blood of cancer patients and healthy controls, using antibodies directed at the CD5 and CD19 (pan-B) markers. The frequencies of CD5+ B cells, expressed as a percentage of total B cells, ranged from 14.3 to 57.5% in the controls and from 14.8 to 82.8% in the patient population. One-third of the cancer patients had frequencies greater than 2 s.d. above the mean of the control population. The CD5+ B cell fraction expressed as a percentage of total lymphocytes was also significantly elevated in this group of cancer patients. These results suggest that the CD5+ B cell compartment may be affected by the malignant process or by the therapy modality employed. The plasma levels of several naturally occurring autoantibodies, the products of the CD5+ B cells, were also assessed in cancer patients and controls. No significant differences were observed when reactivity to several autoantigens was measured. These included nuclear components and phospholipids.
