Monoclonal antibodies directed against bladder tumor cells (10D1, 7C12, 6D1, 3C6, G4 and E7) and human leukocyte antigen (HLe1) were tested by flow cytometry on 68 bladder tumors involving 10 grade I, 29 grade II and 29 grade III tumors (WHO classification). According to their evolution stage, these tumors can be subdivided into 17 stage Pa, 34 stage P1, 7 stage P2 and 10 stage P3. Fifteen normal bladder samples were used as a control. Analysis of DNA content revealed a first group of 31 tumors with a unimodal DNA profile. In the second groups of 37 tumors, the DNA profile was bimodal. Cells from grade I tumors were labelled with 10D1 and 6D1 antibodies; all these cells showed a unimodal DNA profile. Grade III tumor cells were labelled with antibodies G4 and E7; most of these cells showed a bimodal DNA profile. The percentage of HLe1-positive cells decreased with the pathological grade and stage of tumor. The composition of infiltrating leukocytes was different in unimodal and bimodal tumors. In conclusion, cells of low-grade tumors can be identified with 10D1 and 6D1 antibodies, and antigens recognized by G4 and E7 antibodies are mostly expressed by aneuploid cells. HLe1 antibody demonstrates the importance of the inflammatory reaction in bladder tumors. Moreover, in flow cytometry, leukocytes within a tumor could be used as internal reference for precise measurement of the DNA content of tumor cells.
