Ea. Frolova et al., HETEROGENEITY OF IMMUNOLOGICAL TYPES OF CHRONIC MYELOID-LEUKEMIA BLAST CRISIS, Gematologia i transfuziologia, 37(5-6), 1992, pp. 6-10
Phenotyping of blood cells derived from 12 patients with chronic myelo
id leukemia in blast crisis with the use of Mab panel to differentiati
on antigens of human hemopoietic cells in a flow cytofluorimeter revea
led heterogeneity of immunological phenotypes of blast cells. Subclone
s of blast cells were detected within each subset of disease at severa
l successive stages of differentiation. The qualitative and quantitati
ve composition of cell populations differing in immunological paramete
rs is changed as a result of therapy given.
