Abstract
We report that the telomerase activity of bone marrow samples from accelera ted phase and blast crisis chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) was higher than t hat in chronic phase CML and control samples. This difference might be due to the number of immature cells, but some inherent changes might also exist during the transformation of CML.
