IMMUNOLOGICAL PHENOTYPING OF ACUTE LYMPHOBLASTIC LEUKEMIA ( ALL) IN UNIVERSITY AFFILIATED HOSPITALS: A PRELIMINARY REPORTON 50 PATIENTS

The peripheral blood and bone marrow samples from 50 patients with ALL were investigated by indirect immunofluorescent technique. The most common type of ALL was common-ALL (82%) and the least common was T-ALL (2%). Other subtypes of ALL were unclassified by our technique (8%), B-ALL (4%), and pre B-ALL (4%). The correlation between immunophenotype, clinical condition and hematological pro...

ALL different treatment options have a great impact on children weight and appetite. The improving prognosis for children with cancer refocuses attention to long-term outcomes with an emphasis on quality of life. More survival rate allows researchers to eval...

DETERMINATION OF A SHARED EPITOPE ON CELLS FROM ACUTE MYELOGENIC LEUKEMIA (AML) AND T-ACUTE LYMPHOBLASTIC LEUKEMIA ( T-ALL)

Two IgM monoclonal antibodies (MAb) with strong reactivity for granulocytes and to a lesser extent for lurkat cell lines were established by immunizing BALBI c mice with a histiocytic cell line (UY37). These two MAbs (designated as 6C9 and 4C4) reacted with blast cells of T-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) and acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) patients as well as leukemic cells from pat...

Bone Scintigraphy in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Leukemia is the most common childhood cancer and accounts for 30-40% of all malignancies. A retrospective review  was performed of the hospital records of 9 children, 6 boys and 3 girls, aged  from 2.5 to 15 years with ALL initially referred to Nemazee hospital Nuclear medicine center for whole body bone scanning between 2000 and 2002. Bone marrow pathology established ALL (L1) in two and ALL (...
