The Prognostic Significance of Combaind Expression of Zap-70 and Cd38 in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia.
Our aim was to assess the inter links of the markers CD38 and ZAP-70 based on our materials, the attitude according to the disease stage, and to document which of them had leading meaning for prognosis and treatmend of the disease. In our study we have used flow cytometry for detection CD38 and ZAP-70+ markers expression. (58 patients to assessments their prognostic value in сhronic lymphocytic...
متن کاملZAP-70 methylation status is associated with ZAP-70 expression status in chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES ZAP-70 expression is a recognized prognostic marker in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). The aim of this study was to analyze whether the methylation status of the ZAP-70 gene is associated with expression of the ZAP-70 protein. DESIGN AND METHODS Patients with CLL (n=87), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (n=13), mantle cell leukemia (n=13) and splenic marginal zone ly...
متن کاملZAP-70 expression and prognosis in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia.
BACKGROUND Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) is a heterogeneous disease; many patients never need treatment, whereas some have poor outcomes. New treatments, which can induce complete remissions, allow patients with poor outlook to be treated while they are still asymptomatic. Whether or not the IgVH gene is mutated is the best predictor of clinical outcome, but this assay is unsuited to the ...
متن کاملExpression of ZAP-70 is associated with increased B-cell receptor signaling in chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
We examined isolated leukemia B cells of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) for expression of zeta-associated protein 70 (ZAP-70). CLL B cells that have nonmutated immunoglobulin variable region genes (V genes) expressed levels of ZAP-70 protein that were comparable to those expressed by normal blood T cells. In contrast, CLL B cells that had mutated immunoglobulin variable V gene...
متن کاملClonal heterogeneity in chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells: superior response to surface IgM cross-linking in CD38, ZAP-70-positive cells.
BACKGROUND Patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia whose cells express CD38 and ZAP-70 and utilize unmutated Ig VH region genes have a very poor prognosis. We studied whether cells expressing CD38 and ZAP-70 are more susceptible to stimulation through B-cell receptors than are cells that do not express CD38 and ZAP-70. DESIGN AND METHODS CD38-positive and CD38-negative leukemic cells were ...
