Detection of circulating ‘terminal transferase-positive’ cells does not predict relapse in acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Abstract
Serial samples of peripheral blood were obtained from 35 children with ALL over a period of 18 months. The mononuclear cells were examined for TdT by indirect immunofluorescence using an unpurified anti-calf thymus TdT as the primary antibody.
