Leukemic Stem Cells in Childhood High-Risk ALL/t(9;22) and t(4;11) Are Present in Primitive Lymphoid-Restricted CD34+CD19− Cells

Open questions in the pathogenesis of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) are which hematopoietic cell is target of the malignant transformation and whether primitive stem cells contribute to the leukemic clone.
