Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The clinical course of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) is variable. ZAP-70 expression is believed to provide prognostic information. The flow cytometric detection of ZAP-70 is difficult because it is an intracellular antigen with weak expression in CLL. Consensus has not been reached as to the best method for measurement. METHODS: We analyzed 72 CLL patient samples for ZAP-70 expression and IgVH...
