Abstract excerpt
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) techniques utilizing clonospecific T cell receptor (TCR) gamma or delta junctional regions constitute broadly applicable strategies to study the clinical relevance of minimal residual disease (MRD) in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients. For the majority of cases current PCR protocols allow the reliable detection of one neoplastic cell among 10(4) to 10(6) normal...
