Quantification of residual disease in chronic myelogenous leukemia patients on interferon-alpha therapy by competitive polymerase chain reaction
15 Feb 1996
Abstract excerpt
Interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) induces cytogenetic responses of variable degree in patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). We sought to establish the relationship between BCR-ABL transcript numbers measured by competitive 2-step reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and cytogenetic status in CML patients treated with IFN-alpha. A total of 250 peripheral blood and 55 bone marrow samples...
