Acid hydrolases in B-chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL): a comparison with normal peripheral B lymphocytes and normal B-cell subset with the phenotype of B-leukaemic cells.

abstract：:To characterize the molecular mechanisms involved in the transition from the chronic phase to blast crisis in chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), gene expression profiles of leukemic cells from patients in the chronic and blast crisis phases were analyzed using an 8.7K cDNA chip and real-time PCR.
