Chromosome abnormalities defined by conventional cytogenetics in plasma cell leukemia: what have we learned about its biology?

abstract：:Langerhans cells originate in bone marrow and probably belong to the monocyte-macrophage lineage. CD1 is a specific marker of Langerhans cells. By immunofluorescence and immunoelectron microscopy, CD1a antigen and myeloid markers (CD11, CD13, CD14, CD15, CD33, HLA-DR) were studied in 53 cases of acute myeloid leukemia...
