Valuable Serum Markers in Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis.

abstract：:The surface and cytoplasmic expression of CD1a molecules was analysed by indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) and dot blot assay (DBA) in a panel of 40 acute and chronic leukaemias. Thirty-two per cent of the samples were positive by IIF but, surprisingly, 72 per cent of the patients were positive by DBA, suggesting the ...
