title: Bone-marrow T-lymphoid cells: a simple method for enriched specimen.
abstract: A simple method for immunological characterization of lymphoblasts from hypoplastic or fibrotic bone marrow aspirates is described. The method is quite suitable for immunological diagnostic purposes in classifying acute lymphoblastic leukemias (ALL) at onset of the disease. In fact, T-, common and classified ALL appear to have a different prognosis with consequent different patient management.
