title: Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase as a leukemic marker in bone marrow transplant recipients.
abstract: Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase was measured in bone marrow samples from five patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in relapse before bone marrow transplantation and serially thereafter. This enzyme seems to be a sensitive marker which can serve as an early indicator of recurrence of the disease. It is not influenced by clinical graft-versus-host reaction.
