[The characterization of leukemic cells].
Some aspects of characterizing leukaemic cells are presented. The use of the FAB classification as well as the value of electronmicroscopy in cases of leukaemias unclassifiable with the lightmicroscope are discussed. Developmental stages can be assessed by means of immunological methods. Relatively new is the use of monoclonal antisera. The significance of immunological typing for clinical use is in discussion. Enzyme assays as TdT do have a contribution in diagnostics. The selective use of methods for characterizing the leukaemic cells will make it possible in future to individualize the diagnosis.
