title: Analysis of the phenotype and cellular DNA content in some leukemias by flow cytometry.
abstract: Phenotype and cell cycle distribution in peripheral blood and bone marrow mononucleated cells was studied in patients with different leukemias: T-ALL, AML, CLL, CML and plasmocytoma. DNA flow cytometry with propidium iodide fluorescence was used. Differences in cell cycle between mononucleated cells from T-ALL and CML patients on one hand and normal controls on the other were seen in peripheral blood but not in bone marrow specimens. Patients with AML, CLL and plasmocytoma showed a cell cycle distribution of mononucleated cells similar to normal controls. DNA content analysis in some leukemias were discussed.
