title: [An analysis of acute leukemia cells TfR expression in children].
abstract: There are a lot of transferrin receptors on the acute leukemia cells. We used the method of "Receptor Radioligand Assay" to determine the numbers of TfR binding sites on leukemia cells from 20 child patients with acute lymphocyte leukemia (ALL) and 9 with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The results showed the numbers of TfR binding sites of AML cells were higher than those of ALL cells, and the numbers of complete remission group were lower than those of dead or relapse group. This indicated there might be a relationship between the TfR expression and the prognosis.
