Dear flow-ers,

I have a couple of questions to ask of the list:-

1. I have a patient with ALL (CD19+, CD10+, CD34+) who is post induction, with 21 bone marrow
which has a clear cut population of CD19+, CD10-, CD34- cells. In my book these are
haematogones. Does anyone know of a definative reference on this topic that I can use
to convince my collegues of this ??

2. I am keen to start including CD79a in my panel for lymphoid malignancies, unfortunately all the
CD791 clones I can locate are directed at intracellular domains on the antigen. What a pain to
include intracellular fix/perm steps for just 1 marker. Does anyone know of a CD79a clone directed at
one of the extracellular domains of this antigen ??

Thanks in advance
