Absolute number of circulating CD34 + cells is abnormally low in refractory anemias and extremely high in RAEB and RAEB-t; novel pathologic features of myelodysplastic syndromes identified by highly sensitive flow cytometry
We scored absolute numbers of circulating CD34 + cells by a highly sensitive triple-color flow cytometric analysis using CD45 monoclonal antibody, CD34 monoclonal antibody and propidium iodide. Forty-one patients with MDS (RA: 27, RARS: 1, RAEB: 6, RAEB-t: 3,CMML: 4), 12 patients with aplastic anemi...

Zusammenfassung: | We scored absolute numbers of circulating CD34
+ cells by a highly sensitive triple-color flow cytometric analysis using CD45 monoclonal antibody, CD34 monoclonal antibody and propidium iodide. Forty-one patients with MDS (RA: 27, RARS: 1, RAEB: 6, RAEB-t: 3,CMML: 4), 12 patients with aplastic anemia (AA) and 36 age-adjusted normal subjects were studied. RA had significantly decreased numbers of cells expressing CD34 (0.21±0.29×10
6/l) compared with normal subjects (0.81±0.36×10
6/l)(
