CD45 expression in AML | |||
Weak expression of CD45 is "weak" i.e. significantly less intense than normal T cells, B cells or monocytes. The typically low side scatter means that myeloid blast cells tend to form a relatively uniform population on CD45/SSc plots. However, there is some variability releted to indididual subtypes. | |||
Markers of pimitive cell type expected in AML | |||
Marker | Expectation | Comment | |
CD34 | Frequently expressed, most often in less differentiated forms of AML. Expression often less intense than in lymphoid leukaemias | ||
TdT | Expressed particularly in less differentiated forms of AML. Often on a sub-population of cells; expression usually less intense than in lymphoid leukaemias | ||
CD7 | Characteristic of CLL, usually less strong than on T cells |
