Marker patterns in typical acute myeloid leukaemia
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
These markers are generally regarded as indicating less differentiated cells, although they have some value in indicating T or B lineage when strogly expressed.
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 Similar to TdT, CD7 expression is recognised on a proportion of AML, usually those with less differentaited phenotype. Most consistently expressed in T-ALL.
