Guest guest Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 Hello All, Here's my latest FISH report. The details are here in case someone hasn't seen this before: BCR-ABL T(9,22) FUSION 0.000 The real time assay shows no evidence of expression of the BCR-ABL fusion transcript which usually results from t(9,22) (q34;q11) translocation. This assay is a real-time quantitative RT-PCR assay. Extracted sample RNA is subjected to a real-time RT-PCR reaction to measure the quantity of the two types of BCR-ABL fusion transcripts (b2a2/b3a2 and e1a2). An additional amplification for ABL gene is performed as a control for sample RNA quality. <blah, blah, blah ...> Then, it says: The analytical sensitivity of this test is 1 tumor cell in 100,000 normal cells. So, I'm happy to report that I'm still a big fat zero too! (I'm sure there are a few lurking leukemia around, but I'm glad they are just lurking...) To your good blood, Gale Bacon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
