ClinConnect Summary

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and mobilized peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) will be collected from patients who have leukemia or lymphoma or other medical conditions involving altered lymphohematopoietic stem cell or immunological function. These PBMC will be assessed for cellular markers by flow cytometry and will be studied for in vitro T helper, effector and suppressor cell functions, to determine whether cell mediated immunity is involved in the condition, or indicative of therapeutic efficacy or is predictive for outcome. PBSC will be assessed for cellular markers and in...
