Antibodies play an important role in the therapy of patients with hematological tumors and have become an established part of this therapy. By using the example of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), different antibodies with different mechanisms of action are described. The focus of this review is on the description of a bispecific antibody molecule and an immunoconjugate in the relapse of ALL. Although the antibodies have improved the treatment of patients with ALL, it still holds true that the therapy of patients can only be successfully carried out with a strategy that integrates different, mutually complementary schemes. The improvement of therapy can only be achieved through clinical studies with clearly defined protocols.

Flow Cytometry to Estimate Leukemia Stem Cells in Primary Acute Myeloid Leukemia and in Patient-derived-xenografts, at Diagnosis and Follow Up

We outline a protocol to detect simultaneous expression of leukemia stem cell markers on primary acute myeloid leukemia cells by flow cytometry. We show how to quantify three progenitor populations and a putative LSC population with increasing degree of maturation. We confirmed the presence of these populations in corresponding...

Here, we describe a technique to isolate the side population cells from a zebrafish model of myc-induced T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). This side population assay is highly sensitive and is described for zebrafish T-ALL, but it may be applicable to other malignant and non-malignant zebrafish cell...
