Abstract:
Plasma activity augmenting polymorphonuclear neutrophils adherence was evaluated in 30 untreated patients with chronic myeloid leukemia. The estimations were done by the use of cells isolated from healthy persons. The plasma of some patients with CML induced the intensive adherence of PMN to plastic surface. Further observations suggested, that these patients were characterized by earlier blast crisis occurrence and poorer prognosis.
