[Importance of the expression of the C6 molecule on cells in chronic lymphatic leukemia]

The authors made immunophenotyping analyses of blood cells of 50 patients with the diagnosis of B-CLL. Malignant cells contained in all instances HLA DR and CD24 molecules. The superficial molecule CD5 was expressed on cells in 85.7% molecule CD6 on 66.7% cases. By statistical analysis the relationship between selected clinical parameters and expression of surface molecules CD5, CD6 and CD10 was sought. A statistically significantly higher number of leucocytes was found in patients with expression of molecule CD6.
