MOLT - 4 cell line slides ( human: T lymphoblast; acute lymphoblastic leukemia ) from GeneTex
Description:Human MOLT-4 cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 with 2 mM L-glutamine and harvested at the log phase of growth. In order to keep the antigens in their native forms, cells were fixed in acetone-methanol. The cells are arrayed on a 12-well (5 mm) adhesive coated slide, with each wells surface specifically treated to enhance cellular attachment and to minimize background staining. Each well is load...Gene Fusion Test to screen children’s with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemi
Dr Moorman and his colleagues from Southampton University have found a new gene based test for identifying DNA fusion, in which DNA of two or more genes fuse. The research team is focusing on detection of genes // linked to the most common form of childhood leukemia, which is called as Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). The researchers took more than 6 years to develop this genetic test....Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia May Attain a 90% Cure Rate
The improvements made in diagnoses and treatment of the fatal childhood cancer acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) will result in a cure rate of 90%, according to researchers belonging to the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.// The progressive improvement in the cure rate since 1962, when only 4% of children with ALL survived, reflects in large part the more effective use of exis...A New Treatment Discovered For Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
A study undertaken by a group of Spanish scientists, amongst which were members of the University Clinic of the University of Navarra and the Centre for Applied Medical Research// (CIMA) of the same university has recently discovered a new line of treatment for patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The conclusions of the research have been published in the official journal, Blood,...'Good' And 'Evil' Clones Of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia cells
According to Australian scientists, there are two types of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) cells, good and bad. //The latter type of cells are those that have a pre-existing immunity to drugs used to treat ALL, that is responsible for relapse after treatment. The discovery means that now researchers may be able to design therapies that will specifically target these resistant subclo...Lymphoblastic Leukemia Survivors at Risk for Secondary Cancer
A new study finds that survivors of acute lymphoblastic leukemia have a significantly increased risk of secondary cancers when compared to the general population. // Acute lymphoblastic leukemia is the most common cancer in children and adolescents, with almost 4,000 new cases diagnosed in the United States each year. It is also one of the most curable pediatric cancers: survival rates f...Promising Results with Epratuzumab and Chemotherapy in Children with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
