Normal levels of peripheral CD19⁺CD5⁺ CLL‐like cells: Toward a defined threshold for CLL follow‐up—A GEIL‐GOELAMS study

Abstract

This manuscript reports on the frequency of CD19(+) CD5(+) B-cells in normal peripheral blood and confirms the combinations recommended by the European research initiative on CLL as being performing to assess remaining CLL cells above a threshold of 4 × 10(-4) white blood cells.
