## Abstract Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) studies were performed in three cases of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) with marker chromosomes to analyze the contribution of chromosome 21 in these markers. FISH with a chromosome 21 painting probe confirmed that chromosome 21 was involved
Monosomy 21 and metacentric markers corresponding in size to chromosomes 8 to 12 were found as the only clonal chromosomal changes in a child with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Chromosome painting with a whole chromosome 2 I -specific probe showed that the marker originated from chromosome 2 I
## Abstract HLA class I molecules serve the essential immunological function of presenting antigen to CD8+ T lymphocytes. Tumor cells may present tumorβspecific antigen to T cells via these molecules, but many tumors show a loss or downβregulation of HLA class I expression and this may serve as an
