## Abstract ## Background A sensitive method for detecting minimal residual disease in the peritoneal cavity by quantifying carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) mRNA using real-time quantitative reverse transcriptionβpolymerase chain reaction (RQ-RTβPCR) was developed. The clinical value of the method f
Recurrent translocations involving chromosome band 11q23 are often found in human acute leukemias. Recently, the MLL gene on 11q23 and 10 partner genes involved in these translocations have been cloned and characterized. We performed a reverse transcriptasepolymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to detec
A clonal-specific polymerase chain reaction technique to detect T-cell receptor delta gene rearrangement in acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) was evaluated. It was applied to detect minimal residual disease. A sensitive and specific technique to detect minimal resi
