Serial liver function tests and percutaneous liver biopsies were performed on 21 children receiving treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). The patients received continuing chemotherapy either with daily 6-mercaptopurine and weekly methotrexate or with five-day pulses of these drugs every

## Abstract Circulating immune complexes have been measured using the (^125^I)C1q binding test in 216 sera from 135 children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. Increased circulating immune complexes were detectable in 10.7% of the sera and 10.4% of the children. There was no correlation between th
In childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia there are large interpatient variations in levels of the apoptosis-regulating proteins Bax and Bcl-2, but the molecular basis for this variation is unknown. Point-mutations in bax have been reported in cell lines derived from haematological malignancies. Fr
## Abstract An enhanced linkageโspecific 9โ__O__โacetylated sialic acid (9โ__O__โAcSA) on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, ALL (PBMC~ALL~, 9โ__O__โAcSA^+^ cells) was demonstrated by using a lectin, AchatininโH, whose lectinogenic epitope was
Full skeletal survey was performed on 193 consecutive children presenting over a 6-year period with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). A record was made of the degree of bone pain in these patients and 60 others presenting immediately prior to the availability of skeletal surveys. Bone pain was pr
## Abstract We have previously demonstrated induction of __O__โacetylated sialoglycoproteins on lymphoblasts of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). These molecules promote survival of lymphoblasts by preventing apoptosis. Although __O__โacetylated sialoglycoproteins are over expressed, t
