If a person's cell have the antigen, the antibody should NOT be present in that person's serum. If an antibody to a blood group antigen is present in the serum of a person, his or her cells should lack that antigen. The antigens are on the cells and the antibodies are in the serum.
Therapy-related myeloid leukemia (t-MDS/t-AML) is a well-recognized clinical syndrome occurring as a late complication following cytotoxic therapy.1â5 The term âtherapy-relatedâ leukemia is descriptive and based on a patientâs history of exposure to cytotoxic agents.
Most signs and symptoms of AML are caused by the replacement of normal blood cells with leukemic cells. A lack of normal white blood cell production makes the patient susceptible to infections; while the leukemic cells themselves are derived from white blood cell precursors, they have no infection-fighting capacity.arrow or blood is examined under light microscopy, as well as flow cytometry, to diagnose the presence of leukemia, to differentiate AML from other types of leukemia (e.g. acute lymphoblastic leukemia-ALL), and to classify the subtype of disease.
