Therefore, these results point to frequently decreased expression levels of CD10, CD13, and CD15 and rarely decreased expression levels of CD33 in association with CML.
The differentiated phenotype in cell lines derived from acute or chronic myeloid leukemias (HL-60, K562, Kasumi-1, NB4, U937, BV173) was characterized for producing superoxide and non-specific esterase, and some with up-regulation of CD13 (cluster of differentiation) and down-regulation of CD15.
FAS/APO-1 antigen was expressed by the cells of 34% of the pts in CML blast crisis (BC) and directly correlated with the the expression of CD34, CD13 and CD14 differentiation antigens.
