A total of 54 primers was developed (1) to amplify rearrangements of the TCRD, TCRG, and IGK (Kde) genes as well as TAL1 deletions; (2) to sequence the junctional regions and breakpoint fusion regions; and (3) to perform MRD detection in bone marrow or peripheral blood samples during follow-up of ALL patients.
We developed primers/probe combinations for RQ-PCR analysis of a total of three IGH, two TCRD, two TCRG and three IGK gene rearrangements in four randomly chosen precursor-B-ALL.
