Results of the RQ-PCR assays using an MGB probe and a non-MGB probe in 18 patients with ALL
| Patient | Normalised values of PCR target detected by MGB probe* (those by non-MGB probe) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Initial diagnosis | 15 days | 1 month | 3 months | 4 months | |
| ALL, acute lymphoblastic leukaemia; blank, not determined; MGB, minor groove binder; RQ-PCR, real time quantitative polymerase chain reaction; –, not detected. | |||||
| *The normalised values of targets were expressed as the ratio of the target copy number for each 105 cell equivalent from the integrated standard curves of human β actin, as described previously.4 | |||||
