Abstract

The distribution of the fluorescent euchrysine-binding grains in the peripheral and bonmarrow stem cells was estimated in 28 cases of different types of acute leukemia verified according to Lòffler's cytochemical classification. The relationship between the pattern of fluorescent euchrysine-binding grains of human stem cells and the cytochemical type of acute leukemias has been established. Consequently, the authors suggest that the euchrysine-binding grains pattern of human stem cells may have a diagnostic value in distinguishing between various types of acute leukemia.
