Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase as a leukemic marker in bone marrow transplant recipients. 1979

K G Blume, and E Beutler, and W Kuhl

Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase was measured in bone marrow samples from five patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in relapse before bone marrow transplantation and serially thereafter. This enzyme seems to be a sensitive marker which can serve as an early indicator of recurrence of the disease. It is not influenced by clinical graft-versus-host reaction.

D001853 Bone Marrow The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells. Marrow,Red Marrow,Yellow Marrow,Marrow, Bone,Marrow, Red,Marrow, Yellow
D004259 DNA-Directed DNA Polymerase DNA-dependent DNA polymerases found in bacteria, animal and plant cells. During the replication process, these enzymes catalyze the addition of deoxyribonucleotide residues to the end of a DNA strand in the presence of DNA as template-primer. They also possess exonuclease activity and therefore function in DNA repair.
