Adenosine Deaminase and Terminal Transferase in Leukemic Cells

  • Chapter
Biochemical and Biological Markers of Neoplastic Transformation

Part of the book series: NATO Advanced Science Institutes Series ((NSSA,volume 57))

Abstract

The characterization of leukemic blasts has been recently greatly improved by the use of biochemical markers, such as Terminal deoxynucleotidyl Transferase (TdT) and Adenosine Deaminase (ADA).
