METHODS--581 formalin fixed, paraffin embedded trephine biopsy specimens of the iliac crest were immunostained with QBEND10 (avidin-biotin complex\/ABC method). The number of CD34+ haemopoietic stem cells\/blast cells (referred to hereafter as CD34+ cells) was determined in each case. The Wilcoxon test was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS--The following diagnostic categories were defined: (1) normal or reactive bone marrow (n = 356), (2) lymphoproliferative disorders, usually non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of low grade malignancy or multiple myeloma (n = 118), (3) myelodysplastic syndrome (n = 22), (4) acute leukaemia (n = 44), and (5) myeloproliferative diseases (n = 41). The average number of CD34+ cells was very low (0.2\/HPF) in normal and reactive bone marrow, in lymphoproliferative disorders and in the myelodysplastic syndrome subtypes RA and RARS. Myeloproliferative diseases showed an average of three CD34+ cells\/HPF. However, the average number of CD34+ cells was significantly higher (p &lt; 0.05) in the myelodysplastic syndrome subtypes RAEB and RAEB-T (8.7\/HPF) and in acute leukaemia (including both myeloid and lymphoblastic leukaemia; 111.7\/HPF). CONCLUSIONS--QBEND10 is of value for the identification of RAEB and RAEB-T in routinely processed bone marrow biopsy specimens because it enables the detection of even small increases in the number of CD34+ cells.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/jcp.48.4.291","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,6,9]],"date-time":"2007-06-09T00:50:46Z","timestamp":1181350246000},"page":"291-294","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["QBEND10 for the diagnosis of myelodysplastic syndromes in routinely processed bone marrow biopsy specimens."],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"48","author":[{"given":"H P","family":"Horny","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M","family":"Wehrmann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"H U","family":"Schlicker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A","family":"Eichstaedt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M R","family":"Clemens","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"E","family":"Kaiserling","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1995,4,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"189","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2141.1982.tb08475.x","article-title":"Proposals for the classification of the myelodysplastic syndromes","volume":"51","author":"Bennett, J.M.; Catovsky, D.; Daniel, M.T.","year":"1982","unstructured":"Bennett JM, Catovsky D, Daniel MT, et al.
