Flow cytometric analysis of LEF1 was performed in 64 patient samples qualitatively and quantitatively by comparing the staining intensity and the ratios of the median fluorescence intensities (MFIs) of LEF1 in B cells of interest to the internal reference cell populations.

Qualitative analysis of patient samples showed that all 25 cases of CLL\/SLL but none of the other small B-cell lymphomas were positive for LEF1.
