358 Burkitts Lymphoma Purging Assay
have already stressed elsewhere in this book (see Favrot et al. "Comparative
Efficiency of an lmmunomagnetic Purging Procedure and a Rabbit Complement
Lysis for Eliminating Burkitt's Lymphoma Cells From Bone Marrow," and
Combaret et al. "Eliminating Burkitt's Cells From Excess Bone Marrow With an
lmmunomagnetic Purging Procedure"), clinical pilot studies that permit an
accurate quantification of residual malignant cells before and after the
procedure for each individual patient are needed before extensive multicenter
studies may be started. Our assay is promising in this respect.
