Hello All,
Just wanted to report my latest FISH results: BCR-ABL T(9,22) FUSION 0.000 The real time assay shows no evidence of expression of the BCR-ABL fusion transcript which usually results from t(9,22) (q34;q11) translocation. This assay is a real-time quantitative RT-PCR assay. Extracted sample RNA is subjected to a real-time RT-PCR reaction to measure the quantity of the two types of BCR-ABL fusion transcripts (b2a2/b3a2 and e1a2). An additional amplification for ABL gene is performed as a control for sample RNA quality. <blah, blah, blah ... > Then, it says: The analytical sensitivity of this test is 1 tumor cell in 100,000 normal cells. So, I'm happy to report that I'm still a big fat zero! (I'm sure there are a few quiet leukemia cells around, but I'm glad they're just lurkers.) (My calcium & potassium was a little low this time, so its back to taking my extra supplements again. Guess the bananas and oranges aren't quite doing the job.)
