Background: Overexpression of CD200 in ALL patients indicates that it may be useful in the characterization of leukemia initiating cells (LIC). We aim at investigating the expression pattern of CD200 on leukemic B cells and the correlation of CD200 expression with various clinical and laboratory findings in 62 newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia patients.
Methods: All patients were subjected to full history taking, a thorough clinical examination, and laboratory investigations, which included complete blood count (CBC), BM aspiration, immunophenotyping of blast cells, and CD200 expression.
