Bone marrow and peripheral blood from 28 adult patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) were analyzed for the surface expression of the Thy-1 antigen by dual-colour flow cytometry. The Thy-1 antigen was expressed on greater than 5% of cells from seven patients with the proportions of Thy-1 positive cells ranging from 8.1% to 85.0%. The CD34+ Thy-1+ phenotype was present in all seven cases. The expression of Thy-1 on leukemia cells from patients with AML may need to be considered in the development of methods of normal stem cell isolation from these patients.
