METHOD OF DETECTING SOLID CANCER CELLS AND HISTOLOGICAL HETEROTYPIA AND METHOD OF EXAMINING TISSUE FOR BONE MARROW TRANSPLANTATION AND PERIPHERAL BLOOD STEM CELL TRANSPLANTATION

摘要

The invention provides a method of detecting solid cancer cells which comprises determining the level of expression of WT1 gene in a test tissue, a method of detecting the atypia of a tissue which comprises determining the level of expression of WT1 gene in the tissue, and a method of testing a graft material tissue for bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cell transplantation which comprises determining the level of expression of WT1 gene in a CD34<-> cell fraction of the tissue to detect leukemic cells and solid cancer cells in the tissue.
