ERRATUM
In the article by George et al entitled "Detection of
leukemic cells in the CD34+CD38
bone marrow
progenitor population in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia,"
which appeared in the June 15, 2001, issue of Blood (Volume
97:3925-3930), the second and third sentences of the next-to-last paragraph should have read: "Of a total of 1.1 × 104
FACS-sorted CD34+CD38
cells from 5 cord blood
samples, 17 clones were analyzed and with the exception of a single
clone, no V
2-D
3 rearrangements were found. Rearrangements were
found with much greater frequency in the
CD34+CD38dim and
CD34+CD38+ fractions, and were possibly
concomitant with lymphoid commitment as demonstrated by the expression
of CD7 and CD19."
