“…In rare cases both with no diagnosis of LAIP available and with shortage of follow-up material, only one, two, or three tubes can be measured at followup. Based on the frequencies of LAIPs, as used in the recent HO102 study (Zeijlemaker et al, 2019), the chances of finding a good LAIP (tube numbers shown in Table 1) are 59% for tube 1, 20% for tube 2, 11% for tube 3, and 10% for tube 4. So, with such a shortage of material and with no diagnosis information, the preferential choice would be tube 1, followed by tube 2, followed by tube 3 and tube 4. c. Importantly, if there is evidence for a CD34-negative AML (in most cases defined already at diagnosis), at least tube 4, with the antibody for the primitive marker CD133 present, should be used.…”
