To quantify the amount of lymphocyte clone in correlation with the lymphocyte count and to identify the lymphocyte fraction where clonal cells reside, patient-specific ASO primers were designed for 11 patients. Patients 1 to 10 had persistent lymphocytosis with large granular lymphocyte (LGL) morphology during dasatinib treatment. In patients 12, 17, and 18, lymphocyte counts were normal during the therapy. No sorting was done from patient 12 because of small number of cells.

NK cell indicates CD3neg CD16/56+; CD8+ T cell, CD3+CD8+; CD4+ T cell, CD3+CD8neg; ND, not done; and NA, not applicable.
