Figure 8.
Minimal residual disease (MRD) kinetics after autologous stem cell transplantation (SCT) and non-myeloablative allogeneic SCT.40
MRD levels (number of CLL specific DNA copies per total DNA copies in the sample compared to the reference [pre-therapeutic] sample) of patients after myeloablative conditioning and auto-SCT and after non myeloablative allogeneic SCT. Black-filled symbols (circles and triangles) denote MRD-positive samples whereas blank symbols denote the sensitivity of PCR-negative samples (calculated minimum MRD level, which would have been detected in this particular sample).
