Reconstitution of TRECs in peripheral blood lymphocytes after allogeneic BMT.
TREC counts per microgram PBMC DNA were determined by quantitative PCR in samples obtained at various times after BMT. The closed circles represent individual patient samples. The open circles denote the median value for all samples at that time period. The column to the far left shows results for 10 normal controls of similar ages (32 to 52 years). The limit of detection for this assay is fewer than 10 TRECs per microgram DNA.
