A 12-year-old boy presented with generalized lymphadenopathy and high numbers of blasts in the blood and marrow. 71.Radiologic investigations revealed a mass in the anterior mediastinum. A diagnosis of T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia was made after flow cytometry was done. Which one of the following antigens is most likely present in the blast cells in this patient?A. CD3 B. CD15 C. CD20 D. CD33 E. CD61

Step 1
The patient has been diagnosed with T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). This is a type of leukemia where the malignant cells originate from T cell precursors. Show more…

A 10-month-old boy has a history of severe, frequent viral and bacterial infections. He is awaiting a bone marrow transplant. Flow cytometry shows that the lymphocytes lack both the T-lymphocyte and B-lymphocyte receptors, but they express natural killer cell markers. A defect in which of the following best explains this patient's condition? A) Bruton tyrosine kinase B) CD8 antigen C) Complement C2 gene D) Recombinase-activating gene 1 E) Thymus development

Which of the following would you not consider as a possible treatment outcome in a B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B cell ALL) patient that received an infusion of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells encoding specificity for the surface antigen CD19? Elimination of healthy, non-leukemic B cells expressing CD19 The development of inflammatory autoimmunity targeting gliadin-expressing enterocytes Extremely high levels of serum IL-6 accompanied by neurotoxicity Elimination of CD19+ leukemia cells
