    Abstract

    Spontaneous complete remission (CR) is a rare, poorly understood phenomenon in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). We describe the 10-year follow-up of a patient with MLL-AF9-positive AML (Müller et al. Eur J Haematol 73:62-66, 2004), including ex vivo antileukemic immune responses which may contribute to the long-lasting spontaneous CR (tantamount to cure). We could demonstrate strong in vitro cytotoxic activity mediated by the patient's serum (cryopreserved at diagnosis 2001) against myeloid cell lines. We also addressed cellular cytotoxic activity against myeloid leukemia cells. When the patient's natural killer (NK) cells (obtained in 2007) were tested against the K562 cell line, upregulation of CD107 occurred, implying that long-term CR in this patient could be due to NK cell-mediated disease control.

      Related information

      • Related Citations
        Calculated set of PubMed citations closely related to the selected article(s) retrieved using a word weight algorithm. Related articles are displayed in ranked order from most to least relevant, with the “linked from” citation displayed first.
      • Gene
        Gene records that cite the current articles. Citations in Gene are added manually by NCBI or imported from outside public resources.
      • Gene (GeneRIF)
        Gene records that have the current articles as Reference into Function citations (GeneRIFs). NLM staff reviewing the literature while indexing MEDLINE add GeneRIFs manually.
      • HomoloGene
        HomoloGene clusters of homologous genes and sequences that cite the current articles. These are references on the Gene and sequence records in the HomoloGene entry.
      • Nucleotide
        Primary database (GenBank) nucleotide records reported in the current articles as well as Reference Sequences (RefSeqs) that include the articles as references.
      • Nucleotide (RefSeq)
        NCBI nucleotide Reference Sequences (RefSeqs) that are cited in the current articles, included in the corresponding Gene Reference into Function, or that include the PubMed articles as references.
      • Nucleotide (Weighted)
        Nucleotide records associated with the current articles through the Gene database. These are the related sequences on the Gene record that are added manually by NCBI.

      • Protein (Weighted)
        Protein records associated with the current articles through related Gene database records. These are the related sequences on the Gene record that are added manually by NCBI.
      • Substance (MeSH Keyword)
        PubChem chemical substance (submitted) records that are classified under the same Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) controlled vocabulary as the current articles.
      • Taxonomy via GenBank
        Taxonomy records associated with the current articles through taxonomic information on related molecular database records (Nucleotide, Protein, Gene, SNP, Structure).
      • UniGene
        UniGene clusters of expressed sequences that are associated with the current articles through references on the clustered sequence records and related Gene records.
      • Protein
        Protein translation features of primary database (GenBank) nucleotide records reported in the current articles as well as Reference Sequences (RefSeqs) that include the articles as references.
