Results showed that telomerase activities of three leukemia cell lines were positive with the average (1.57±0.056) U, normal bone marrow samples average was (0.085±0.081) U, telomerase value from 22 acute leukemia patients was (0.512±0.294) U. Telomerase activity is higher expressed in acute leukemia than normal samples and decreased significantly after chemotherapy(P<0.01). The results suggested that telomerase activity was related to some malignant diseases and might be used as a marker for tumor diagnosis and therapy.展开更多
