While TdT-positive cells are found in small numbers in healthy lymph nodes and tonsils, the malignant cells of acute lymphoblastic leukemia are also TdT-positive, and the antibody can, therefore, be used as part of a panel to diagnose this disease and to distinguish it from, for example, small cell tumors of childhood.

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a cancer of the lymphoid line of blood cells characterized by the development of large numbers of immature lymphocytes. [1] Symptoms may include feeling tired, pale skin color, fever , easy bleeding or bruising, enlarged lymph nodes , or bone pain. [ 1 ]
The most common T-cell leukemia is precursor T-cell lymphoblastic leukemia. [1] It causes 15% of acute leukemias in childhood, and also 40% of lymphomas in childhood. [1] It is most common in adolescent males. [1] Its morphology is identical to that of precursor B-cell lymphoblastic leukemia. [1] Cell markers include TdT, CD2, CD7. [1]
Acute leukemia or acute leukaemia is a family of serious medical conditions relating to an original diagnosis of leukemia. In most cases, these can be classified according to the lineage, myeloid or lymphoid , of the malignant cells that grow uncontrolled, but some are mixed and for those such an assignment is not possible.
T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is a type of acute lymphoblastic leukemia characterized by an aggressive malignant neoplasm of the bone marrow. [6] Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a condition, wherein immature white blood cells accumulate in the bone marrow and crowd out normal white blood cells. [ 7 ]
Subtypes include precursor B acute lymphoblastic leukemia, precursor T acute lymphoblastic leukemia, Burkitt's leukemia, and acute biphenotypic leukemia. While most cases of ALL occur in children, 80% of deaths from ALL occur in adults. [17] Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) most often affects adults over the age of 55. It sometimes occurs in ...
T-lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (WHO 2008), [1]: 219 previously labeled precursor T-lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (WHO 2001) [1]: 219 is a form of lymphoid leukemia [2] [3] and lymphoma [4] in which too many T-cell lymphoblasts (immature white blood cells) are found in the blood, bone marrow, and tissues, particularly mediastinal lymph nodes.
Tisagenlecleucel is indicated for the treatment of those under 25 years of age with B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) that is refractory or in second or later relapse; or adults with relapsed or refractory (r/r) large B-cell lymphoma after two or more lines of systemic therapy including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) not otherwise specified, high grade B-cell lymphoma ...
