Abstract

The aim of this study was to estimate sPECAM-1, sICAM-2 and TNF-alpha and IL-18 concentrations in serum patients with chronic myelogenic leukemia. The results indicate of increased level sPECAM-1, sICAM-2 and TNF-alpha, IL-18 concentrations in serum patients with chronic myelogenic leukemia. Elevation levels of sPECAM-1 and sICAM-2 may lead to inhibit of making myelogenic leukemia cells infiltrations through the block of surface their receptors in patients with CML. High concentration of TNF-alpha and 11-18 in blood serum may indicate high expression of sPECAM-1 by activated specific enzymes responsible for releasing sPECAM-1.
