aF and R indicate forward and reverse primers in each case. bTwo different primer sets were used for emm1 and mga. Essentially identical results were obtained from both.
aProbe (r) = Reverse TaqMan MGB probe; PML primer 1 for bcr1, bcr2 and bcr3; PML primer 5 for bcr1 and bcr2; PML primer 6 for bcr3Primers and probes for 3-plex RT-qPCR of PML-RARa and ABL.
