Folic acid binding protein in acute myeloid leukaemia.

PMCID: PMC475947  PMID: 1061712

Abstract

Folic acid binding protein was estimated in the serum of 94 control subjects and a normal range was established. Raised levels were found in folate deficiency and chronic myeloid leukaemia. Considerably raised levels were found in untreated acute myeloid leukaemia, most often in cases with a marked monocytic element.
