Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| IDO activity and expression measured by kynurenine/tryptophan ratio in serum and by PCR in peripheral blood mononuclear cells. | 3 months | Indoleamine 2,3 -dioxygenase (IDO) activity in patients with CLL was measured by the serum kynurenine/tryptophan (kyn/trp) ratio and - the expression of INDO (encoding IDO enzyme) and INDOL1 (encoding IDO2 enzyme) genes in peripheral blood mononuclear cells via TaqMan real-time PCR. |
