 A quantitative nested reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (QN-RT-PCR) method was developed using a plasmid cDNA containing the AML1/ETO (MTG8) fusion transcript from Kasumi-1 cells, an acute-myelogenous leukemia cell line with the t(8;21) translocation.     ///    real-time PCR for measuring AML1/ETO (MTG8) transcripts..
