The existence and identification of leukemia-initiating cells in adult acute B lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) remain controversial. We examined whether adult B-ALL is hierarchically organized into phenotypically distinct subpopulations of leukemogenic and non-leukemogenic cells or whether most B-ALL cells retain leukemogenic capacity, irrespective of their immunophenotype profiles. Our results suggest that adult B-ALL follows the stochastic stem cell model and that the expression of CD34 and CD38 in B-ALL is reversibly and not hierarchically organized.
