In this issue, Leukemia presents the first contributions to the above-mentioned debate. The commentaries address facts and questions pertaining to the topic of RT-PCR controls discussed by Dr Kidd and Dr Lion in their opening comments published in earlier issues of Leukemia and reprinted in the following pages. The controversial viewpoints put forward by V Kidd and T Lion provided the stimulus for this debate, which is being pursued at a time when the use of RTPCR techniques is becoming widely disseminated, making it increasingly important to ensure that the laboratories involved provide reliable results. In this context, the use of adequate controls is certainly one of the critical issues. We hope that the debate on this provocative topic will lead to a consensus enabling us to issue generally acceptable guidelines. However, a consensus will not be forced, and it is understood that guidelines need to be revised. NMB, Editor
