Aims.We examined expression of several key factors regulating proliferation and apoptosis<br />

in B-CLL and difference in expression between them in peripheral blood (PB), bone<br />

marrow (BM) and lymph nodes (LN) representing major compartments in B-CLL. Methods.<br />

Samples from 25 B-CLL patients were taken by conventional techniques from PB,<br />

BM and LN. We analyzed CD5+CD19+ cells for expression of survivin, p53, bcl-2, Akt-1 and<br />

Ki-67 using flow cytometry and expressed results as mean fluorescence intensity (MFI).<br />

Results were statistically analyzed by pair tests. Results. Mean age of analyzed patients<br />

was 69 years (56% male). Mean b-2 microglobulin was <strong>4.</strong>65 mg, mean TTM 9.76. There<br />

were 10, 10 and 5 patients in Binet stages A, B and C respectively. Median expressions (MFI)<br />

for PB, BM and LN respectively were: survivin 1.44, 1.19 and 2.15 (p
