Figure 4 Working hypothetical model for differential vasoactive intestinal peptide receptor expression in T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia blasts. The radical difference between low vasoactive intestinal peptide receptor (VPAC)1:VPAC2 ratio in developing thymocytes may act as a biomarker and prognostic indicator, readily distinguishable from peripheral hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) and mature T cells that express high VPAC1:VPAC2 ratios.
