Here we compared glucose uptake by AML 100, AML 94 and HL-60, representing a gradient of lower to higher ALDH1 and higher to lower CD34 (Figure 5C) and saw that AML 100 had lower glycolytic metabolism than AML 94 and AML 94 had lower glycolytic metabolism than HL-60. Here, CD34 is linked to acute myeloid leukemia.
