ACC, here is some information from the Leukemia Society of America site ( leukemia.org )
***
CLL:
The most common types of leukemia in adults are acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) with an estimated 9,400 new cases annually; and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), with some 7,300 new cases this year.

NHL:
About 62,500 Americans will be diagnosed with lymphoma in 1998 (7,100 cases of Hodgkin's disease and 55,400 cases of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.)

***
So, NHL seems to be a much bigger indication, and now I found out that the antibody has been tested for this indication:

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

On the surface, these results do not look as good as those obtained with the IDEC or Coulter antibodies.
