B-cell clones as early markers for chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
BACKGROUND Otherwise healthy persons with a small number of B-cell clones circulating in the peripheral blood have been designated as having monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis (MBL). Hospital-based series indicate an excess risk of progression from MBL to chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). In this prospective cohort study, we tested the hypothesis that CLL is always preceded by MBL. METHODS Amo...
متن کاملCell polarization defects in early heart development.
Planar Cell Polarity defects have been associated with a range of phenotypes in vertebrates, most notably the closure of the neural tube, the orientation of stereociliary bundles in the inner ear, and the orientation of hair and fur. In a new study in this issue of Circulation Research, Phillips and colleagues present data that implicate PCP signaling in the developing mouse heart. Characterize...
متن کاملAntihelper T cell autoantibody in acquired agammaglobulinemia.
A patient with acquired agammaglobulinemia had an antihelper T cell factor that was identified as an immunoglobulin of the IgG class. The factor specifically bound to the TH2- T cell subset and, in the presence of complement, abolished the helper effect of normal T cells. The antihelper T cell antibody preceded by several years the appearance of suppressor TH2+Ia+ T cells, at which time the cli...
متن کاملMutations in the Human λ5/14.1 Gene Result in B Cell Deficiency and Agammaglobulinemia
B cell precursors transiently express a pre-B cell receptor complex consisting of a rearranged mu heavy chain, a surrogate light chain composed of lambda5/14.1 and VpreB, and the immunoglobulin (Ig)-associated signal transducing chains, Igalpha and Igbeta. Mutations in the mu heavy chain are associated with a complete failure of B cell development in both humans and mice, whereas mutations in m...
متن کاملClonal diversity in the B cell repertoire of patients with X-linked agammaglobulinemia
Ig protein and mRNA expression was examined in a collection of 18 monoclonal EBV-transformed B cell lines derived from five patients with X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA). A diversity of H and L chain isotypes were synthesized by these lines: the majority (12 lines) expressed mu kappa chains, while mu lambda (two lines), gamma kappa (one), gamma lambda (one), delta lambda (one), and alpha kapp...
