An Alternatively Spliced Form of CD79b Gene May Account for Altered B-Cell Receptor Expression in B-Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
1 Apr 1999
Abstract excerpt
Several functional anomalies of B-chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) cells may be explained by abnormalities of the B-cell receptor (BCR), a multimeric complex formed by the sIg homodimer and the noncovalently bound heterodimer Igalpha/Igbeta (CD79a/CD79b). Because the expression of the extracellular Ig-like domain of CD79b has been reported to be absent in the cells of most CLL cases, we have investigated the...
