Clonal T-cell receptor ?-chain gene rearrangement by PCR-based GeneScan analysis in advanced cutaneous T-cell lymphoma: a critical evaluation
1 Jun 1999
Abstract excerpt
Detection of clonal T-cell receptor gamma (TCRgamma)-chain gene rearrangement is a promising approach to distinguish between cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCLs) and reactive T-cell infiltrates. Despite the improved sensitivity by using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) rather than Southern blot analysis, monoclonality could be demonstrated in only 53-90 per cent of CTCL biopsies in recent studies. In the present...
