Abstract excerpt
Follicular lymphoma (FL) cells have inherited an activated hypermutation mechanism from their origin of germinal centre B cells. Based on today's knowledge of the intrinsic properties related to this mechanism and the VH base composition, reconsideration of previous reports should be made on a broader range of samples. The present study examined the mutation pattern of the VH genes expressed by 55 cases of FL. FL...
