Abstract excerpt
Burkitt's lymphomas harbour chromosomal translocations bringing c-MYC into the vicinity of one of the immunoglobulin gene loci. Point mutations have been described within c-MYC in several Burkitt's lymphomas and it has been proposed that translocation into the Ig loci might have transformed c-MYC into a substrate for the antibody hypermutation mechanism. Here we test this hypothesis by exploiting a Burkitt's...
