Abstract excerpt
The course of clonal evolution of 2 related clones in the blood of a patient with Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia (WM) indicates the functional importance for the expression of the B-cell receptor for the survival of these malignant cells. Protein and nucleotide sequencing of the paraproteins' variable regions revealed 2 predominant Vlambda and 2 VH sequences, each set comprised in the ratio 1:1.5. The 2 VH...
