Abstract excerpt
The mutational status of tumor immunoglobulin V(H) genes is providing a powerful prognostic marker for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), with patients having tumors expressing unmutated V(H) genes being in a less favorable subset. However, the biologic differences correlating with V(H) gene status that could determine the clinical course of the disease are unknown. Here we show that differing responses to IgM...
