Abstract excerpt
CD10, a proteolytic enzyme seen in germinal center cells and in the majority of follicular lymphomas, is occasionally expressed in diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCL). To clarify the origin and cellular characteristics of CD10-positive DLBCL, we analyzed 36 de novo cases of DLBCL for somatic mutations of the immunoglobulin heavy chain variable region (VH) genes and for their immunophenotypes. Expression...
