Abstract excerpt
Using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), six primary brain lymphomas, pathologically diagnosed as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, were examined for rearranged VH-D-JH sequences of the immunoglobulin heavy chain gene, focusing on somatic mutations and intraclonal heterogeneity. The reliability of the isolated PCR clones was confirmed by in situ hybridization (ISH) with...
